Ashleigh is a magnificent human with an incredible story. From surviving childhood trauma to being in prison to raising her two daughters on her own, there are few people that inspire me more. Ashleigh and I discuss the nature of criminality, what it's like to be a woman in prison, the role of childhood trauma in shaping our lives and much more.
