hand-made, quality, commercial product

Made in HMP Huntercombe by offenders working towards a new future.

New skills and purpose in the prison workshop

We are committed to providing meaningful activity for prisoners and teaching them new skills.

Engaging prisoners in skilled crafts and creative, purposeful work improves their mental wellbeing. Learning helps people to gain confidence, prepare for release and pass the time. Working in small teams, on tasks, in a creative atmosphere also offers the men a safe space to reflect and look ahead to their future.

our conviktions!

eco-friendly up cycling

Most of our products are made from up-cycling donated materials such as old curtains, upholstery swatch books, clothing factory off-cuts, pallet wood and leather scraps.

We also use natural European hemp fabric and certified organic cotton material for some customers.

We source and supply locally to keep the environmental impact of our production low, and we keep packaging to a minimum and plastic free as possible.

teaching crafts and business sense

We teach sewing, machine embroidery, leather and paper crafts to prisoners who want to learn.

Making commercial products also helps to develop business skills such as product development, costing, pricing, and merchandising.

Any revenue from product sales is used by the workshop for maintenance and to purchase new equipment and to recognize the prisoners contribution.

We hope to inspire other prison workshops to use the Conviktion brand to promote their quality commercial products.

a unique selling point

We can design customised product with very small production runs which is very helpful to small organisations. The donated materials make our product eye-catching and unique.
