Lancaster Farms Young Offenders Institution - ROTL

In 2005 Litfest began work on a project with staff and inmates from the Lancaster Farms Young Offenders Institute to investigate and explore the Release On Temporary Licence (ROTL) scheme. This scheme allows prisoners to leave prison temporarily for either compassionate reasons or to help them improve their chances of resettlement after their release.

This Litfest project promoted the benefits of the ROTL scheme to a wider audience within the prison service, and lead to the creation of a comic book, postcards and banners, aimed at generating interest among prison staff and inmates.
