Bullingdon Prison is supported by providing over 1000 Christmas cards each year, so that each prisoner is given one. This may be the only Christmas card that a prisoner receives. This initiative was started by John Richards, who was a Church Army Officer as well as a Mothers’ Union member. Also Mothering Sunday cards are given to the younger prisoners so they can send a card to their mothers on this special day.
