Unlawful Killing: Prisons Part 1 | Episode 3 Unlawful Killing
-
- História
Every year hundreds of people die in prisons in the UK. We’ll be asking why so many people are dying, why so few people are talking about it, and hearing more about the communities and families that these deaths tear apart.
In this episode, Lucy Brisbane and Lee Lawrence look at the children and young people who have died in prisons in the past, and how family led campaigns have led to vital changes which continue to save lives.
Joseph Scholes, 16, and Jake Foxall, 19, both died self-inflicted deaths in young offenders' prisons, over a decade apart. Their mothers have been at the forefront of campaigns for change.
We hear from Jake’s mother Maryann Walters about what prisons in the UK are really like and what it’s like having a son in prison.
