Ray Wyre (2 November 1951 – 20 June 2008) was a pioneer in the treatment of sex offenders.[1]
Born in Hampshire, his work as a probation officer in prisons brought him into contact with some of Britain's most dangerous violent and sexual offenders, including Reggie Kray and Robert Black.[2] He set up the first residential treatment centre for sex offenders, the Gracewell Clinic, in 1988 in Birmingham.[2][3]
Wyre had three children, all from his first marriage, which ended in divorce. He died of a stroke and was survived by his wife Charmaine and his children.[2]
