Hannah Shead, CEO of Trevi House, talks to one of their residents about her experience of the criminal justice system. In the UK, maternal imprisonment affects 17,000 children in England and Wales each year, with only 5% remaining in the maternal home. Trevi House’s mission is to, wherever safely possible, avoid separation of mother and child. The mum in this film talks about her hopes for the future, and her confidence about what life may now offer. She is leaving Trevi House having had the opportunity to address her underlying issues and learn more positive coping mechanisms, all whilst having her child in her care.
