RORY AND HRH PRINCE CHARLES TOUR HMP DARTMOOR

On Friday 23 March, Rory welcomed HRH the Prince of Wales to HMP Dartmoor in his capacity as Ministers for Prisons. Rory and The Prince toured the prison before watching a special performance by the Prison Choir Project, which performed songs from popular musicals, including Les Misérables. This musical initiative has engaged with over 400 prisoners and prison staff, and has even staged an opera in Dartmoor.

On their tour of the prison, Rory and The Prince of Wales also spoke to staff and inmates, including some involved in the prison’s garden project.

Commenting on the Prince’s visit, Rory said “It was a great privilege to have HRH The Prince of Wales visit HMP Dartmoor and to have him spend so much time listening to the staff and prisoners who all immensely enjoyed the experience. I was really pleased to meet the inspirational leadership team that runs the prison and I was privileged to see the deeply moving contribution of the HMP Dartmoor choir. I hope to return again in due course”.
