Holding the key, Episode #9 ~ David Shipley with Bishop Rachel
Bishop Rachel talks to David Shipley about his experiences and specific suggestions for ways that the criminal justice system could be transformed.
David Shipley has worked as a consultant for HM Inspectorate of Prisons and Probation, and has lived experience of being in prison himself. He says, “While I was in prison, I became radicalised. I think by the state of the prison system, by the way that it wastes time and lives, and ruins and destroys instead of healing and building, and changing in a positive way. So I promised myself that after I was out, I would speak up, campaign, write about it.”
