Ep 9: Beauty

“I grew up in rags not having anything. We only had this one Spice Girls top, me and my sisters, so we’d smash over that. Now I’m a real girly girl when it comes to all that stuff.” In this episode, women share tips for looking good in prison and you’ll meet Jess, a self-confessed fashion fanatic with a love for expensive body scrubs and animal metaphors. Beauty is the ninth episode of BIRDS EYE VIEW, a magazine-style podcast that gives you a new perspective on women in prison.
