“Thought provoking, especially therapeutic prisons. Makes the listener judge the effectiveness of uk prison services. Meeting my brothers murderer makes you understand the dynamics of the victim/ family/ criminal individually but also the entire scenario as a whole, brave & insightful episode....”Read full review »

“This podcast lifts the stone that covers the English prison system and it does not look a pretty sight. We should be ashamed to turn a blind eye to these injustices and those who meet it out who are in many ways worse . Maybe just maybe this will be another straw towards eventually tipping the...”Read full review »

“This was definitely interesting listening. It gives insight into prison life and the people who end up there. It doesn’t glorify it either.”

“Absolutely love this series it’s completely fascinating, and I can’t wait for the next one every week.

My only complaint is that the pods are too...”Read full review »

“Season 1 answers a whole load of questions those of us interested in the prison system have always wanted to ask. It’s pretty light and easy listening, even amusing at times. Season 2 is certainly darker, even harrowing at times. But I’m glad this podcast, after a lighter introduction, is now...”Read full review »

“Sadly nothing surprised me, the prison system IS A FAILURE. Not just to victims, but prison staff and in rehabilitating prisoners.
What ever your views, the podcasts are a must listen, if you don’t know you will do afterwards. The book that Chris Atkins has written is a must read, excellently...”Read full review »

“Really benefited from the book which I devoured in the last 48hours.
Massive education with an edge of dark humour and humanisation of a world where few, if any, are treated humanely.
I have sent this book across to my family as the first of our “Book Share” club (participants are nearing or...”Read full review »
