Today’s episode is a little different — it’s our wrap-up for the main series. Over the last few weeks, we’ve spoken to so many incredible people who’ve opened up about their lives, their time inside, and what happened next. We’ve heard stories of resilience, moments that really shook us, and insights that challenged how we think about the system.
In this episode, we’re looking back at those conversations — what’s stayed with us, what we’ve learned, and the bigger themes that connect them all.
We also share what’s coming next — including the mini-series we’ve been working on that will take an even deeper look at prison, the system, and its future.
