I took part in a course with Unlock Drama while I was at HMP The Mount, and it was one of the most humanising and liberating experiences I had while I was in custody. You guys really do great work 👏🏻 #getoutmypub

They say education is freedom. I learned that while I was locked up - The Longford Trust Our Longford Scholar Will Pendray graduated last week (pictured right with trust director Peter Stanford).  As he waited in line to walk out on stage […]

Longford Scholar, Will, graduated last week.

As he waited to shake hands with the Vice-Chancellor, he thought about all that had happened to him.

And how his graduation proved wrong the people who had counted him out.

Left school at 13. By 16, I was trapped in the revolving doors of prison. I’ve spent years behind bars, and at times couldn’t see a way out.

Now? I just graduated with a Master’s degree with distinction.🎓

Your past doesn’t define your future.

New Barlinnie prison costs double to almost £1bn The replacement HMP Glasgow will open in 2028, three years later than originally planned.

For this price, we could build over 6,000 affordable homes. That’s 4.5 homes per prisoner place. Which choice would make Scotland fairer and safer?

Congratulations to our scholar, Will Pendray, who has graduated from Brighton University with a distinction in his MA in creative writing (pictured with his daughter and trust director Peter Stanford).

Poet, musician and journalist, Will has a bright and brilliant career ahead of him.
