We recently visited HMP Brixton to record with @prisonradiouk.bsky.social on care leavers' rights.

The interview's been broadcast across prisons in England throughout National Care Leavers Month.

Huge thanks to Prison Radio for having us!

70% of women in prison have experienced domestic abuse, @prisonradiouk.bsky.social

At Nacro, we understand the need for dedicated services responding to the needs and experiences of women. We work holistically with women to understand where they want their lives to go and help them to move on.
We are committed to sharing real stories, support, and hope for anyone affected by domestic abuse. Through NPR we are educating, challenging harmful behaviours, and promoting healthy relationships across our audience, with the support of organisations like @WIP_live.

Radio started it in 1897. Podcasts are carrying it forward.

At the Prison Radio Association, we’ve evolved from radio waves to podcast streams, giving people a voice as they rebuild life inside prison and after release.

From airwaves to audio streams, radio’s legacy continues to change lives 💫

Leaving prison can be one of life’s most stressful experiences.

We support people both preparing for release and after release through our Life After Prison and Outside In podcasts. Both offer guidance, inspiration, and practical information to help ease the transition 💙

“I’m going for, like, sales jobs, office jobs, office clerk, assistant and interviews go overwhelmingly good until, ‘Oh, by the way, do you have any convictions?"

Zak's experience of job-rejection is common for many after prison. Hear his story in this eye-opening interview ⬇️
🚨 Life After Prison is back with a brand new series: Cellmate to CEO 🚨

Presented by Tony Supreme, CEO of Soul Surge Wellness, who first met us during his sentence, we sit down with leaders, and changemakers to explore their journey from prison to leadership 💼
