The Guardian today has published an article celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Prisoners Advice Service. Eric Allison writes that PAS is as much in demand as ever to make sure justice is done. Pete Weatherby of GCN is quoted in the article about recent work he has done with PAS (Manrai).
Extract from the article as follows:
