Share and discuss what’s happening to you...
If you’re in custody, LockDown want to hear from you: about your experiences, good and bad. It’s a place to share and discuss what’s happening to you.
They can accept articles, poems, original artwork, jokes, puzzles – anything that you think would interest other young people. Don’t forget, when looking for schools, jobs or colleges, having an article printed in a national magazine will look good on your CV!
