The two the characters and their dialogues are very amusing. You are going to enjoy those mysteries.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good old days!By K. G.I have just started reading this book and I must say it is quite interesting! Having lived in Devon for many years, I occasionally catch myself reminiscing of all the places and sceneries there. I will keep on reading! An American tourist was found unconscious on Plymouth’s Barbican with a serious head injury. Somebody had ransacked his bag, leaving a bottle of Plymouth Gin in it – an empty bottle containing only a one-dollar banknote. The following night there was an attempt to break in to the Black Friars Distillery…Although the case was highly unusual, there was nothing unusual about the retired comedian Phil Blandford helping his friend Detective Inspector Greg Nash to solve the mystery. At the time, they could hardly have imagined that the investigation would lead them to the secret of the birth of the United States of America, kept hidden for almost 400 years.The book is set in Devon and Cornwall, and features 12 mysterious cases rooted in the lore of two of the most beautiful British counties. The Pilgrim Fathers, King Arthur’s Castle, the Beast of Bodmin, Land’s End, the English Riviera, the Eden project and the D-Day tragedy on Slapton Sands are among the landmarks and events that provide the background for the systematic investigations of Detective Nash and Mr Blandford’s very different “Socratic method”, with its blend of knowledge, intuition, humour and irony.Contents1.

  • Prison Education in England and Wales. (2Nd Revised Edition)
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 388 842 CE 070 238 AUTHOR Ripley, Paul TITLE Prison Education in England and Wales. (2nd Revised Edition). Mendip Papers MP 022. INSTITUTION Staff Coll., Bristol (England). PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds).

DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • Prison Riots
    PRISON RIOTS 1990 Strangeways Prison riot Prisoners protesting on the badly damaged roof of the prison. Paul Taylor is in the centre with his arms outstretched. The 1990 Strangeways Prison riot was a 25-day prison riot and rooftop protest at Strangeways Prison in Manchester , England. The riot began on 1 April 1990 when prisoners took control of the prison chapel , and the riot quickly spread throughout most of the prison. The riot and rooftop protest ended on 25 April when the final five prisoners were removed from the rooftop, making it the longest prison riot in British penal history. One prisoner was killed during the riot, and 147 prison officers and 47 prisoners were injured. Much of the prison was damaged or destroyed with the cost of repairs coming to £55 million. The riot sparked a series of disturbances in prisons across England, Scotland and Wales , resulting in the British government announcing a public inquiry into the riots headed by Lord Woolf . The resulting Woolf Report concluded that conditions in the prison had been intolerable, and recommended major reform of the prison system. The Guardian newspaper described the report as a blueprint for the restoration of "decency and justice into jails where conditions had become intolerable". [] Background Manchester's Strangeways Prison , which opened in 1868, was a "local prison" designed to hold prisoners from the surrounding area, mainly those on remand or serving sentences of less than five years. [1][2] At the time of the riot, the main prison consisted of six wings connected by a central rotunda known as the Centre.

The Prisons and Probation Ombudsman aims to make a significant contribution to safer, fairer custody and community supervision. One of the most important ways in which we work towards that aim is by carrying out independent investigations into deaths, due to any cause, of prisoners, young people in detention, residents of approved premises and detainees in immigration centres. My office carries out investigations to understand what happened and identify how the organisations whose actions we oversee can improve their work in the future. Mr Frederick Bailey died on 22 May 2017, while a prisoner at HMP Exeter. He died as a result of food entering his airway, which was caused by heart failure and frailty. He was 81 years old. We offer our condolences to Mr Bailey’s family and friends. Mr Bailey received a good standard of care at both HMP Exeter and HMP Dartmoor. We are satisfied that the care he received was equivalent to that which he could have expected in the community.

  • Hm Prison Dartmoor
    REPORT ON AN UNANNOUNCED FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION OF HM PRISON DARTMOOR 17 – 21 SEPTEMBER 2001 BY HM CHIEF INSPECTOR OF PRISONS 2 PREFACE The ability to carry out unannounced inspections of any prison, at any time, is one of the most important of the Inspectorate’s powers. This report shows its value. We discovered a prison which was itself imprisoned in its own past - locked into unsuitable but historic buildings and, more importantly, into an outdated culture of over-control and disrespect for prisoners. This preface, and much of the report that follows, focuses on that culture, as we believe that tackling it is fundamental to the future and development of the prison. It is to the credit of the new governor, the area manager and the Director-General that they share that view, and were beginning to address these problems before our arrival. We hope that this report will help produce the changes that they, and some of the staff we met, wish to see. It is, however, alarming that the long-standing and inappropriate practices we record here had not been effectively tackled before. Dartmoor is a lesson in how negative cultures can take hold, or re-establish themselves, if a prison does not have a positive vision, reinforced by strong management structures, both locally and centrally. This will not be a comfortable report for Dartmoor and its staff. In the light of what follows, it is important to make clear that there were pockets of good practice - on the vulnerable prisoners’ wings, in offending behaviour and drugs work, and in dealing with suicide and self-harm - which we commend.

These inspections are usually unannounced, are carried out by a small team and invariably last for two or three days. Short inspections do not serve the function of full inspections will we believe that they are important in highlighting issues of concern and in identifying areas of progress, innovation and achievement in the treatment of prisoners. There are not intended to cover every aspect of the function of the prison. Four inspectors, Mr Geoff Hughes, Mr Peter Titley, Ms Joss Crosbie and Mrs Marjorie Simonds-Gooding carried out an unannounced short inspection of HM Prison Exeter between the 4 and 6 September 2001. The inspection’s main purpose was to review progress on recommendations made after the last inspection in May 1999. The team also monitored the treatment of prisoners using the model of the healthy prison described in Chapter Seven of ‘Suicide is Everyone’s Concern’ which was published by HM Inspectorate of Prisons in 1999.
