Introducing: The Secret Life of Prisons – Two Peas in a Pad
Life After Prison will be back with you soon but while we are finalising series 4 in the studio, we thought we would share some episodes of another podcast here. It’s called The Secret Life of Prisons and is made by our colleagues at the Prison Radio Association. This episode is all about the friends that you make in prison.
Can you make lasting friendships in prison?
In this episode of The Secret Life of Prisons, Phil and Paula talk about the ups and the downs of making friends inside. They're joined by guests Rob and Mike aka Boats, who made friends during their time in HMP Rochester and now co-host the podcast, Banged Up. Rob and Boats share stories of how they met and let us in on the secret to staying mates on the outside.
You can listen to all fourteen episodes of Banged Up here, or wherever you get your podcasts.
