Members of the community living in Princetown within Dartmoor National Park are being invited to use the new POA learning centre at HMP Dartmoor, formally opended as 'The Don Wood Learning Centre' upon 7th July 2010 by POA National Chair Colin Moses.
Speaking at the launch of the £43,000 facility outside the walls of the 19th Century gaol, centre manager Andy Harding said: 'This is an isolated community up here on the moor and if people want to go to college they have to travel either 15 miles to Plymouth or 10 miles to Tavistock.
'By opening our centre for local people we're giving them a place on their doorstep with no travelling required. We've already had one person coming along and we hope many more will follow.'
Colin Moses, National Chairman of the Prison Officers Association (POA), added: 'We're delighted to share this facility with the local community in partnership with the prison Governor because prisons are part of the community - not just places with walls round, people on one side, prisoners on the other.'
Primarily, though, the centre will be used by prison staff and their families.
