Tommy Nicol died a self-inflicted death in prison whilst on an indeterminate prison sentence (IPP).

Tommy’s sister Donna Mooney has been at the forefront of campaigning for change and challenging the harmful consequences of the IPP sentence, which was abolished back in 2012.

Lucy and Lee speak to Donna about her fight and how accountability for Tommy’s death can only come when all those still serving IPP sentences are resentenced and finally have a release date in sight.

Sean Rigg was a Black man who died following violent police restraint whilst in a mental health crisis in Brixton in August 2008. His sister Marcia Rigg has been campaigning for justice ever since.

We hear from Marcia about what drives her fight, the changes that have been achieved, and why there is no justice, there is just us.

Lee and Lucy continue to explore what justice means, within and beyond the law, and how there is beauty and hope in a world we cannot yet imagine.

Connor Sparrowhawk was a funny 18-year-old who loved London buses. He was autistic and had epilepsy and learning disabilities. He died after drowning in a bath at an NHS care unit whilst the staff meant to be looking after him were doing a Tesco order.

Lucy and Lee speak to Connor’s mum, Sara Ryan, about who Connor was and her family’s longstanding campaign for justice, within and beyond the law.

Lee and Sara draw parallels between their experiences of caring for their loved ones in life, continuing that care in death through campaigning and finding strength in the communities that rose up to support them.
