Crime and glamour - Who is to blame?

In one of my last phone conversations with Emilia Carr, the woman serving two life sentences for murder and kidnapping (A crime she's always maintained she's innocent of) she was frustrated and angry at how the conditions within the prison were deteriorating. Lack of sleep, poor conditions and the constant distain and lack of empathy shown by the prison officers.She also went on to voice her frustration about how movies and TV almost glamourise prison and crime, shows like 'Orange is The New Black' make out that prison is not all that bad, its pretty comfortable and just a place to kick back and do your time. The reality, she says, couldn't be further from the truth,So does pop culture, movies and TV glamourise this harsh world and if so who's to blame? It's an interesting topic and one that I wanted to explore! so I sat down with Simon and Sonia from the pop culture podcast to discuss exactly that.You can check out Tied Up which drops weekly right here: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/tied-up/id1649893806HOTLINE:03 5294 0569Got a Question about a case? comment or just thoughts you'd like to share.
