This week’s topic is Oscar goes to jail and prisons in South Africa.

We chat to prison architect Paul Silver about designing prisons to minimise prison violence, then we chat to Ian Meyer, clinical psychologist, about the psychological effects of solitary confinement. We end off with an interview from Garth Spencer Smith, founder of educational project Ukufunda, about innovations in maths education.
