Charities and businesses have been asked to come forward with ‘meaningful’ work projects to help rehabilitate inmates at the Island’s prison.

Home affairs chiefs are focusing on providing jobs that can be undertaken within the prison walls.
Deputy Prison Governor, Nigel Fisher, says all prisoners would be risk assessed and supervised.
