Women in Prison: An Oral History – A look at the women who have gone through the criminal justice system and have tried to change it from the inside. It’s brought to you by the author and campaigner Melissa Benn and tells the story of a national charity, now forty years old, that tries to support women in the criminal justice system and to end the harm caused within them.

“Told through conversations with activists, civil servants, frontline workers, journalists and interviewed by women who've been directly affected by the justice system themselves, this podcast is a celebration of 40 years of radical feminist action,” says Benn.
