  • You can be innocent and spend 17 years in prison

    You can be innocent and spend 17 years in prison
    Jun 27 2024

    Recently, the BBC aired a documentary about Andrew Malkinson, an individual from England who was wrongfully convicted of rape and spent 17 years in prison, until he was released in December 2020. Danny Barrs is the Chair of Promoting Prisoners Maintaining Innocence. Danny chats about majority verdicts in jury cases, how it can be difficult for innocent people to progress through prison and the difficulty they can face in obtaining compensation from the state upon their release from prison.

    Cage is currently serving a 50 year prison sentence in Texas for aggravated robbery while his wife, Andreea, lives in London.

  • Growing up with drug-addicted parents

    Growing up with drug-addicted parents
    Jun 7 2024

    Chelsea Cameron wrote an open letter to her drug-addicted parents in 2017, thanking them for teaching her that life isn't all sunshine and rainbows. She shares the letter with us and tells us about the stigma of growing up with drug-addicted parents, whether prison helped her dad, and the issue with drugs in Scottish prisons, where 1 in 10 prisoners say they had never touched drugs before their imprisonment but started using them while inside.
