An open letter and 'Greetings brothers/comrades' (or whatever). 
I send you fraternal greetings and I've just read Charles Dickens and isn't it just dreadful the conditions you all have to live under in the lands of the running dogs capitalist system! I'm outraged and I've ordered everyone else to be outraged as well; in fact I've ordered a free popular workers demonstration in the streets to protest your conditions and I was going to send you (freepost) a food parcel of rice as a gift from the people, but unfortunately the greedy sods have eaten it already and I can't find anymore. Never mind, let's just pretend I sent it and you can pretend you enjoyed it. You better you capitalist scum or I'll Sorry, typo error, don't worry about it, I'll have the typist shot, no problem. (Can't get the staff nowadays). 
The 'clink project' is a capitalist lie. I know because we do the same thing here. We read a menu, the masses pretend to swallow and are then charged full price for the meal! As they haven't any money they have to work on Sundays for free to pay for it. I get to keep compulsory tips, 10% extra, but don't tell anyone will you, it's our little secret. Don't you just starve your lot to death? It's a lot cheaper, but hey, you know, democracy brothers, do your own thing.
By the way, if any of you know that nasty capitalist pig Cameron, can you ask him where my foreign aid is? It's just that I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment, (that new Rolls Royce has wiped me out - you wouldn't believe what they charge . . . !) and I'm having to reduce the workers rations still further and the buggers are starting to die like flies. The menu thing isn't working as they've started to eat the paper and that's extra expense having to print more, out of my pocket as well!
Yours. The Dear (simply gorgeous) leader. The Marmite il sung workers Party Central Commitee. (I named it after myself, good idea eh? I said GOOD IDEA EH)? Yeah! Don't let me hear you laughing you running dog reactionaries, you better believe it)!

And so the revolution continues, onwards brother AndyH and fellow comrade into the glorious red future, (me leading you of course). 
Yes, I suppose I could tell you the menu from years ago, but perhaps it would only induce people to talk of how much progress there's been. This project must be good if it provides post release work, but I sense a one off gimmik? However, prison is now a lifestyle for many and in that respect it's anything but progress. I'm not totally correlating prison conditions with regimes, except to say that there wasn't anything like the recidivism then or prison numbers. Somewhere along the way prison lost it's purpose and one of those purposes was the deterrent effect in the punishment model.
