Prison: Hope, Family, Resilience | Corin Morgan-Armstrong | TEDxNantymoel

Having worked within the field of rehabilitation for the last 26 years, during the last 16 years Corin has created a specific model that has at its heart the engagement of people in prison with their children and families, for the purposes of rehabilitation, derailing intergenerational crime, and re-building community inclusion.

This powerful talk is based on the incredible personal changes Corin has seen people make in prison and in the community over the last 26 years, and how he has tried to make sense of what at times can seem so unexpected and unlikely… it appears to be magical! The talk focuses on why and how prison impacts the whole family, but also how family can also be the most significant part of sustained personal change. Corin has worked within the field of rehabilitation for the last 26 years, starting as a prison officer at HMP Parc in 1997. During the last 16 years, Corin ((https://www.linkedin.com/in/corin-morgan-armstrong-82625b38/) has created a model that has at its heart the engagement of people in prison with their children and families, for the purposes of rehabilitation and re-building community inclusion. Corin set up the Family Interventions Unit in 2010 and an Interventions Led Visits model at G4S managed HMP Parc. Corin designed the Invisible Walls Wales family mentoring service, initially lottery funded in 2012 and currently evolving into a Community Interest Company.

In 2015, Corin's team achieved the Investors In Families charter mark, normally the reserve of schools. Parc was the first prison in the EU to hold this award. In 2016 the HM Inspection report on HMP Parc stated the family model at Parc was ‘innovative and radical, and probably the best they had seen in any prison.’ This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
