THREAD: It's #prisonersweek in Scotland, so here's a thread on #howprisonsilences people in prison and why that's a problem for rehabilitation and democracy. To make it easy, each silencing mechanism begins with a 'D'.

Upside Community Workers recently visited HMP Grampian to attend their Throughcare Open Day, part of Prisoners' Week.

A great chance to share what we do and connect with colleagues in housing, recovery, peer support, and family services! #throughcare #prisonersweek #HMPGrampian

The Upside team were delighted to be invited along to the launch event for Prisoners Week Scotland, held at Lethan St Marks in Perth. The marketplace was a fantastic opportunity to meet with other service providers and promote the work of Upside.
