EP - 1: Julian, Becoming a Father Behind Bars

In this first episode of Fathers Together, we meet Julian, who became a young dad while serving a prison sentence. He reflects on growing up without a present father, battling addiction, and how prison shaped the man and father he is today. His partner Davinia shares how she held their family together during his time inside, raising three children and finding creative ways to stay connected like playing hide-and-seek over a smuggled phone.Joining host Roifield Brown are Dr Anita Mehay, who leads the Fathers Together study, and Leandra Box, Deputy CEO of the Race Equality Foundation. They unpack how the justice system disproportionately affects racially minoritised communities and share insights from their groundbreaking work supporting young fathers in prison. Subscribe and listen to this powerful series exploring fatherhood, forgiveness, and the fight for change.Learn more and follow the study:Website: www.fatherstogether.co.ukYouTube: @TogetherFathers Hosted on Acast.
