To
promote
prisoners’
commumty
links
and
family
ties,
the
Howard
League
convened
a
series
of
workshops
at
ten
prisons
to
allow
a
practical
exchange
of
ideas
on
positive
change
and
best
practice.
Families
Matter
(January
1994)
describes
schemes
in
action
in
a
minority
of
prisons
across
the
country,
covering
five
main
areas:
Links
with
Children
(including
the
well
regarded
Whitemoor
children’s
visits
scheme);
Foreign
Nationals
link
schemes
such
as
the
special
facilities
at
Styal,
The
Verne,
Highpoint
and
Cookham
Wood;
Facilities
for
Visitors;
Home
Leave
and
Town
Visits;
Media
m
Prisons
(such
as
in-cell

at
The
Mount
and
journalists’
visits
to

The
report
summarises
the
discussion
at
the
workshops
and
supplies
principles
and
signposts
for
future
initiatives.
