Unfortunately, Mia’s jet-set career has seriously stalled. The truth is, she’s bankrupt, pushing 40 and struggling to find somewhere to sleep. Now Mia is on the run, mainly from herself. Upon her return home, she realises that her friends and family come with their own complications; it’s not quite the champagne reception she was hoping for. Eventually, she’ll have to accept her new reality but until then, it’s going to be a little bumpy for Mia – and everyone in her orbit.

Prison Project: Little Scandinavia

Sunday, 15 September at 8.30pm

How can a US correctional facility adapt to more humane principals and methods? Can Scandinavian incarceration practices, values and theories work inside an American prison? And what will a US adaptation look like?

One central goal of Scandinavian correctional practices is to make good neighbours out of every inmate. In practice, this means treating every inmate with respect and dignity. Inspired by the philosophies of a larger degree of privacy, humanity and integrity, SCI Chester in Pennsylvania implements this in a living unit that is dubbed Little Scandinavia. The real input of new ideas and methods comes from a visit to correctional facilities in Sweden and Norway in June 2019, where key staff work for three weeks to observe and learn how prisons in Scandinavia are run, with normality and humanity as core values.
