🐄 Here at HMP Prescoed & Cilwrgi Farm, prisoners work together daily in our fully functioning dairy operation, gaining valuable life & employable skills. To learn more on how this creates a path to rehabilitation for prisoners, read @ConversationUK ow.ly/izPW50UbVN1 🚜

Speaking on @BBCRadioWales' Country Focus programme, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Psychology, Dr Libby Payne outlines how her research at @HMPPrescoed suggests working with dairy cows could help with rehabilitation and reduce reoffending amongst prisoners. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #ArmisticeDay #Remembrance

Bu i’r Ysgrifennydd Parhaol @AntoniaRomeoUK a Chyfarwyddwr Cyffredinol HMPPS @CEOHMPPS ymweld â Fferm Cilgwri yn @HMPPrescoed yn ddiweddar. Mae gan y fferm system godro robotig newydd ac mae carcharorion yn dysgu sut i weithredu’r peiriannau a datblygu sgiliau ar gyfer swyddi.

Permanent Secretary @AntoniaRomeoUK and HMPPS Director General @CEOHMPPS recently visited Cilwgri Farm @HMPPrescoed. 🐄 The farm has a new robotic milking system and prisoners are taught how to operate this machinery, giving them valuable skills for jobs on release.

We know the importance of visiting a loved one in prison, it helps to strengthen and maintain a bond which is vital for reducing reoffending. We want to ensure you have a smooth visit, so check out these reminders and visit our page for more information⬇️ gov.uk/guidance/presc…

🌿Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do at @HMPPrescoed We have recently opened a new work boot sterilising unit and have linked up with @HMPSwansea and @HMPCardiff to save on average £18 per pair of boots cleaning and sterilising old pairs to be used again🥾

🐮 We’re udderly inspired by Cilwgri Farm in @HMPPrescoed. Prisoners are learning to use an advanced robotic system that allows cows to volunteer to be milked. This approach provides prisoners with agricultural qualifications and better job prospects after release.

@HSGwent @LLGwent @highsheriffs @HMPUsk @GwentPCC @gwentpolice Sir, on behalf of all of us at HMP Usk & Prescoed thank you for attending.

We recently gathered to honour outstanding service at the HMP Usk and Prescoed awards ceremony. Prison officers' dedication and commitment to maintaining safety and facilitating rehabilitation deserve our appreciation. Thank you for your efforts in keeping our communities secure.
