Story
Prisoners are potential assets to society. Philosophy talks will inspire them to think more deeply and creatively and be aware that issues they might think are unique to them have actually preoccupied individuals for thousands of years.
Right now inmates are just left to rot in their cells sometimes for up to 23 hrs a day. How does this benefit them or society?
The aim is to encourage people to take better ownership of their thoughts and to make better life decisions.
Otherwise people leave prison with false thinking and filled with even more hatred of a system that has ignored them.
The funds will help me to become accredited, help me with a simple office set-up and mean I can trial the project in local prisons first. (I already hold a first degree in politics and social science).

I am Cranni van Vessem a singer songwriter from Sheffield. I am a former police officer and also a former prisoner. In prison I realised many were in torment because no one in the system seemed to care or offer stimulation or solutions for them.
