Inside Time is the national newspaper for prisoners and detainees distributed throughout the prison estate of the United Kingdom including Immigration Removal Centres and special hospitals. Founded by Eric McGraw , [5] in December the first issue of Time later to become Inside Time was distributed to all prisons and young offender institutions in the United Kingdom. Ironically, the inspiration for a national newspaper for prisoners came from the Woolf Inquiry into the Strangeways Prison riot that erupted in April Both Lord Woolf and the late Judge Sir Stephen Tumin concluded that prisoners had inadequate opportunities to air their grievances. Today, Inside Time is published monthly, with 56 pages and receives some 10, items of communication each year from prisoners, detainees and patients in special hospitals and their families.

When the first edition of Inside Time, the monthly newspaper for prisoners, was banned by a prison governor, it gained instant credibility. Here at last was an irreverent publication - a paper that gave prisoners a voice. The idea of a paper that would discuss offenders' complaints and fears was mooted in the wake of the Strangeways riots - 25 days of rooftop protests at overcrowding and squalid conditions at the Manchester prison. Such a paper was seen as a way of relieving tension inside Britain's simmering jails. An approach was made to Eric McGraw, then director of the New Bridge Foundation a charity that social reformer Lord Longford co-founded in to create links between prisoners and the community , and Inside Time was born. An earlier attempt to set up the paper had faltered because it was seen as being too close to the system, says John Roberts, operations director of Inside Time. From the beginning, neutrality and authenticity were central to Inside Time's ethos, says John Bowers, the paper's commissioning editor who has himself spent 15 years in prison. Charles Hanson, serving a life sentence for murder, says: "We are the ones who are experiencing it. We need to hear what prisoners are saying. Paul Sullivan, a long-time reader and contributor, says the paper plays an important role in informing prisoners about their rights.
