Remembering our much-missed patron today.
We are deeply saddened by the death of Dr Benjamin Zephaniah, beloved patron of The Prison Phoenix Trust for 23 years. He will be missed by all those in prison whose lives continue to be touched by his words. Our heartfelt thoughts and sympathy go to his family and all who mourn.
