Adam Aspinall reported on an initiative to help prisoners build careers once they have finished serving their time:

• Award-winning chef Alberto Crisci is opening a restaurant inside of a Welsh prison in Cardiff.
• All of the food at the restaurant will be cooked and served by inmates.
• Only those with between six and 18 months left on their sentence will be allowed to work in the restaurant. No sex or substance abusers allowed.
• Inmates will be paid £14 an hour, and are expected to work 40 hours a week.
• The idea is to help the inmates build culinary skills that will allow them to find top jobs in hotels and restaurants, hopefully keeping them away from crime.
