Our flags fly at half mast today as we honour a colleague who died this week. We lower only @hmpps flags to signal she was one of us. Today has been full of stories of how she inspired those she worked with. Thank you for your service. We will miss you. #RIP #honour #HiddenHeroes

- A corona day inside.... Each day is a fine balance. The good news is: I’ve never seen our men clean so hard. Pre-covid, this was meant to be week 4 of our #BigWingCleanUp. Needless to say / most wings are gleaming. We had one incident today, but the jail has been fairly settled.
- Growing our Woodhill team as ‘family’ means setting out values in clear, accessible language. These came together out of 2 years of conversations, understanding our individual values first. Now we have them articulated on every wall to help steer the road ahead. #ThisIsWhoWeAre
