  • A really insightful listen

    Great podcast. So pleased that you covered the horrendous post office scandal, especially the point about the fact that this scandal points to much broader significant failures in the criminal justice system. Disappointed that there was no mention of the potentially significantly disproportionate charging, prosecution and sentencing outcomes for minority ethnic post masters. This must be examined more closely.

The sustainable funding of women's centers that address women's unique needs should be a priority, along with understanding that many women offend out of survival or familial responsibilities.
