Clare Allen, who works as a prison custody officer at the jail, which is privately run by Sudexo, said: “Working at HMP/YOI Peterborough can be a challenging but enjoyable experience, with lots of support available for staff and residents alike. Helping residents overcome the issues that have led them to prison is very rewarding, especially when you can help to stop the circle of reoffending.”

Staff at the prison also support charities, by tutoring residents to produce items for sale raising much needed funds for local charities, including Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall and Hope into Action.
