  • Frustrating

    A frustrating listen for any hardworking, law-abiding citizens. Getting all sorts of education in prison that I had to pay a hefty sum for! Seems they weren’t wrong about prison being a holiday camp.

Cellmate to CEO | Gina
Q: What drives this work ethic? What is it for you that drives you to work in the way that you do?
I just feel like when you're being labeled and everyone thinks you won't amount to anything, so I want to prove all those people wrong that actually, to be honest with you, I think we're the most dedicated people to get working for you.
Cellmate to CEO | Gina
Q: What was life like for you before prison?
Before I even ended up in prison, I came out of school with no GCSEs at all... just trying to find where you all belong and just getting in and out of trouble.
Cellmate to CEO | Gina
