Prison, Addiction & The Cycle of Offending // with Prison Officer Frank McKeown

In this episode, I speak to Barlinnie Prison Officer Frank McEwan on his experiences in one of Britain's toughest jails. Frank shares his insight on how people get trapped in the cycle of offending, how society would benefit from treating addiction as a mental illness and how people in care need compassion, not condemnation.We discuss mental health issues, personal techniques for dealing with demons and we have a good few laughs as well.Email: [email protected]: https://twitter.com/seanmcdonald01Helpful ContactsTom Allan Centre (Counselling Services in Glasgow): https://www.crossreach.org.uk/our-locations/tom-allan-centrehttps://www.samaritans.orghttps://breathingspace.scot/Don't suffer in silence, let people help.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
