Prison Service Journal: 248

This issue focuses on Learning Together, which was started in 2015 by Dr Ruth Armstrong and Dr Amy Ludlow, both based at University of Cambridge.

It is also the first opportunity Prison Service Journal has had to pay tribute to Saskia Jones and Jack Merritt, who lost their lives in the attack at Fishmongers’ Hall in London on 29 November 2019.
