TWO inmates, Ray Simmons
and 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.” |
