Courtney went to prison at the age of 20, and served two and a half years inside. Now aged 22, she's living in a bail hostel in Liverpool.

Courtney came into our studio a few months after she was released from prison. She's aiming to complete her degree and is also looking for employment. She's also enjoying spending time with her daughter.

Also in the studio is Helga Swindenbank, who is Executive Director for Youth Custody Services at the Ministry of Justice, and Dr Giles McCathie, who is Lead Psychologist for Youth Custody Services.

Future Prison was produced with support from the Barrow Cadbury Trust and the Saint Sarkis Charity Trust.
