Went to Punch at Young Vic last night . So much to think about. Crime & punishment, responses to both. The human cost of our current dominant vengeful approach as a society. More to say, for now thinking. Brilliant play, highly recommend. @longfordtrust.bsky.social

Longford Scholar, Will, graduated last week.
As he waited to shake hands with the Vice-Chancellor, he thought about all that had happened to him.
And how his graduation proved wrong the people who had counted him out.
You can read his blog here www.longfordtrust.org/they-say-edu...
Congratulations to our scholar, Will Pendray, who has graduated from Brighton University with a distinction in his MA in creative writing (pictured with his daughter and trust director Peter Stanford).
Poet, musician and journalist, Will has a bright and brilliant career ahead of him.

High hopes for this TV programme on prisons. If anyone avoids cliches, stereotypes and oversimplified solutions it’s presenter Jacob Dunne.
