Inside Time is the only not for profit national newspapers for prisoners distributed through the UK prison estate. It was launched by the New Bridge, the national charity for prisoners, in 1990 as an eight page quarterly newspaper to provide a voice for prisoners to express their views and concerns.
In 2003 Inside Time Limited was established as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Bridge to expand and develop the publication on a not for profit basis. Today it is a very successful full colour monthly publication with up to 60 pages in each of the 46,000 plus copies of each issue being distributed free of charge throughout the prison estate.
It contains news, a letters page, a monthly column by Rachel Billington and regular contributions from former and serving prisoners such as Ben Gunn, Charles Hanson, Jonathan King, Gerard McGrath, Keith Rose and Noel 'Razor' Smith'.
Inside Time is widely used by solicitors specialising in prison law as a means of advertising.
Two further 'not for profit' publications Inside Poetry (a collection of prisoners' poems)and Inside Information a new comprehensive prisons guidebook are to be launched during 2009.
The company behind the newspaper is a wholly owned subsidiary of New Bridge, a charity working with prisoners, founded by the late Lord Longford.
