Youths who mobbed Shrewsbury Prison staff apologise after police visit
Some of the youngsters who mobbed staff at a visitor attraction as they tried to lock up have now apologised, according to police.
The incident took place at Shrewsbury Prison earlier this month.
At the time Joel Campbell, CEO of The Cove Group which runs Shrewsbury Prison, offered the chance for the youngsters involved to take part in an education programme at the venue.
The 'Education Behind Bars' programme is designed to provide a constructive path for young people showing signs of criminal behaviour.
Ten or more youths – some hooded and some wearing face coverings – were involved in the incident – running into the facility as workers opened the gates to leave the premises at the end of the day.
