About this blog

People who work in prison and probation roles are responsible for protecting the public by looking after some of the most complex people in society. At the same time, they help them to rehabilitate and lead more productive, law-abiding lives.  Both are challenging yet rewarding professional careers that offer the rare chance to make a real difference to people’s lives. But the nature of their jobs mean their hard work isn’t always visible to the public.

So, this blog provides real stories from real prison officers and probation officers, telling their stories, plus recruitment advice for anyone interested in being the difference. So subscribe to this blog to keep up to date with guidance and get to know the extraordinary opportunities available.
