Breaking In
You think it's hard breaking out of prison?
You want to try breaking in.
What does it take for one man with no history of prison or prison service to earn the right to work with people on both sides of the the bars?
What does that feel like - and why should you care anyway?
Andy Mouncey Founder of Run For Your Life CIC does not work for the Prison Service. Here he talks candidly about how it feels to do the work he does in this most challenging of places, and how that continues to generate more questions than answers.
Breaking In
The Relationship Building Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Andy argues that people in prison stand and fall on their capacity to build, nuture and repair relationships, and that this is crucial skill that needs to bridge both sides of the bars if the place is to be a safe one.
In the second of two post-Covid How The Work Is Harder Now podcasts he explains what is different now, how that affects people like him doing this kind of work and what he thinks this means for the people in charge.
These podcasts don't get made unless Tom Haigh of Sound Post Production www.tomhaigh.com and interviewer Tony Maguire www.boxkik.com decide to roll out of bed. Fortunately for me I still seem to be giving them reason to do so. Chapeau, gentlemen.
