From The Perspective Of A Prison Lawyer | S2E9
Megha is joined by James Smith who is a Criminal Defence Lawyer who specialises in Prison Law and Parole at McGreevy & Co. We talk about the stigma and negative perception around prisoners and how this reduces their chance of fitting back into society. James also talks about the extent to which our prison system favours rehabilitation and how it compares to that of the USA and Norway. We also discuss why it is important that prisoners should have access to basic human rights and the controversial decision of the UK's ban on voting rights for prisoners. James also shares more information on his blog and social media presence and gives students some top tips for succeeding in a career in Prison Law.
