Meetings in the Clink
Want to ensure no one leaves your meeting early? Try holding it in the Clink.
The UK’s Clink Charity will open its third prison-based restaurant in London’s HMP Brixton in February 2014.
Like its counterparts in Cardiff and Surrey, it will feature a 100-seat fine dining restaurant, where the food is cooked, and the guests waited on, by short-term prisoners.
Close to London’s City, the Brixton Clink Restaurant will feature two 24-seat meeting rooms and three others for working lunches.
There are AV facilities, plasma screens and a no-cell-phone guarantee, backed up by a prison guard.
Prospective guests must apply online and obtain security clearance in advance, then bring passports for ID.
Guards will confiscate your phones, cameras and cigarettes before walking the group across the prison yard and into the Clink.
"You would not know you’re in prison once you’re in the restaurants," the restaurant says. "It’s a training environment, but the level of service and quality of food is good as anywhere in London’s west-end."
And of course there are no steak knives.
A full meal costs £15 ($24).
The charity’s aim is to cut reoffending rates by carefully selecting, training and eventually employing prisoners nearing the last six to 18 months of their sentences.
