Rebel Justice - The View Magazine

What is justice? Who does it serve? Why should you care?When we think about justice, we think about it as an abstract, something that happens to someone else, somewhere else. But justice and the law regulate every aspect of our interactions with each other, with organisations, and with the government.We never think about it until it impacts our lives, or that of someone close.Our guests are women with lived experience of the justice system whether as victims or women who have committed crimes; or

Send us Fan Mail We speak with writer-director Olly Ginelli his BAFTA award winning short film, The Long Spring. A film that puts you inside the hidden mechanics of human trafficking.

Rebel Justice ·

2026/09/21

Send us Fan Mail We talk with Professor Laura Abbott, from the university of Hertfordshire, about what pregnancy and new motherhood can look like inside UK prisons, and why shame, uncertainty, and separation can shape every part of maternity care. We also dig into what real change requires, from properly funded lived experience co-production to closing the “release gap” so no pregnant woman leaves custody into danger.

Rebel Justice ·

2026/08/19

Send us Fan Mail Prison is often treated as the answer to women’s harm, but the numbers tell a different story. We sit down with criminologist Hannah Jane Simpson to unpack why women’s incarceration, mental health, trauma, and self-harm are so tightly linked and why “control first” institutions can make recovery harder rather than safer. We talk plainly about what trauma looks like in real life: dysregulation, fear, inconsistency, returning to harmful situations, and struggling to communicat...

Rebel Justice ·

2026/08/05

Send us Fan Mail We’re joined by Pia Sinha, CEO of the Prison Reform Trust, whose career spans prison psychology, youth justice, and governing prisons across the UK. Her starting point is simple and hard to ignore: for many women, custody follows a life of trauma, poverty, domestic abuse, and being failed by the very services that were meant to help. We unpack what prison reform looks like across the whole criminal justice system: pre custody prevention, decent and humane custody, and real r...

116. A talk with Andy West - philosophy behind bars

Rebel Justice ·

2026/07/01

Send us Fan Mail Prison is one of the most hidden institutions in the UK, which means our opinions are often built from cinema scenes rather than social reality. We sit down with Andy West to talk about what happens when you bring big questions about freedom, identity, shame, and responsibility into a place designed for control. We explore Andy’s journey from HMP Belmarsh and other London prisons to therapeutic settings like HMP Grendon, and why he keeps returning to the classroom even when ...

Send us Fan Mail This episode we sit down with criminology lecturer and solicitor, Dr Bisi Akintoye, to talk about Black and Brown women within the UK criminal justice system and the importance of recognising intersectionality. We unpack how Black women and girls become invisible when policy and research default to frameworks built around either race or gender alone. That invisibility has consequences: victims of exploitation can be treated as suspects, safeguarding can be replaced by ...

Send us Fan Mail The law wants clean lines and final answers, but people live in grey areas. We sit down with Susie Miller, the playwright behind Inter Alia and the writer of Prima Facie, to unpack what “binary justice” does to real human stories and why courts can struggle when truth, trauma, and context refuse to fit a neat box. Drawing on her background in criminal defence and human rights law, Susie explains how the common law system can chase certainty like science, even when human behav...

112. Wing Tsun Masters - A women's self defence group

Rebel Justice ·

2026/03/25

Send us Fan Mail We went to a free women’s self-defence class run by Wing Tsun London in memory of Sarah Everard, and what stayed with us wasn’t bravado, it was clarity. Wing Tsun training makes “safety” feel less like a vague hope and more like a practical skill you can build, step by step, with your own body. We get into the roots of Wing Tsun Masters as a martial art and self-defence system with a history stretching back more than 300 years, including the tradition that it was shaped by a...

Send us Fan Mail Secret classrooms. A decades-long fight for a pardon. A church trying to reckon with slavery. We move through stories that show how justice is pursued when systems stall, deny, or look away and what resilience looks like when it has to be practical, not performative. We start by sharing reporting from The View magazine: Pro Su Hakim’s grassroots education initiative after the Taliban banned girls from school, and how secret schools and online classes keep learning aliv...

Send a text Education can be a turning point or a locked door, and too often we design universities to keep the “wrong” people out. We sit down with Anne-Marie Day and Rachel from Manchester Met to ask what higher education should do for people with lived experience of the justice system, and why scholarships are not a nice extra but a concrete part of decarceration, prevention, and reducing reoffending. We get specific about the obstacles justice-involved students face: disrupted schooling,...

We trace the rise of a student‑led pro bono centre determined to give women real access to justice—from survivors of domestic abuse and single mothers to refugees and women in custody—while exposing the hidden mechanics that keep help out of reach. Our guests share how early encounters with prison abuse and death‑penalty training cracked open a lifelong mission, and why specialist women’s servic...

2026/03/03

Send a text Justice doesn’t begin with a verdict; it starts in classrooms, homes, and everyday choices that shape who gets pulled into the system long before an arrest. We sit down with lawyer and educator Courtney Teasley to explore how prevention beats punishment when communities are armed with the right knowledge, resources, and strategy. Courtney traces a path from growing up in a disproportionately affected community to coaching mock trial teams and practising criminal defence for over ...

In this episode, we examine the systemic failures in women’s prison healthcare through a powerful conversation with human rights solicitor Rebecca Alonso. We explore how outsourced services, understaffing, and gender-blind medical systems leave women in pain, ignored, and without accountability. Drawing on lived experiences documented in The View magazine, we look at why the state’s duty of care cannot be out...

Amy shares her experience of losing her children for eight and a half months following a mental health crisis, and how that period informed the creation of Her Circle, a charity led by women with lived experience.

We sit down with legal advocates and a licensed psychotherapist to map a responsible route from stigma to structure—one that replaces the shadows of the underground with clarity, ethics, and care.

We sit down with Judith Moran, director of Quaker Social Action, to trace a journey from Victorian philanthropy to community-led solutions that protect dignity in the face of poverty, grief, and homelessness. Grounded in a clear definition of poverty as a lack of resources to meet minimum needs—including social participation—Judith shows how co-creation leads to services that work in the real...

We sit down with criminal defense barrister Kate Kelleher and the Criminal Bar Association’s James Rosseter to reveal how the Criminal Bar keeps fairness alive while the system strains at every seam. Kate maps the quiet collapse of camaraderie since the pandemic: fewer juniors, downsized chambers, and loose networks that used to provid...
