If this is what it takes to help rehabilitate I'm all for it
Paying (part) of their way for their time inside? Excellent idea

I saw a program on this a while back, don't know if it was the same prison but the inmates where taught by professionals how to run a restaurant, there were chefs, maitre d's etc, it was dry though If I remember correctly, so no wine waiter. Any inmate lucky enough to get a job in the restaurant had to be on their best behaviour, there was zero tolerance. Good idea all round, they came out skilled and learnt about commitment and responsibility, they should maybe try it with more professions, if prisoners are released and can find work quickly then recidivism might reduce.

Low risk prisoners. Brilliant idea.

Too often people sit in their ivory towers passing judgement on others. Some people are/were born with not much hope. This scheme could give them the skills and experience to be a fine, upstanding, tax paying, citizen.

That os a great idea. We shouldn't knock it.

What a good idea. If I lived near there I would definitely patronise it. Nice to see something practical being done to rehabilitate prisoners.

I just hope they can find permanent jobs once released so they can keep on the straight and narrow.

Ker..ching! I blame Gordon Ramsay's programme a few months ago!

I wonder what they term as low risk. Good idea in principle, but reading the statistics, 30 odd percent still re-offend..

Quite a good idea as long as there are no side orders of batter(y) and asSALT. Might even pay it a visit next time i'm in Wales
