<p>In this episode Jules speaks to 20-year-old Kerry, who’s only been out of prison a month at the time of recording. They chat about how losing a friend in the Grenfell Tower fire at the age of 13 had a massive impact on Kerry, who later became expelled from school, and at the age of 17 received a 5 year prison sentence. For Kerry, being recalled back to prison after being released half way through her sentence was a big wake up call, and changed her outlook on moving forwards. </p><p> </p><p>The full version of this episode can be found wherever you get your podcasts: (link) </p><p> </p><p><strong>Useful links and organisations:</strong> </p><p> </p><p><strong>ID Essence- ID Essence work with young adults aged 18-25 in women's prisons and after </strong><a href="https://www.idessence.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.idessence.org/</strong></a> </p><br><p><strong>Action for Children- We help those in trouble to turn their lives around </strong><a href="https://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/our-work-and-impact/children-and-families/young-people/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.actionforchildren.org.uk/our-work-and-impact/children-and-families/young-people/</strong></a> </p><br><p><strong>Nacro- We see your future, whatever your past </strong><a href="https://www.nacro.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.nacro.org.uk/</strong></a><strong> </strong> </p><br><p><strong>St Giles Trust- Turning a past into a future </strong><a href="https://www.stgilestrust.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://www.stgilestrust.org.uk/</strong></a> </p><br><p><strong>Unlock- Building a fairer future for people with criminal records </strong><a href="https://unlock.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://unlock.org.uk/</strong></a> </p><br><p><strong>Working Chance- Unlocking Women’s Potential </strong><a href="https://workingchance.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://workingchance.org/</strong></a><strong> </strong> </p><br><p> </p><p><strong>Contact us:</strong> </p><p>If anything you’ve heard in this podcast has inspired you to make a positive change in your life, or you’d just like to get in touch, please contact us. </p><p>💬 DM us: @afterprisonpod on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok </p><p>📧 Email us: <a href="mailto:[email protected]" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">[email protected]</a> </p><p>✉️ Write to us: Life After Prison, National Prison Radio, HMP Brixton, London SW2 5XF </p><p>🖥️ Website: <a href="https://lifeafterprisonpod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lifeafterprisonpod.com/</a> </p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>This week Jules sits down with Molly Ellis, whose life drastically after a family tragedy in 2017. In the aftermath, she became involved in fraudulent activities, leading to a five-year prison sentence. Just weeks before starting her sentence, she gave birth to her daughter and chose to raise her newborn behind bars. Since her release, Molly has dedicated herself to helping others rebuild their lives through her organisation Project Accountability. The two also reminisce on old times as former pad-mates and the incredible journeys they've been on since leaving prison.</p><p> </p><p>This podcast is also available as a video – just search <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@lifeafterprison" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Life After Prison</a> on YouTube.</p><br><p><strong>Useful organisations:</strong> </p><br><p><strong><u>Support for Women in/Leaving Prison: </u></strong></p><br><p><strong>Women in Prison</strong> (National) – Supports women affected by the criminal justice system with advocacy, housing, employment, and resettlement services. </p><p><a href="https://www.womeninprison.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.womeninprison.org.uk</a> </p><p><strong>Birth Companions</strong> (London and the South East) – Provides support for pregnant women and mothers in prison, including help with resettlement and parenting. </p><p><a href="https://www.birthcompanions.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.birthcompanions.org.uk</a> </p><br><p><strong><u>Domestic Abuse & Trauma Support:</u> </strong></p><br><p><strong>Refuge</strong> (National) – Offers emergency accommodation and support for women escaping domestic abuse. </p><p><a href="https://www.refuge.org.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.refuge.org.uk</a> </p><p><strong>Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA)</strong> (National) – Helps women rebuild financially after economic abuse. </p><p><a href="https://survivingeconomicabuse.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://survivingeconomicabuse.org</a> </p><br><p><strong><u>Employment & Entrepreneurship Support: </u></strong></p><p><strong>Project Accountability</strong> – Founded by Molly Ellis and Ty Mitchell, this organization focuses on reducing recidivism and supporting ex-offenders and vulnerable youth through vocational training, employment opportunities, and rehabilitation programs. </p><p><a href="https://www.projectaccountability.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.projectaccountability.co.uk</a> </p><br><p><strong>Peabody Group</strong> - Aiming to provide great homes and housing services, making a positive impact in communities and creating an inspiring, inclusive place to work.</p><p>https://www.peabodygroup.org.uk/</p><br><p><strong>Peckham Soup Kitchen</strong> - A community non-profit organisation formed in 2022 set up to give back to those in need in the Southwark community.
