Durham University to launch Europe's first prison exchange programme Durham will be the first university in Europe to deliver criminology classes inside prisons - based on the US Inside-Out programme - to both students and offenders from today, 29 October 2014. As part of a new educational opportunity, the classes will take place inside HMP Durham and HMP Frankland, high category prisons in Durham. Criminology students in the School of Applied Social Sciences at Durham University will join together with equal numbers of offenders currently serving custodial sentences as co-students to study a 10-week long course in criminal justice. They will cover areas such as whether prison works, the causes of crime and the criminalisation of drugs.
