Jail Jars
Jam that makes a difference
We’re working closely with people in prison to build life and career skills before their release.
This includes making the jam that has likely led you to this webpage! But it wouldn’t be possible without our partners…

Single Variety Co.
Single Variety Co are passionate about creating a truly delicious range of award-winning chilli jams and fruit preserves, making everything themselves in their jam factory in Bristol.
The kind folks at Single Variety Co. have been entering HMP Bristol and running jam workshops, the results of which go in to our Jail Jars. -
Arthur David
Arthur David is a family run food distribution company that have been supplying the Catering industry for over 50 years - delivering fresh fruit & vegetables, fine foods, dairy and disposable items across the south of the UK.
In an extraordinary show of generosity, they provide all of the ingredients for the jam workshops that produce Jail Jars free of charge.
“As a local company, it’s always been important to us to look for ways to give back to the Bristol community. We think that the initiative from The Key is fantastic and we’re so excited to be involved. By running jam-making workshops with prisoners, not only are we providing The Key with a unique and delicious jam to sell, we will be providing prisoners with new skills that they can carry with them on their journey out of prison”
