Prison of the Mind

New approaches to justice - taking a mental-health first approach.

In many countries around the world, prison populations are bursting at the seams. However, in some Northern European countries, prisons are closing and re-offending rates are down, which many have attributed to a novel approach to justice - taking a mental-health first approach. Jenny Okolo, a forensic psychologist, seeks to determine whether global prison systems could benefit from a similar approach and whether the solution is as simple as it seems.

A Reduced Listening production.
