Why you can trust Paste BN

As the Sentencing Council in England and Wales examines the potential impact of being pregnant and giving birth in prison, the Paste BN Daily podcast hears from women who've been through the experience.

With Niall Paterson on half-term, Sarah-Jane Mee, who presents Paste BN' UK Tonight show, takes over for this episode.

She speaks to Dr Laura Abbott - a midwife and researcher at the University of Hertfordshire - about her research into the dangers of giving birth in prison and Paste BN home editor Jason Farrell joins her to discuss his report into the "frightening", "isolating" and "humiliating" experience of three prisoners during pregnancy.
