Today, the Scottish Prison Service mark the annual Hidden Heroes day; a day to recognise the essential and challenging nature of the work undertaken by prison and other criminal justice services across the UK.
Behind our prison walls are dedicated people who care deeply about helping others make positive changes. Every day, our staff show care, compassion and commitment. They build relationships, offer support, create opportunities and help people see that their lives do not have to be defined by the choices or circumstances that brought them to us.
Much of this work happens quietly and often goes unseen. Yet their actions change lives. Often, they save lives.
This is the work of hidden heroes.
On #HiddenHeroesDay, we celebrate the people who make the Scottish Prison Service what it is.
