What the Butler saw

I've been meaning to post this for a few days but have been distracted by NOMS-related stuff. Recently the Butler Trust announced its list of award winners for 2007; their names can be found here, and well done to them all.

The Butler Trust, for those who don't know, was set up more than 20 years ago in memory of 'Rab' Butler, to recognise and promote positive, creative work going on in British prisons (I can't help thinking that the Howard, Blunkett or Reid Trusts might have a different flavour). Annual Awards have been given for some time to acknowledge particularly dedicated work by prison staff, and in 2005 this was extended to probation staff.
