Memorandum submitted by Gerald Cooper
Will you please note the obstructive nature
of prison staff? Many officers have said to me "Why should
you get education in prison? My children cannot get a good education
so why should you?" also "I have not got higher qualifications
so why should you get them? I have not committed a crime and you
have, you should get nothing!"
I knew three men in HMP Wayland who fought to
do `A' levels. A week before their exams they were moved to another
prison in a deliberate attempt, I believe, to undermine their
efforts. We prisoners need protection from such action.
