Together the 15 prisoners who have aspirations of getting a hospitality job when they are released created 250 portions of Wagamama dishes including Chicken katsu curry, yasai katsu and bang bang cauliflower.
According to Yorkshire Live, a spokesperson for Wagamama said: “[We] visited multiple prisons across the UK where we talked to men and women who are close to release about Wagamama, who we are, what we stand for and the job opportunities we have to offer, alongside the apprenticeship opportunities to build on any kitchen based education they have received from the prison.
“The session at HMP Hatfield was an open invitation to all men in the prison and proved highly successful and a blueprint for further work in this space. We believe that everyone deserves a chance but we also strongly believe in second chances. We all need to remove the blindfolds of judgement and give everyone an equal opportunity to meaningful work, and always remember, your past should never define your future.”
