AN event aiming to help youngsters stay away from a life of crime is being staged in Darlington on Saturday.

Visitors will also be given a glimpse of what it is like to be in prison, through presentations given by Darlington Youth Offending Service.

The event, from 10am to 3pm, at the Dolphin Centre, has been organised to coincide with Inside Justice Week, a national initiative aiming to give more people information on how the justice system works.
