Prison industry
In general all industries within the prison regime reflect the government policy of being labour intensive, undertaking work that deflects imports and where possible establishes partnerships with industry.
Our objective is to provide an environment that emulates in all respects the terms, conditions, practices and ethics both offered and expected by industrial employers. Thus giving prisoners “real work” experience and best preparing them for work and life on their return to the community.
