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.

Wildlife biologist becomes a prison officer in a county jail

Craig Gottschalk was a wildlife biologist who went on to work in prisons for 12 years, first as a prison officer and finally as assistant director. He is now assistant ombudsman, investigating complaints from people in prison. Craig shares the signs to look out for before somebody becomes violent, taught to him from his days as a biologist. He tells us about an encounter with a former prisoner who threatened to kill Craig and his family, and how a chance meeting in a grocery store showed Craig that he was literally saving lives in prison.
