#207 Alternatives to Prison for Women

Does prison work for Women? What alternatives are being tried and how successful are they - what do we even mean by 'success'? "The short answer to How many Women are in prison, is far too many! The biggest challenges are funding and investment" In this episode FiLiA trustee Sally Jackson, Dr April Smith, a criminologist and psychologist, and Rhona Hotchkiss, ex-governor of Cornton Vale Women's prison, discuss the issues for Women caught up in the criminal justice system designed for men.
