HMP Low Moss have received a Platinum Award - the highest possible - in recognition of their submissions to the 2025 Koestler Arts Awards.
The Awards are a way of motivating people in custody to take part in the arts, learn new skills and gain the confidence to live creative, positive and productive lives. Prizes are awarded across 50 categories of Fine Art, Craft & Design, Performance and Audio, Film & Animation and Writing.
The establishment's radio station, K.C.L Radio also received an individual Platinum Award for their conspiracy theory podcast 'The Theory Goes – Flight MH370'. Individuals in our care developed a script together then recorded and edited the episode.
Feedback from Koestler said: "This was a hugely impressive piece of radio production and would stand-up beside any short form true crime/mini podcast doc on the podcast apps. The blended use of audio, music, sound effects, presenter and interviewer voices is brilliantly executed to achieve a sense of drama and storytelling, and intrigue.”
