Paralympian James Brown, who is partially sighted, has given his first broadcast interview to Access All since he won compensation from the government over his treatment in prison.
Brown reached an out of court settlement with the Ministry of Justice after he launched legal proceedings for being denied his access needs in jail.
He’d been given a custodial sentence for glueing himself to a plane as part of an Extinction Rebellion protest.
We also hear from Recoop, a charity which supports older prisoners, about the situation facing other disabled inmates in the UK.
And we hear from the writer Melanie Reid, on why she’s put an end to Spinal Column — her regular updates for the Times newspaper, which documented her trials and tribulations since she became a tetraplegic and a wheelchair user following a riding accident in 2010.
