Monthly Meeting

South Lawn Hotel. Milford Road, Milford on Sea, SO41 0RF

Julia Killick, our speaker today, started her career in London Local Authority Housing working for Hillingdon, Harrow and Brent, before joining the Prison Service in 1998. 

After stints at HM Prisons at Highdown, Holloway and the Young Offenders Institution at Feltham as Head of Prisoner Care, Julia took charge of the Immigration Removal Centre Haslar, before moving to become Governor at HMP Guys Marsh in Dorset. 

In 2010 Julia returned to Holloway as Governor and with a team of 300 staff cared for 590 women. She retired in 2015 and was awarded a CBE for services to the prison service. 

Julia is now a volunteer trustee for local community charities, as well as driving the community bus, and acting as an advisor to the London Criminal Justice health network and Liberty Kitchen, a social enterprise helping prisoners into work.

She gave a fascinating talk about HM Prison Service to Lentune Ladies in October last year and returns today to give a further talk, this time about Immigration.
