This festive video from HMPSS features a special Christmas performance from the HMP Maidstone Jammers choir.

“Last month, one of our singers who participated in our Restart programme, Jonathan, was nominated for a High Sheriff’s Award for setting up Inside Job in HMP Birmingham. Inside Job is an in-prison recruitment consultancy that identifies work-ready and willing people who are about to be released. It launched in September with an Employment Fair.”

“The confidence that comes from performing can only lead to greater general confidence. We all suffer from being self-conscious at times, but tackling those issues can free us to explore so many other experiences in life. Joining Choir inspired me to learn to play the guitar. It’s been a life long ambition of mine, and I’ve now been playing for 4 months.”
