Description

What hope is there for people incarcerated in the Criminal Justice System? Is there any chance of rehabilitation for career criminals?

In this inspiring podcast we hear from two former prisoners who learned about the Three Principles whilst in prison. They explain how their lives have since transformed and how they now support other prisoners and families to reconnect with their wellbeing and resilience.

Derrick Mason and Omar Wilson were participants on the 'Beyond Recovery' programme run by Jacqueline Hollows. Jacqueline (or Mama J as she's known to them) explains how she started her social enterprise as a rookie, but enthusiastic practitioner. The photo above is of Jacqueline and Derrick - he's now a Director of Beyond Recovery.

In this conversation we explore why the Beyond Recovery programme has been so successful and reflect on whether there is a chance for this kind of work to be shared more extensively in prisons.
