Dominic Grieve at Prison Radio
08.09.09
In my capacity as founder and chair of the Prison Radio Association I hosted a visit yesterday to Brixton prison with Dominic Grieve, the shadow minister of justice, so that he could come and see how Electric Radio Brixton works and also gain an insight into our vision of a national prison radio service. As much as one can feel optimistic in these uncertain times, his genuine enthusiasm and empathy with our work and the wider world of criminal justice gave me a real feeling of hope. It is now up to us, the voluntary sector, to build on such glimmers of hope – sooner rather later.
