That is how you train and help people. Treat them like people and give them education and work training opportunities 💪 😊

What is the main crime that a woman is most likely to be sentenced for? I suspect it would be different to a man? Also, how many women prisoners end up back inside? Who is Ireland’s longest serving women prisoner? What does this guest think about the likes of Barbie Kardashian in a women's prison? None of this was covered in this video.
