KeepOut programmes at HMP Lewes

The professionally developed programmes we offer are aimed at young people – low, medium or high risk – who are already engaged in a programme of intervention or prevention. The visit to the prison and the KeepOut workshops should be part of a planned programme of learning – we give priority to these groups.

Low Risk – One-off Intervention
These young people will either be involved in committing crime or have been identified as being at risk of becoming involved in criminal activity.

• This one-off intervention focuses them on personal responsibility; consequences and victim empathy.

• The young people learn from prisoners about the effect of their behaviour on others and the penalties they face if they decide to be involved in anti-social or offending activities.

• Young people will experience a broad range of delivery methods including group discussions, role play, prisoner testimonials, personal feedback, interactive games and exercises.
