Jailhouse rockeryTWO inmates, Ray Simmonsand Adrian Day, both 42, have won a top prize for their prison garden - beating officers from a local police station. The team won first prize for the “best garden at a public building” in the annual ‘Wales in Bloom contest’ - beating officers from Usk police station in Gwent into second place. Contest judges needed visitor passes to get inside. Ray, serving 12 months for threats to kill, said: “It made a nice change from sewing mail bags.” And Adrian, jailed for twoand- a-half years for violence offences, said: “I might take up gardening when I’m out next month.” Duty governor David Richards said: “We are all delighted. The displays give all the staff a lift when they come to work as well as the prisoners.” |
