In this episode Faith, talks about the profound impact of detention on her mental health. She calls for radical changes to the system, from proper risk assessments prior to detaining people, to community-based alternatives to detention. However, whilst detention continues, she calls for support for people once they are released and speaks powerfully about the importance of raising awareness of the realities of detention. Knowledge, she says, is power and ‘ignorance a very big disease’, with awareness she concludes, tomorrow will be a better day.
