Alex believes that prisons, as well as prisoners, can be redeemed.
Following a very critical inspection report several years ago, Alex visited HMP Liverpool to see how it has been turned around. The prison has been transformed for the better by new cells, productive workshops and tighter security.
The major refurbishment will eventually see at least 350 more prison places become available, whilst modern workshops will help offenders gain more skills so they can secure employment on release.
