Visit to HMP Pentonville

Today I attended the official opening by His Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Prisons Charlie Taylor of the XO Bikes Training Workshop at HMP Pentonville. XO Bikes hires and trains prison leavers to refurbish donated bikes with all profits going towards training more mechanics, with 30 – 40 prisoners a year expected to attend the workshops and attain certification. What a great idea and a fantastic charity!
