SEASON 1 : EPISODE 10
Finding Your Voice on National Prison Radio, with Lady Unchained
| 49 minutes
In overcrowded, violent prisons, showing emotion can be seen as weakness. Creativity can become a lifeline.
Lady Unchained explores how creative writing can give prisoners a way to express what they cannot say out loud. Drawing on her own time in custody, she explains how discovering poetry gave her hope for a better future.
She shares the journey of her award-winning hit show, Free Flow, on National Prison Radio, and how it is helping prisoners across the UK prison population to find their voice, reflect on their actions and redefine their futures.
