Award for helping women rebuild their lives
A PROJECT that helps women of-fenders develop and rehabilitate haswon a national award.
Eden House, based in SnowdonRoad, Fishponds, scooped thewo m e n’s category in the HowardLeague for Penal Reform CommunityProgrammes Awards.
At a celebratory open day, guestsincluded Baroness Corston, theformer Bristol East MP and author ofa report into vulnerable women inthe criminal justice system, her suc-cessor as constituency MP Kerry Mc-Carthy, local councillors and Avonand Somerset Police and Crime Com-missioner candidates.
Frances Crook, the chief executiveof the Howard League, said: “At a timewhen the Government is trying tobring about a rehabilitation revolu-tion and get ‘more for less’ out of thecriminal justice system, places likeEden House should be held up as ashining example of what can bea ch i eve d .
“It’s ten times cheaper to send awoman to Eden House than it wouldbe to send her to prison, and she’s farless likely to commit crime once shel e ave s.
“This is because they work witheach woman individually, focusing onexactly why she’s committing crime,helping her to turn over a new leaf
Eden House project for female offenders
and get her life back on track.”Keeping a woman in custody and
taking their child into care costsabout £54,400 a year.
Eden House was developed as apilot project in 2009 in response to theCorston Report, which called for aradical new way of working withfemale offenders. Women are re-ferred from a number of areas, in-cluding the probation service,prisons, the police, GPs and com-munity groups.
It helped 60 women serving com-munity sentences in 2010-11 and hasthe capacity to help 90 women at anyone time.
One of Eden House’s clients, calledLor na, could not speak highlyenough of the help she has received.
The 49-year-old from Easton wasserving a sentence for drug offencesat Eastwood Park when she was re-ferred, and has been involved withEden House for the past five months.Lorna is now training to be a clientlead and mentor, after eight monthsof being in recovery from drug ad-diction.
“It’s been an amazing experience,”she said. “If you’re given your selfworth back and given a reason to goforward in life, and a goal, you havesomething positive to work towards.One of the things I love most aboutEden House is it’s women-focussed.”
Sarah, 37, from St George, was alsoat Eastwood Park, serving athree-year, four-month sentence for
drug dealing when she heard aboutEden House.
The recovering alcoholic startedgetting support when she was re-leased on licence in June 2010 and isnow the “client lead” in the kitchen.
Having got her level two qualific-ation in food and hygiene, she hopesto work in the food industry one day.
“You may feel you are alone goingthrough something, but when youcome to Eden House you find lots ofpeople with the same or similar ex-periences to you,” she said.
“Before I came to Eden House Id i d n’t want to live, basically. My ex-periences here and the support I’vehad, have totally changed that. I stillhave my good days and bad days, butI now have the skills to makesomething of my life.”
Service manager Hannah Ma-
honey said there are a number ofadvantages of supporting offendersin the community, instead of prison.
“Understanding the impact theiroffending has on other people is a lotmore effective than someone sittingon their own in a prison cell,” shesaid.
And by supporting women throughtheir problems, developing their edu-cation and skills she says they aremore likely to move forward pos-i t ive ly.
Of the award, Hannah said: “We ’reabsolutely delighted. We’ve workedso hard over the last four years andit’s fantastic to be recognised by anational organisation that advocatescommunity sentencing and rehabil-itation. The key is working in part-nership with a range of services andorg anisations.”
