  • 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.

  • I love this!

    I listened to the episode with Chris Atkins and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to listen to a truly authentic podcast with two ‘real’ people speaking unscripted and from the heart. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Birth of My Daughter Changed Everything - Raushia Coles
Q: What do you think we still get wrong about women within the criminal justice system? And what do you think still needs to change?
Coles says stigma, fear of losing children, domestic abuse, housing insecurity and shame make it difficult for women to seek help. She calls for more funding and for services to treat trauma and addiction as health issues rather than relying on criminalization.
The Birth of My Daughter Changed Everything - Raushia Coles
Q: So Raushia, what did change for you when you found out you were pregnant with your daughter?
After a series of crises, including an overdose in her home, Coles realized that her daughter might be taken into care unless she changed her life. That realization began her recovery journey.
Restorative Justice Helped Me Cope With The Murder of My Twin Brother - Nick Dawson
Q: What is something that you have learned to understand about the criminal justice system or prison in your time going into prisons?
Dawson describes underfunding, staffing problems, broken facilities and people spending too long locked in cells without meaningful activity. He says the system needs continued work and transformation.
Restorative Justice Helped Me Cope With The Murder of My Twin Brother - Nick Dawson
Q: What was it like hearing him talk about the incident?
Dawson was struck by the offender's honesty and accountability. Hearing the details was painful, but answering his questions and understanding how Simon died became part of his healing.
Cellmate to CEO | Abdul
Q: What would you tell someone listening in their cell who has a business idea but no idea where to start?
