A prison governor with a passion for exercise and sport in Shropshire, explains how he has used his own interests and skillset throughout his career to help rehabilitate prisoners in his local prison, on National Fitness Day.
Mark Greenhaf, alongside other hard-working prison staff, is playing a crucial role in supporting the prison system through challenging times, with prisons until recently close to full. Staff will play a key role in rebuilding the prison system so that it is more effective at cutting reoffending rates among those leaving prison.
He says: “Before becoming a governor, I was a PEI for 14 years helping prisoners to stay fit and healthy. I saw first-hand the impact it had on their mental health and self-esteem. “Now that I’m a Governor, I spend less time with the prisoners day-to-day, but I still understand the important role fitness plays in the overall wellbeing of prisoners and ensuring the prison is a safe place to work and live.”
