I then interviewed family members who have a relative in prison and support workers and did my thesis on the effect of family relationships on desistance from crime in prisoners. After graduating I applied to become a prison officer at HMP Addiewell and I&#8217;ve been working on a residential wing ever since! I work with lifers and long-term prisoners who are in for a range of offences from drug dealing, armed robbery, serious assault and murder. It&#8217;s a very stressful job at times but I love the range of people you get to meet and it isn&#8217;t something I thought I&#8217;d be doing so it has proven to me I can do something out of my comfort zone! After covid-19 I will be moving to the Integrated Case Management team to work with offenders 1:1 on what help they need whilst in prison to progress through their sentence. I am looking forward to this but have to get through covid safely first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduated BSc (Hons) Psychology 2014 and MSc Applied Criminology and Forensic Psychology 2017.
