Teaching Real Life Skills to People on the Inside

Criminon United Kingdom provides complimentary educational courses to help inmates make positive choices and formulate plans for the future. Here are some of the wins and successes people have had doing these correspondence courses:
Personal Integrity Course:
I found this course informative, well set out and easy to follow. I learned different things along the way, which I can utilise in the future. Credit to Criminon for putting this course together for the benefit of others. Thank you!
W. P., HMP Ashfield
I would like to thank my tutor also the Criminon team for all the help and support they have provided me with as this course has gave me a way better view of things and can make me make better decisions and choices in life. Thank you.
L. M., HMP Whitemoor
Understanding and Overcoming Addiction Course:
Throughout the modules of this course, I have learned something from each one. I feel confident in talking more freely with people who have, or have had addiction problems. I feel confident that I could help people through addiction and rehabilitation thereafter, with an elevated level of knowledge and understanding.
D. W., HMP The Verne
I have enjoyed taking part in this course. It has opened my eyes to what people go through while coming off drugs or other addictions. I hope that what I have learned on this course, I can take with me upon release from prison and help those who want to be helped.
C. S., HMP Rye Hill
The Way to Happiness Course
“Compassion, self-control and tolerance have been high on my list and I feel now this course has enveloped me and I feel in a much more positive place.”
By walking through this course for the last several months, it is clear to myself that I have been overlooking myself and others! Going through the list of virtues has been in some cases overwhelming for me and has made me re-evaluate myself and life to look forward to making a more committed outlook on my way forward. Compassion, self-control and tolerance have been high on my list and I feel now this course has enveloped me and I feel in a much more positive place.
G. W., HMP Swaleside
It really makes you think and took me back to some child hood times and it shows how far I’ve come and where and what I want to be on release like crime free and to treat everyone with respect and myself and know myself worth.
A. B., HMP Stocken
Taking part in this course has enabled me to think more about the actions that affect myself daily and also those around me. Being able to think more, I’m certain I’ll be able to make better decisions and live a better life. Distance learning is challenging but a worthwhile experience. A great course to get me warmed up for going on to study with the Open University.
N. B., HMP Leyhill
This course has benefited me in a couple of different ways. Firstly, it has been insightful and helpful. Due to this, I have decided to do further distance learning using ‘The Open University’. Secondly, it has taught me not only how to respect myself but others as well.
