“I went from the best worker. I was the best worker and my boss’s best friend to so many days off. I used to not answer my phone, unexplained absences, when I was just using drugs. It was really out of control. I was really out of control.”

Did you know that Qantas headsets get refurbished by women in prison? And some prisoners get to whipper snipper old people’s lawns? In this episode, find out why work is such a big deal in prison, and meet Taise, who used to have a great job on the outside.
