Phil Wragg is the current Governor of Belmarsh Prison (our closest prison). He speaks of prison life, and is most passionate about how to cut reoffending (specifically how communities can help). We are told he is a lively speaker and will hold an interactive Q&A session after his talk. After the riots last summer his talk will be quite topical. If you would like to stay the Copers Cope Area Residents Association AGM and open meeting will follow.
We hope to see you there.
