HMP Eastwood Park WI

Jenny Earle, Director of Prison Reform Trust’s Reducing Women’s Imprisonment programme, joined Countess Sara Bathurst, the former High Sheriff of Gloucestershire, on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to talk about the Women’s Institute opening up a branch in HMP Eastwood Park, and how this can provide a support network for the women to help reintegrate back into their community on release.

The WI branch currently has 35 members and is called ‘Lady B’s Butterflies’ in honour of the Countess being one of the founders.  Listen to the interview again by clicking here.
