PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. 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.

These groups/people were sent a list of SPD objectives that had been prepared, in draft, by the Council and covered issues that the Council considered should be covered by the SPD. This was a four week consultation period which ran from 21st May to 15th June 2007.

  • Growing up on the Ranch
    GROWING UP ON THE RANCH In 1945 at the end of World War II dad was de-mobbed from the Royal Navy, he had been an aero-engine fitter on aircraft carriers. Shortly afterwards he got a job at Rolls-Royce in Barnoldswick and so, in April 1946, when I was six months old, we moved from Ashton-Under-Lyne, near Manchester, to live in Earby. We lived firstly at 22 Warwick Drive with my aunt and uncle, who like my dad had got a job at Rolls-Royce, then in a flat above a shop at 111a Colne Road, until the day came when we moved into a prefab at 16 Chesford Avenue on The Ranch. North Holme Estate(named after a nearby farmhouse), known colloquially as The Ranch, was situated at the top of a hill on Salterforth Lane, a short distance from the railway station. The estate comprised of semi-detached prefabricated (prefab) bungalows which were erected at the start of the war to house “essential workers”. The estate got its nickname from the community centre which looked like a ranch house. The community centre was a large prefabricated building, it had a bar, a small stage, snooker tables and one room at the end was a library, which on Saturdays was used as a cinema where films were shown. It was run for a long time by Phyllis and Bill Brookes whose son John tells me he used to help change the beer barrels and serve behind the bar at age twelve. PREFAB The prefabs were constructed from asbestos sheeting with a corrugated roof.

  • Memories of Colne
    MEMORIES OF COLNE By Mrs. Cryer, of Burnley (Formerly Miss Margaret Jane Ward, of Colne) in Collaboration with Mr. Willie Bell, of Burnley (Formerly of Colne) Reprinted from the “Colne and Nelson Times” March to August 1910 (Scanned with optical character recognition and reformatted by Craig Thornber, January 1998) -1- Introduction In 1910, Mrs. Cryer produced a series of articles for the “Colne and Nelson Times”, recalling her memories of Colne in the 1850’s. She had a remarkable memory and recounted the names and details of most of the town’s shop-keepers and their families. The book is a treasure trove for all those with family history interests in Colne in the middle of last century. To my delight, at the end of Chapter IV, I found mention of Miss Margaret Cragg, the sister of my great great grandfather. The book based on Mrs. Cryer’s articles is now very rare, so the opportunity has been taken to reproduce it. This version has been produced from a photocopy of the book by computer scanning, using an optical character recognition programme. Computer scanning is never completely accurate, particularly with punctuation marks, and when working from a document with low contrast. While the final version has been subjected to proof reading and computer based spelling checks, a few errors may remain, for which I am responsible. Many of the sentences and paragraphs are very long and the division into chapters is somewhat arbitrary, but the book has been reproduced as written. The numbering of chapter XIII has been corrected and a few changes have been made to the format for reasons of clarity.
