“Winning an ARIA showed everyone that we can build life after prison. It showed that creative writing is a powerful tool, radio is a powerful tool and using our stories to tell the world the realities of prison is a powerful move” ✊

Great to welcome Lindsay & Izzy into our studio to work with our prisoner-producers at HMP Styal.
Sessions like this help our producers build a broader mix of skills that can open doors in radio and podcasting when they leave prison.

Everyone’s talking about our patron Louis Theroux and the #manosphere.
96% of people in #prison in England & Wales are men. In a largely male world cut off from the outside, extreme ideas about masculinity can take hold.
Through National Prison Radio we create space for healthier conversations 💬
🏠 Rough sleeping after #prison dramatically increases reoffending - up to 72.7% return to custody within a year.
On this week's episode of Money Mondays we chat with Andy and Jay from Foundation 2 Change about avoiding #homelessness and available support.

#MothersDay #WomenInPrison
...for mums inside prison, for children outside, and for families navigating the space in between.
For mums and children affected by the criminal justice system, today may feel especially heavy. We hope our radio shows and podcasts can offer moments of comfort, calm, and peace 🕊️
An estimated 17,000 children in England and Wales are affected by maternal imprisonment every year, and around 55% of women in prison in the UK are Mums.
Through conversations like these, we aim to provide support, connection, solidarity and a sense of community...
