An award-nominated podcast that began with a focus on prisons, interviewing those who live or work inside them. It’s since grown. In the latest series, Under Pressure: Trauma on the Frontline, we hear from a firefighter, police officer, army colonel, paramedic and prison officer about the long-term impacts of repeated exposure to trauma. Hosted by Kaigan Carrie, a doctoral researcher in criminology, this podcast explores the human cost of systems we rarely see and what it means to do traumatic work on behalf of society.

Denmark's prisons: beyond the Nordic ideal

Anne Okkels Birk grew up on the grounds of a prison in Denmark as her dad was a prison governor. She went on to work for the prison service and is now a criminologist. She shares what this experience was like growing up, some of the challenges Danish prisons face, why sending prisoners to Kosovo isn't a good idea and lessons we can learn from the Holocaust and other genocides.
