The Anglican Bishop for HM Prisons, the Right Revd Rachel Treweek, led a visit to the Netherlands to discover more about their criminal justice system as she continues with her commitment to inspire alternatives to prison in England and Wales.

In this podcast Bishop Rachel, Pia Sinha (CEO of the Prison Reform Trust) and Andrea Coomber (Chief Executive for the Howard League for Penal Reform), reflect on what they learnt during the visit and their key takeaways from the meetings that took place and the visit of PI Alphen aan den Rijn prison.

This is the first of a series of Podcasts called - 'Holding the key: A series of conversations to unlock the door to doing prison differently’. Bishop Rachel will be joined by influencers and change-makers as they ask the questions – what is prison really for and more importantly what could the alternatives be?
