Wednesday 28th June at 7.30pm: Dr Lindsay Whetter, who has done extensive work in prisons and who completed an ethnographic PhD on ‘Faith in the Prisons’ at the University of Exeter, will be taking an “inside look” on life and faith in English jails.

Dr Whetter spends time in prison as a researcher, a facilitator and a Christian – listening to people’s stories and ‘walking alongside’. Having begun her career working with children and young people behind bars, she is driven by a passion and commitment to helping empower those who have become embroiled in the criminal justice system to realise their true value and potential. She will share some of her experiences in prisons in order to shed light on the UK’s prisons crisis and to offer insights into where hope can be found.

Everyone, of any faith or none, is warmly welcomed to the St Michael’s Lectures and admission is FREE (with a voluntary retiring collection).

They are followed by discussion and light refreshments, and are held in St. Michael’s Church.  For further information, or to discuss disabled access, contact the Lectures’ team at stmichaelslectures@outlook.com  or  dnb201@exeter.ac.uk
