Manx prisoners now able to record their children a bedtime story

Isle of Man Prison taking part in Storybook Dads and Mums scheme

Prisoners on the Isle of Man will now be able to record bedtime stories for their children.

The Storybook Dads and Storybook Mums scheme was started in 2002 and now operates in more than 100 prisons.

It's hoped to help parents stay connected with their children during their jail time.

Those taking part will be helped to record the story, before it's sent off and edited by a team of trained prisoners.

They will add sound effects before sending it on to the family.
