This year's Elton Trophy award for best performing prison workshop has been presented to the Braille Workshop at HMP Full Sutton.
The unit has been in place since 1997 and has over 50 regular customers. The judges found a highly skilled workshop producing high quality Braille transcripts in large quantities.
Officer Instructor Colin Davis, who works in the unit with colleague John Arnison, said:
"It feels fantastic. I've been in the job 24 years and this has really put the cap on it. I'll be going semi-retired in about 20 months and this will be the crown in my career, it's fantastic."
The Elton Trophy is an annual competition and works to improve productivity, workshop hours, quality and delivery from prison industry workshops.
