Two ex-offenders talk about the problems people face after being released from prison.
The podcast is funded by charity The Prison Radio Association, with topics such as convictions, finding accommodation and employment tips all being covered.
"We always hear from a professional that works in an organisation or charity and they provide direct answers to questions we get," Jules says.Inmates have access to Prison Radio, with it broadcasting 24/7 to inmates in more than 100 prisons across England and Wales."I think you need help when you're in there because you're not around your family or friends," she says.And she believes a lack of help is one of the reasons why people re-offend.
National Prison Radio points out that Zak and Jules have both served their sentences and, in their view, are "now doing a job that is giving back to society"."If you have a loved one or friend who has spent time inside, this will help you understand their journey," he says. On a personal level, Zak says it's helped his relationship with his mum, who has featured on an episode.
"It opened a dialogue for me and her to talk about our experience because that's something we've never talked about before.""You think no-one understands you, so you don't talk about it.
