Set inside a single room in Folsom Prison, “The Work” follows three men from outside as they participate in a four-day group therapy retreat with level-four convicts. Over the four days, each man in the room takes his turn at delving deep into his past. “The Work” offers a powerful and rare look past the cinder block walls, steel doors and the dehumanizing tropes in our culture to reveal a movement of change and redemption that transcends what we think of as rehabilitation.

Time: 10:30 – 12:30
Price: Free
Description:
You are warmly invited to attend this free event to discuss future developments following the closure of HMP Holloway as well as on-going therapy provision in prisons.
The MoJ have recently launched the formal consultation on the draft Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) for the Holloway Prison site (see https://www.islington.gov.uk/consultations/development-of-holloway-prison-site for more information). The SPD sets out how the development of the site should be approached by potential developers.
The Saturday Forensic Forum encourages discussion amongst professionals and we look forward to a stimulating meeting and hope you will join us in making plans for future presentations.

Sir James Munby is a leading judicial voice on children and young people. His landmark judgment in November 2002 on the application of the Children Act 1989 to children in prison was the first major legal case brought by the Howard League legal team.
This year, the Howard League celebrates fifteen years of legal work with children and young people in prison, many of whom have benefited from the impact of that decision.

http://www.ptcuk.org/about/“One person suffering from PTSD in a family affects all the rest: everyone becomes in a state of hyper-vigilance. The sufferer’s symptoms seem bizarre at best, intolerable at worst. Imagine if you have tens, or thousands, of people all living together, who have these kinds of symptoms. Together, it makes for a psychotic society.”
