The Secret Life of Prisons

I disappeared for seven years | Sarah Moore and Sonya Ruparel


Listen Later

Sarah Moore was exposed to the most dangerous situations imaginable during a seven-year period in which she disappeared from her family's life. She wanted to protect them from the effects of her chaotic lifestyle and mental ill-health, both of which she struggled to manage. 

She is now a criminal justice practitioner working at Anawim, a Women's Centre in Birmingham.

Sonya Ruparel is the Chief Executive of Women in Prison, a charity that supports women affected by the criminal justice system and campaigns to end the harms associated with the imprisonment of women.

You can submit evidence to the Independent Sentencing Reivew here.

Presenters: Phil Maguire – Chief Executive, Prison Radio Association Paula Harriott – Chief Executive, Unlock

Producer: Andrew Wilkie Assistant Producer: Faye Dunn
