** Calling everyone ** – if anyone would like to take part in some spontaneous performance on the streets of london, the prison group will be meeting at the Gherkin (Swiss Re Tower) at 9am this Sunday morning. We need as many participants as we can get our hands on! I will provide tea [...]
Hi – just an update on the letter writing that is part of our dynamic, outward-rippling project. We are writing to a wide range of places.

For the Prison group: Don’t know if anyone’s seen it but just thought of this film which is pretty relevant and also v good, about 3 (innocent) men who are incarcerated together and escape jail. It’s fairly light-hearted as it stars Roberto Bernini and Tom Waits, also its set in New Orleans (Kate!). If anyone [...]

An update from the prison group (meetings 1-3)
Posted: December 5, 2011 by jamesrrellison in The PrisonWhere & when can we work/facilitate? Ideas about working inside and outside the prison. Can we utilize the archive the prison has created as a way to provide a narrative based approach, can we use prison profiling, will we be allowed to access the private information of prisoners? Should we work with the Koestler, what [...]

I thought the following statement is interesting: “our aim was to illuminate the simple fact that prison impacts all [...]
