Head of the Prison Service Visits Current Affairs Society

14th Nov 2019

Mr Ronnie Armour, the Head of the NI Prison Service, was the guest speaker at the Down High Current Affairs Society on Wednesday 13 November. A-Level Sociology students from Saint Patrick's Grammar School joined the Down High pupils. Mr Armour outlined the complex and vital role that prisons perform in relation to rehabilitating prisoners. He expressed the need to treat prisoners with compassion and dignity to try to ensure that they leave custodial care as better people than when they entered the system. As ever, a number of excellent questions were asked.
