{{for|Antoinette Perry Award|Tony Award}}
The '''Perrie Award''' has been presented annually since 1995 by the Perrie Lectures Committee to the person who has done most to promote an understanding of the work of the [Prison Service](/source/Her_Majesty's_Prison_Service) in England and Wales, and pushed forward the development of [penal policy](/source/penology).[[http://www.perrielectures.org.uk/?page_id=25 The Perrie Lectures website]] The award and the associated lectures aim to improve the care of offenders and advance penal policy.[[http://prisonspaces.com/events/the-perrie-lectures-2013/ ''The Perrie Lectures 2013''], Prison Spaces] The organising committee is made up of members from within the penal service ([NOMS](/source/NOMS) or National Offender Management Service), and from academia, charities and other fields.[[http://www.perrielectures.org.uk/?page_id=33 "The Committee"], The Perrie Lectures]
The award and lecture programme were named in honour of Bill Perrie (1918–1997), regarded as one of the leading prison governors of his time.[[http://www.irr.org.uk/pdf/PerrieLectures060608.pdf ''The Perrie Lectures 2008''], [Institute of Race Relations](/source/Institute_of_Race_Relations_(United_Kingdom))]
