I was just looking at the web page for High Down Prison (http://www.justice.gov.uk/contacts/prison-finder/high-down/regime) when I noticed this:
'The Clink':
The restaurant opened in 2009, it provides a more varied training programme for up to 28 prisoners and includes Food Service NVQ Level 2 as well as a diploma in professional cookery and also encourages the employment of ex-offenders into the hospitality industry. The Clink also offers prisoners mentoring upon release and this includes support with employment and accommodation. The re offending rate for 2012 for Clink graduates was down to 5% against a national average of 47% within the first year.
The Clink is a multi award winning restaurant and in 2010 won a coveted Catey award for training and also won the Longford prize in 2011.
We are currently the holders of Best Overall Restaurant In Time & Leisure Magazine.
I saw this and it reminded me of Belkar's comment in the first panel of 733 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0733.html).
