Welcome to Unlocked Perspectives!

In this episode, I speak to two people who are on the other side of the prison system and hear about their own perspectives based on their experience.

Alex South is a former Prison Officer with ten years’ experience working for His Majesty’s Prison Service. Alex is now an author and in 2023 she released a book called Behind These Doors which provides a powerful and moving account of her time and experiences as a female prison officer.

I also speak to Daley Jones, a Detective Constable in the Metropolitan Police who, in April 2021 he was diagnosed with combined ADHD. Since then Daley has founded, and co-chairs the ADHD Alliance, a national support group for Police officers and staff with ADHD, or those who support someone with ADHD. Daley is passionate about improving the lives of people with neurodivergent conditions both within the police and for people who come into contact with the criminal justice system.

This episode aims to unlock the perspective of the officers on the other side of the prison system and gain insight into how their own personal experiences have shaped the work they now do.
