"Inmates at a Yorkshire prison are being given the chance to read bedtime stories to their children in the hope it reduces reoffending, but can this fairytale really have a happy ending? he recording suite is no bigger than the size of a broom cupboard, but for some of the inmates at Wolds Prison it's a lifeline to the outside world. Prisoners at the East Yorkshire jail are being given the chance to read their children bedtime stories and while hardliners will no doubt begin mumbling about the crumbling cornerstones of British justice, there is more to the scheme than just allowing convicted criminals to while away a few hours each week recording stories on to CDs, adding sound effects and removing any unwanted noise. The project is about getting prisoners to connect with their children and, perhaps more controversially, about reducing the number of repeat offenders."
