Young people find life behind bars ain't so sweet

10 October 2008

Young men from Blackburn with Darwen got a chance to sample life behind bars – if only for a few minutes – when Prison Officers from Lancaster Farms and other Young Offenders Institutions demonstrated a mobile prison cell at Blackburn Connexions Centre as part of Blackburn with Darwen’s Stay Safe Week (4-11 October 2008).

The week was organised by the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board (LSCB) to help spread the word that keeping young people safe is everyone’s business.
