Nine years in a maximum security prison: Dialogue takes Peter behind bars
Amid the tension of violence and power struggles, what started as a hotbed of complaints, swearing and anger, slowly turned into something much greater. Peter charts his journey into a maximum security prison where, over the course of nine years, Dialogue began to shift communication among prisoners and prison officers alike.
In this episode you will learn:
How it is that Peter came to convene Dialogue groups at HMP Whitemoor following the death of David Bohm.
How Peter handled his first prison visits, from a briefing that felt like a scare tactic, to meeting “heavy duty” prisoners, to quelling rising tensions in the room.
About the role Jimmy Robinson played in the prison Dialogues - a man cleared of his wrongful sentence after 18 years in prison.
And how Dialogue is able to bring out the best in even the most fractured relationships.
With this, and every episode, we invite you to reflect both on the stories being told, and also your own first-hand experiences that have guided you to this moment in your life.

(5:08) A journey of inquiry after David Bohm’s death
