In spring 2020, before Coronavirus hit, we recorded conversations between six people who have been to prison and three senior members of Ministry of Justice staff.

These conversations made up the first six episodes of this series.

This seventh and final episode brings those senior bosses back to the studio as we reflect on those original conversations, and the changed reality for prisons in the era of Coronavirus.

Featuring:

Sonia Flynn, Chief Probation Officer and Director of Women at HM Prison and Probation Service;

Tanya Robinson OBE, Head of Diversity and Inclusion at HM Prison and Probation Service;

Helga Swindenbank, who is Executive Director for Youth Custody Services at the Ministry of Justice.

Future Prison was produced with support from the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Saint Sarkis Charity Trust.

Presenter: Hilary Ineomo-Marcus
Producer: Suzi Dale
