Grief Support in Prisons: HMP Edinburgh's Pioneering Program

Reverend Douglas Creightons innovative grief support program at HMP Edinburgh, launched in 2023, is transforming prison life. The Waterfall Cafe provides a safe space for inmates and families to process loss, reducing violence and drug use. With staff bereavement training and compassionate death notification handling, the program has earned the first Bereavement Mark Charter for a UK prison. Its success is paving the way for expansion to other jails, potentially easing prison strains and fostering steadier inmates upon release.
