Hi everyone. Have you read some great books in lockdown? If you are having a clear out think of us for current novels. Many prisons are locked down 23 hours due to staffing shortages so books are a good way to pass the time. Drop to Blackstone Chambers, 14 Wyndham Street, Auckland CBD! Thanks, Emma

Hi everyone! While you are in lockdown why not sort through Men’s clothing to donate to the prison. We primarily take shirts, but can also take pants, shorts ( second hand) and underwear and socks (new) now too! Thanks, Emma.

Read a great book over summer? We’d love you to donate it to the prisoners so they can enjoy it. Donate to Blackstone Chambers in the city or drop off spots in Mt Eden or Bayswater. Emma

We are thinking about funding tattoo removal for prisoners or ex prisoners. This is particularly important for those with facial gang tattoos who want to take a new path into the future. Its $50 a session and can take 10-20 sessions so for $500- $1000 a person can be given a huge opportunity at living a prosocial life. So you agree that significant facial tattoos are a real impediment to getting work? Do you think this is a worthwhile initiative? Any generous benefactors PM me!!

Long weekend coming- perhaps you could dig out a couple of great books that you could donate to the prison. Self help, crime, biographies all in hot demand. You can get them to us in Auckland City or Mt Eden. Emma

Instead of getting a digital book this summer holiday consider getting or giving a good old fashioned paperback and then passing it on to The Good Lawyer for a prisoner in the new year!

Generous donation of books (5 boxes) from a colleague Sally Morris. Looking good for Auckland prison. Emma

Delighted after 2 years fostering relationships with Auckland Prison, New Zealand’s only specialist maximum security prison, to deliver 7 boxes of books today including lots of recent fiction and women’s day/ NW mags- the librarian was so pleased to get new books as some of the maxi guys are locked down 23 hours a day. Thanks for all your support! Emma

In need of shirts for the boys. When people are arrested by the police now, they are often appearing by AVL (video link) and need a shirt to wear when they apply for bail. Research shows that people are less likely to get bail when they appear in prison issue clothing. If people have shirts, especially XL and bigger we would love them delivered to Blackstone Chambers, 14 Wyndham Street, Auckland CBD! thanks, Sue and Emma
