Melbourne Calling - #7 - Stacey and Ben
Manage episode 292183030 series 2910723
"You lose everything when you walk in those gates - your family, your job, everything. And after you've done your time, you walk out those gates with nothing."
What's life really like inside Victoria's crowded prisons? Stephen sat down with two recently released prisoners for a revealing discussion about life behind bars.
In a gripping conversation, 'Stacey ' and 'Ben' reveal the emotional rollercoaster ride of the prison experience - from the horrors of a solo stint in 'the slot' to the banality of vegetable budgets.
The pair also reflect on how the prison system can crush the life out of those within it - but amazingly, offer up some hope for both individual prisoners and society as a whole.
Thanks for listening.
