What’s it really like to go through the justice system? Experts by Experience starts by asking – and listening.
Created by Catch22Minutes, this series puts lived experience at the heart of the conversation. In each episode, we hear from people who have been through the justice system, as well as professionals working to change it from the inside.
In this episode of Experts by Experience, host Nic speaks with Meg, Prison Delivery Manager at Kids Matter, about what parenting really looks like inside UK prisons. Meg shares why her work with dads in prison is such a privilege and how Kids Matter’s programmes help fathers grow in confidence, competence, and community.
Through honest conversations about identity, generational trauma, and staying connected with children, Meg highlights powerful stories of dads rebuilding relationships and finding hope – sometimes after years of no contact.
A moving, human look at fatherhood, rehabilitation, and the impact of giving dads space to be heard.
