Behind the walls of prisons lie stories we rarely hear. In this award-nominated podcast, criminologist Kaigan Carrie talks to prison officers, governors, forensic psychiatrists, prison doctors, former prisoners, and criminal justice experts about the realities of life inside prison. Through their voices, the podcast explores what it's like to work and live in one of society’s most challenging environments. A few special series also examine the experiences of other frontline workers and wider criminal justice issues.

    Execution: who gets the death penalty and why?

    Professor Frank Baumgartner is a political scientist who has spent years analysing the death penalty. He tells us about the bigger picture: how factors like the race and gender of a victim can influence who receives a death sentence, how people who win an appeal can be sentenced to death again, the enormous financial costs involved, and the inconsistencies that shape how the system is applied.

    Execution: inside the capital jury room

    Professor Scott Sundby is a law professor who has spent more than 30 years studying capital jurors - the ordinary citizens tasked with choosing between a death sentence and life in prison. He takes us inside the jury room to reveal what it’s really like to sit on a capital case, the intense pressures and moral dilemmas jurors face, the regret some carry for years, and how the experience can leave a lasting mark long after the trial ends.

    Execution: the toll on execution workers

    Chiara Eisner, an investigative journalist who interviewed 26 execution workers to understand how their work affects them, tells us how she gained access to these workers - despite their identities often being kept secret - how they are selected for these roles, and what she learned about the physical and mental health toll execution work can take on those involved.

    Execution: the truth about lethal injection

    Dr Joel Zivot, an anaesthesiologist and intensive care medicine doctor, tells us about one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding lethal injection: that it is a painless form of execution. He shares a pattern he discovered while reviewing hundreds of autopsies of people executed by lethal injection - a pattern that challenges what we thought we knew about how lethal injection affects the body, and what that means for how we understand executions.

    Under pressure: the trauma expert

    This is episode 6 of a special 6-part series exploring the mental toll frontline professionals carry as they do vital work to protect all of us. Sean McCallum is a crisis intervention and trauma consultant, and a watch manager in the UK fire service where he's served for 23 years. In this episode, Sean shares his view on why some experiences are traumatic for some individuals but not others, what might cause flashbacks and rumination, and how sleep - or lack there of - can shape how we process trauma. Sean is not a clinician. His perspective comes from a person-centred metapsychological approach.

In this episode, Lea reflects on the night of the attack and the lasting psychological impact. She speaks about the lack of support she received afterwards and the unexpected public backlash she faced, including death threats, as a visible face of the ambulance service.
