#295: Renee Williams Interview - Part 2

This week we finish our talk with Jim’s friend and colleague Renee Williams who is Executive Director of the National Center for the Victims of Crime in Washington D.C.

Renee talks about prison reform, and how some victims might surprise us in what they want for offenders. She also mentions her partnership with Van Jones’ Dream Corps. Laura brings up the horrific case of Colleen Stan who was held prisoner in a box for seven years. Jim talks about the problems with recidivism.

Please support Laura's campaign for serial domestic abusers and stalkers to be proactively, identified, assessed and managed by police, probation and prison services across the UK. Please sign and share the petition:
