Bang banged up inmates in curry lessons

- BY NICOLA SMALL

INMATES swapped porridge for chicken katsu curry after a masterclas­s by Wagamama chefs.

The Ministry of Justice initiative gave 15 prisoners at HMP Hatfield near Doncaster, Yorks, experience in a pro kitchen.

Together with four chefs, they served 250 classics including yasai katsu and bang bang cauliflowe­r to fellow inmates.

The aim was to fuel their ambitions of working in the hospitalit­y industry once they are freed.

Wagamama will offer roles to prisoners out on licence. A spokesman said: “We strongly believe in second chances.

“We all need to give everyone an equal opportunit­y of meaningful work.

“Your past should never define your future.”
