Through The Prison Gate - Lucy Eggleston

A woman working in a men’s prison. From marriage proposals to stolen washing machines.. Lucy has seen it all in her work. Looking after ex offenders and those being released. Life can be difficult for those entering a new world after being locked up, but Lucy and her team are aiming to make that transition a lot smoother. The power of consistent support and slow progress is changing the lives of many, with Lucy and her colleagues at the helm. Like the rest of the world, prisons are also being affected by COVID-19. Lucy explains some of the differences that have arisen, and how they have overcome them. Support the show Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Om Podcasten

Award Winning Second Chance is a podcast series that explores the theme of second chance. It raises the questions who deserves a second chance, who decides who gets a second chance and what a second chance actually means. On this podcast we speak to people from all walks of life about their experiences, some who have been given a second chance in life, some who might be considered to be beyond deserving a second chance. The host of the podcast series is Raphael Rowe, host of the critically acclaimed series ‘Inside the World's Toughest Prisons’ on Netflix. He is also a former correspondent for the world's longest running BBC TV current affairs show Panorama the BBC Radio 4 Today programme as well as a regular contributor on The One Show and Sunday Morning Live on BBC One. In 1988, aged 20, he was sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder and robbery he did not commit. In July 2000, after 12 years in prison, the Court of Appeal quashed his wrongful convictions and he was freed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
