What are prisons for? In this bonus episode of Stages of Justice, you’ll hear the full conversation with Professor Rosalind Crone about how our ideas of punishment, rehabilitation, and prison education in Britain have developed over time. We explore the role of arts and education in prisons and question how activities inside have been framed in different ways across history.

Host Dr Sarah Bartley
