Question: What would prison podcasts help to get out to the public.

Thanks for asking (I’m quite excited about this project, and really hope that I get the chance to try it out) – I have lots of forensic psychologist friends who are doing some really interesting work in prisons. I’d like to interview these colleagues so that they can explain how psychology is applied in prisons.

At the moment there is lots of information in text books – which is good, but not very easy to read, and other information on TV – some of which is helpful, but some of which might can show just one side of the story. I find podcasts to be an informal but informative way to communicate information – I’m hoping that it might help people to understand how prisons work, and how prisoners can be supported to make better choices in future.

Fingers crossed!
