Former shipbroker James Tweed’s career took a huge pivot when he found himself studying the impact of isolation on the prison population.
Now his company, Coracle, provides non-networked laptops to 90% of the prison estate. This is giving people access to skills, knowledge and experience that will allow them to make a positive contribution to society when they leave prison. In 2023, they won the King’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of their work.
I wanted to find out more about the man behind this mission – just what was it about James’s own values that inspired him to solve the problem he saw in his prison studies?
