Blackburn And Liverpool’s Mobile Jail Catches Lucky Children

by | 3rd, August 2010

IN Shadsworth, Blackburn, children be given respite from the relentless grind of life in the area by being offer 30 minutes in a mobile jail run by ex-cons who have made careers out of being ex-cons.

The “prison cell on wheels” is housed in an 18-tonne lorry. The cell measures 8ft by 12ft. There is a clean bed, a bedside toilet (the stuff of dream of any teenage pisshead) and iron bars. It will show schoolchildren just how better life can be if they aim for it and work hard in their studies.

The mobile jail of hope has already been trilled in the Anfield (pictured) and Bootle areas of Liverpool.

Says one local mum:

“It’ll only spoil ’em.”
