Peace Education Programme gets a mention in positive Guardian article about Thameside Prison

21/1/2016

In an article called "There's more than one way to run a prison" written by Eric Allison, the Guardians prison correspondent, The Prem Rawat Foundation Peace In Education Programme gets a mention.

 
Extract:
Thameside is a modern jail, far removed from the Victorian local prisons that still dominate. The grounds are spacious and pleasant, with outside sports facilities that could grace a university campus. Take away the bars from the jail wings and you could be looking at a low-budget hotel. The Thameside director, John Biggin, says security is concentrated mainly on the perimeter, which enables him to operate a more relaxed regime within the prison.
Prisoners are out of their cells for a minimum of eight hours a day – even at weekends. That is virtually unheard of in local jails, most of which lock prisoners in their cells from Friday lunchtime until Monday morning. Again unusually, prisoners eat communally and not in their cells.
Leaving the reception, we are shown a classroom, where a peace education programme is in full swing. Run by the US-based Prem Rawat Foundation, it works in jails across the globe and Thameside was chosen to launch the programme in the UK.
