Ep43: Collateral damage? The families fragmented by imprisonment

Prison is intended to punish wrongdoing. But all too often it's not just the person on the inside who's punished, but those on the outside too: their family. In this episode, Penelope and Rob are joined by Josie Cole, author of 'prison bag', a blog describing her experience navigating family life with a partner on the inside, and Dr Lorna Brookes, founder of Time Matters and Reader in Parental Imprisonment at Liverpool John Moores University. They discuss the impact of separation through imprisonment on partnerships and children and how prison thwarts attempts to maintain relationships.
