Liberty Kitchen is a social enterprise based at HM Prison Pentonville, London.
Its intention is to open up opportunities to the men, including qualifications and the possibility of self-employment, and thus reduce recidivism.
[6] Liberty Kitchen offers prisoners a 12-week programme leading to an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) in enterprise.
[7] The menu is centred on creative reinterpretations of meatballs, drawing on the prisoners' backgrounds for culinary ideas and London places for names.
In addition to street food, Liberty Kitchen caters for events; one company hired them for a staff lunch, describing this as a form of corporate social responsibility.
