“Payback is if a person stabs you, then you do the same thing. If I stabbed her then she’ll stab me, fifty-to-fifty. Like if I had sex with her husband then she will do the same thing with my husband.”
In this episode, meet Serafina and Noelene, who are doing time because of payback and find out how revenge shapes life in prison.
Payback is the fourth episode of BIRDS EYE VIEW, a magazine-style podcast that gives you a new perspective on women in prison. BIRDS EYE VIEW was co-created with women inside the Darwin Correctional Centre and is presented by StoryProjects.
