NEW YEAR MESSAGE - 2012
2011 has been a year during which the word “crisis” has been heard many times. We have heard of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and droughts. There have also been uprisings and insurgencies all causing pain and anguish and the prison population continues to rise at the same time as available resources are being cut thanks to that other crisis – the financial one!
