Manage episode 407660530 series 2906852
“Why should we care about what goes on in our prisons?”
If you are interested in looking at humanity, resilience and the complexity of people, and the conditions, chaos, confusion, compassion & conflict in our prisons, listen to this episode with former Prison Officer Alex South.
Alex worked in some of the toughest men’s jails in the UK and is the Author of Behind These Doors, which opens up a place heavy with suffering, where you will find dangerous, vulnerable, and forgotten people, behind walls so high they are out of sight & out of mind. But at what cost?
Alex reveals a world behind bars that is in fact a reflection of the society we have created, and that if we want a better world, we need to find better ways to fix a failing justice system, and rehabilitate those who returning to our communities, so that we help the vulnerable and give more opportunity to those willing and able to make amends.
