On Wednesday 23^rd November, National 4/5 Modern Studies students went on a trip to visit Peterhead Prison Museum.  The trip was organised to support the pupils understanding of custodial sentencing, which is a topic within the unit called Crime and the Law.  The pupils learned about conditions found in prisons, the types of crimes committed by inmates, rehabilitation programs in prisons, how prisons can help to deter criminals and many of the problems and successes of custodial sentencing, as well as why, sometimes, non-custodial sentences may be more appropriate or effective.
