Episode description
Sinem Bozkurt was a prison officer in England for a year and a half before she was caught taking contraband into prison for an incarcerated person. She then went on to serve a prison sentence. Sinem speaks about her time as an officer, what was going on in her life that contributed to her taking in contraband and her time serving a sentence. We discuss whether the training equips officers to do the job expected of them, whether prison is a necessary punishment for some offences and how three people can be convicted of similar offences yet get very different outcomes.
