Join Us for Prisoners’ Week 2024

🗓 Date 22nd November 24 10-5pm 


Location: Beacon Arts Centre Custom house quay, Greenock


Each year, Prisoners’ Week brings us together to remember, support, and uplift the lives affected by imprisonment—both those inside and their families and loved ones.


This year’s theme is, “Hear My Voice,”

“We live our lives surrounded by the voices of those trying to get our attention but how do we give voice to those unheard”?


This year ‘IFiT’, in partnership with ‘Your-Voice’ and ‘The Beacon Arts Centre’ will be inviting you to hear the voices of those affected by, or working with those in the justice system. There will be an opportunity to speak with staff, volunteers and people with lived experience and engage with organisations involved in the justice system.


We look forward to welcoming you to our special event

What to Expect:

  • Panel Discussions: Hear from former prisoners, families, counsellors, and advocates about the journey of reintegration.
  • Storytelling & Testimonies: Powerful, personal stories shared by those who have lived through the system.
  • Prisoner art gallery: View prisoners art work, expressing their creativity within the care of the prison
  • Entertainment: Come along and enjoy music and performances from past prisoners and the recovery community
