Oakland Prison is the Biggest
in the UK.

A Category C prison
in Featherstone,
Staffordshire, England.


Was debated on Ch5HD AM Live

I can see the value
in using that supermarket
helping inmates improve.








They will have to work hard to earn some money
to buy top ice cream

[HMP Oakwood inmates go to Iceland as supermarket
opens first in-prison store.
Inmates can stock up on Chicago Town pizzas
and Ben & Jerry's ice cream at Britain's first
'in-prison' Iceland branch.
The supermarket opened at HMP Oakwood
last month to help inmates adjust
to the outside world when they
are released.]

[The branch gives prisoners the chance
to use Monopoly-style money to stock
up on groceries, including branded products
like Chicago Town pizzas and Ben & Jerry's ice cream
that are unavailable on the prison wings,
The Times reported]

They could educate anyone due to leave by providing a wide range of videos illustrating all aspects of modern life .. far safer and more effective way imho

Iceland employ alot of ex prisoners so I guess this makes sense? A stepping stone if you will
