Hide AdBoard chair Geoffrey Archer said: ‘Many people drive south from Arundel, past the entrance to Ford prison, and wonder what it’s like inside.
“This is a chance to find out and to learn about the rehabilitation work that goes on there.
“The job of a prison monitor is interesting and varied. Members of our welcoming and enthusiastic team come from a wide variety of professional backgrounds.”
HMP Ford houses more than 500 men who are all in the last stage of their sentences.
