From High Security Prisons to Churchill Fellowships and Behind These Doors

Today I'm joined by Alex South former senior prison officer and author of "Behind These Doors."

In this episode we discuss:

• High security populations
• Prison systems and culture
• Rehabilitation and relationships
• Compassion, empathy and authenticity
• Trauma, stress and mental health
• Staff moral, retention and welfare
• Hyper vigilance and violence
• Churchill Fellowship and justice research
• Ministerial conversations and contemplation
• Stories that need to be told
• Book publishing and parenting

This is a unique and fascinating insight into some of the most well known prisons in England from someone who locked the doors.
