Water is essential for life. WIthout access to clean drinking water, your life will be filled with sickness and death, guaranteed. And unfortunately for many prisoners around the world, this is what their life is like. Living everyday with no assurances that the water that they will drink will be safe and clean.

In Part 4 of our series on “Prisoners'', we are talking about the lack of access to clean water that many prisoners face each and every day. They have no choice. They have no voice. They have no agency over their surroundings. Many of them are forced to drink dirty, contaminated water every day. It’s a big problem.

Let’s talk about it on this episode. Stay tuned!.
