Family: Dr Cara Jardine

Family: Dr Cara Jardine   Our colleague, or should that be 'sister' of SCCJR, Dr Cara Jardine, Senior Lecturer at the University of Strathclyde, joins our host Ali Fraser to help kick off Season 2 of the Just Humans podcast.  Cara's research focuses on the impact of imprisonment on family and relationships and recently published her book, 'Families, Imprisonment and Legitimacy: The Cost of Custodial Penalties'.  Cara and Ali talk about family as a verb, what prisons can do to help families connect and we hear Sophie's story who is a young mum trying to keep her family together while Kian is in prison. Hosted Dr Alistair Fraser, Director of SCCJR  Produced & Edited by Rachelle Cobain, Communications Officer at SCCJR.
