ST Benedict's High School pupils got a taste of life behind bars on Thursday as part of a Crime and Safety Awareness Day.

The Prison! Me! No Way! Team from Her Majesty's Young Offenders Institution and Remand Centre took a full-size mock up prison cell to the school.

Their aim is to deter youngsters from turning to crime by dispelling some of the myths and misconceptions of imprisonment and show the ultimate consequences of crime.

The team were accompanied by the Warwickshire Police Astra Team, the county fire and rescue team as well as police, magistrates and the Onley Remand Centre's drug team.
