Justice

Please note this episode mentions loss of pregnancy and infant mortality that some listeners may find distressing. In this episode, Edwina talks to Dr Lucy Baldwin, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at De Montford University and previously, qualified social worker and probation officer. Lucy shares how her own experiences of stigma as a young mum influenced her career supporting women and children. Lucy believes there are many missed opportunities before women come into the justice system and stresses the need for a better and more tailored response to mothers during their prison sentence, as well as supporting them post-release. Follow Lucy on Twitter: @LucyBaldwin08To hear more on the issue on maternal imprisonment, listen to Edwina’s podcast with Dr Shona Minson here, and to learn more about the impact of a parent in prison on children listen to Edwina’s podcast with Sarah Burrows here.Read more about the One Small Thing charity here.Twitter - @OSTCharityThis podcast is created and produced by&
