The Home Office plans to launch online virtual tours with a new Internet service: Prisons Online. Experience the terror of incarceration, the demeaning daily grind and the thrill of release from a UK prison. The interactive service is intended to be educational, however, rather than entertaining and should help those facing prison and their families find out about how to stay in touch and arrange visits as well as serving to give some idea of what one can expect on the inside. Jo Wright, Head of Criminal Justice Information Technology (CJIT) said: 'We hope all those who are involved with the prison system, both prisoners' families and prison staff, will benefit from this insight into prison life. We hope it will remove some of the commonly held misconceptions and concerns about daily prison life.' Prisons Online has been developed by CJIT in collaboration with the Prison Service, the Prison Reform Trust and Action for Prisoners Families. It will launch at www.cjsonline.org |
