Monday 7th March, 200511.30am- Visit To HMP Long Lartin, South Littleton, Evesham.
One of the most fascinating visits Wendy and I have had since becoming Mayor. We were met by the Governor and spoke with him for some 30 minutes. We were then joined by visitors from the Mexican Prison authorities, for a very frank question and answer session with the Governor and senior prison management team. There followed a tour of the wings, cells, cooking and cleaning, sanitary and recreational facilities, workshops, central control and the grounds. As the saying goes, we were all counted in and we were all counted out. After a very nice buffet lunch we left at 3pm ish. I do not want to go back!
Understandably there are no photographs of this visit. However you can read more about Long Lartin Prison by clicking here:-
