It was announced yesterday that the Clink restaurant cannot have its lease renewed. The world-renowned fine dining establishment situated by Cardiff prison ha been the flagship of the programme of rehabilitation of offenders through training in cuisine. Yesterday's report indicates that the programme will continue, but its most visible symbol of success will be lost.
Westminster is responsible for prisons policy. The new prime minister once signed up to a progressive justice system as a young Liberal Democrat. She has already taken a step in thee right direction with the scrapping of her predecessor's plan to limit UK citizens' rights under the European Convention. Will she intervene to find a way to replace Clink?
