Beltrami & Company are proud to sponsor 'Hidden Voices'

Beltrami and Company is proud to support the Barlinnie Blogs section of Hidden Voices by First Time Inside.

First Time Inside exists to assist and support those who face going to prison for the first time. Through consultations and support sessions with former prisoners, they provide guidance and insight into what first-time prisoners can expect from the moment they are taken down the steps to be transferred to prison.ce.

The Hidden Voices feature of First Time Inside was created to offer those who have experienced or are currently experiencing life within the justice system in Scotland a platform to share their thoughts, stories and personal opinions on their journey to date. The style of writing or presenting those stories, verses or other pieces of work are unique to each individual.

The "Boys From the Bar-L" blogs are linked to below, and contain a selection of poems, letters and thoughts from those serving time:
