Daisy-May Hudson and Sophie Compton on Holloway

Holloway women’s prison closed its doors in 2016, but the legacy left behind looms large for those who spent time there. As part of an exercise in healing, filmmakers Daisy-May Hudson and Sophie Compton took a group of six women who were imprisoned in Holloway back there. Their feature documentary Holloway, an examination of the criminal justice system in England and Wales, is the result. Jen caught up with Daisy-May and Sophie to talk about the ways in which women are failed by the system, and the need for more compassion in our discourse around the prison system. Holloway is premiering at the London Film Festival Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
