Unfortunately, we don't hear many stories about long-term prisoners successfully transitioning back into society, but we have one for you today.

Pete Bates runs The Pete Bates Project, a fast-growing platform dedicated to exposing coercive control, post-separation abuse, and the behavioural patterns that put women and children at risk. He joins us to talk about his mission.
