Themed Events: Stay Safe
Posted February 20th, 2012 by dthornton with Comments Off
The third of North Notts College Themed Events took place in December and more than 500 students from throughout the College attending events held in Fluid Power Centre, the Learning Resource Centre and the Getaway.
Shaun Attwood delivered his presentation ‘Hard Time’ to students – discussing the consequences of drugs and crime recalling his own experiences in one of America’s toughest jails after using his millionaire lifestyle to fund illegal drugs activities.
Shaun documented the dreadful conditions in the jail and turned the international media spotlight on the jail when he started his blog Jon’s Jail Journal.
Shaun invited Performing Arts students Tom Hays Owens and Anna Stancil to read sections from his book ‘Hard Time’. He was also interviewed by the Worksop Guardian and BBC Radio Sheffield – posing for photographs with Catering students Abigail Batty and Ben Hunt.
Unfortunately due to illness, Shaun had to cancel his second day of presentations and was rescheduled for January to coincide with the Health themed event.
