What's prison got to do with us- with Behind These Doors author Alex South

“Why should we care about what goes on in our prisons?”If you are interested in looking at humanity, resilience and the complexity of people, and the conditions, chaos, confusion, compassion & conflict in our prisons, listen to this episode with former Prison Officer Alex South. Alex worked  in some of the toughest men’s jails in the UK and is the Author of Behind These Doors, which opens up a place heavy with suffering, where you will find dangerous, vulnerable, and forgotten people, behind walls so high they are out of sight & out of mind. But at what cost?Alex reveals a world behind bars that is in fact a reflection of the society we have created, and that if we want a better world, we need to find better ways to fix a failing justice system, and rehabilitate those who returning to our communities, so that we help the vulnerable and give more opportunity to those willing and able to make amends. You can find out more about Alex’s work at C&W Literary Agency and follow her on Linkedin @AlexSouthJoin Lou on LinkedinFollow her @brave_newgirl on Instagram Support the showLou is the founder of Brave New Girl Media, helping put your expertise, vision & mission in the spotlight by helping you launch and grow your podcast. https://bravenewgirlmedia.comPODCASTING SERVICES:Podcast production serviceCOURSES:Podcast planning workbookPodcast Guesting courseBOOK A CALL:Get in contact to book a 30 minute discovery call with Lou.Books by Lou Hamilton: Dare to Share- International bestselling guide to podcast guesting FEAR LESS- coaching guide to living more bravely Brave New Girl- How to be Fearless Co-author: Women Excelling Everywhere #1 International Best-seller Paintings by Lou @LouHamiltonart
