BONUS EDITION AS PROMISED!

At the end Series 1, I said I would be exploring two questions:

1. Why is society fascinated with crime?

2. The 10 percenters who don't re-offend or return to prison.

My first interview is with Lisa from Manchester who has listened to every episode of Tales From The Jails, the perfect guest to get us started with delving deeper into this subject.

During the three and a half years I was in prison I wrote over a million words by hand. Tales From The Jails is a contemporaneous account of my life, and attempts to thrive rather than merely survive, whilst incarcerated.

Most names have been changed. The events have not.

This is a Jekyll & Pride production.

Producer: Trevessa Newton

Title Music taken from The Confession, on the album Crimes Against Poetry (written and performed by The Shadow Poet, produced by Lance Thomas)
