Chris Atkins: Broken Justice
The UK has among the worst reoffending rates in Europe, with 45% of prisoners re-convicted within a year of leaving prison at a cost of around £18 million per year to the taxpayer. Our justice system allowed a man to escape prison by pretending to be his twin brother, let one offender live in luxury hotels while masquerading as the Duke of Marlborough and sent a man back to prison for not attending a party.
Do time with former inmate, documentary maker and bestselling author Chris Atkins in this eye-opening conversation on his experiences, both enraging and darkly hilarious, in the UK’s broken justice system and find out why the only thing harder than being in prison is staying out of it.
