Previous Episode: New Narratives for the North East: Episode 4: About The Future
In this episode Laura is joined by Mim Skinner, author of the poignant and darkly funny Jailbirds and co-founder and director of Chester-le-Street’s multi-award winning community interest company REfUSE, which works to intercept food that would otherwise go into landfill. Mim has spent years delivering arts courses in prisons throughout the North East, and talks here about the women she met, their stories, and the systemic problems that underpin their experience.
