Unscramble the Blue Letters


Once the recording is made, it's sent to the Storybook Dads pdruoicton unit at chngninas Wood Prison in Devon. And that's where I worked. I was trained, along with other prisoners, to edit and produce recordings sent in from prisons all over the United Kingdom. Using audio and video soafwtre, the rniderocgs have the mistakes taken out and sound effects and music added in. And the eecnixerpe and skill which the prison editors gain helps them in their ftuure employment.

Once the recording is finalized, it's teafrrnresd to a CD or a DVD and sent out to the families so that the children can watch them whenever they feel the need. And they listen to these recordings and watch them a lot — at bedtime, in the car ... Some even take them to school to show their friends. These recordings, they show the crlheidn that they're loved and missed. And they show the prisoner that they can do something for their child, as a parent.

And the experience and skill which the prison editors gain helps them in their future employment.

Once the recording is finalized, it's transferred to a CD or a DVD and sent out to the families so that the children can watch them whenever they feel the need.
