“When they said that I was coming to prison at the watch house, I got to speak to my mum. She was in prison before me and she said just go up to these people and tell them that I’m her daughter and everything will be okay.”
What’s it like to be in prison with your mum? And what’s it like to be a mum in prison? You’ll find out in this episode, all about family.
