With very rare access, forensic psychiatrist Gwen Adshead gives her third Reith Lecture inside Grendon prison, in England, where she talks to a small number of prisoners and staff, and asks the question: Does trauma cause violence? Does being a victim of violence, in some circumstances, make you more likely to become a perpetrator of violence? *The Reith Lectures originally aired on BBC Radio 4.

In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., the hosts discuss the third of four Reith lectures by forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Gwynne Adshead, focusing on the relationship between trauma and violence. Recorded live at Grendon Prison, a unique therapeutic facility in Buckinghamshire that houses around 200 male prisoners, many serving life sentences for serious crimes, the lecture examines whether trauma leads to violence. Dr. Adshead explores various themes including the Menendez brothers' case, the ACE (Adverse Childhood Experiences) study, and the biological and psychological impacts of chronic stress. She delves into how early trauma affects brain development and discusses the concept of epigenetics—how trauma can alter gene expression. The podcast also highlights a Q&A session with the prisoners at Grendon, revealing their personal insights and reflections on trauma and behavior. Dr. Adshead emphasizes the importance of protective factors like strong social connections and community support in mitigating the effects of trauma. Additionally, the discussion touches on gender roles and societal expectations in the context of violent behavior. The episode provides a comprehensive look at the complex interplay between trauma and violence, advocating for empathy and rehabilitation over mere punishment.00:00 Introduction to Dr. Gwynne Adshead's Lecture00:23 Grendon Prison: A Unique Setting00:56 The Menendez Brothers Case02:08 The ACE Study and Its Findings03:40 Biological Impacts of Trauma05:14 Psychological Impacts and Mentalizing07:59 Gender Roles and Violence09:08 Q&A Session with Grendon Prisoners10:06 Introduction to Grendon Prison10:16 Unique Approach to Rehabilitation11:00 Challenges and Attrition Rates11:22 Prisoners' Questions and Insights11:51 Impact of Domestic Violence13:17 Gender Differences in Coping15:12 Therapeutic Approaches at Grendon15:40 The Role of Human Connection16:22 Resource Constraints and Future of Prisons17:18 Rehabilitation and Transition18:19 Final Thoughts on Criminal Justice19:41 Conclusion and Call to Action Hosted on Acast.

Thoughts and lessons from the book of Lamentations. Some questions to ponder on: 1. In times of suffering have you retreated from God or have you run towards Him? 2. Do you know God's love and presence? Passage: Lamentations 3:1-24

Dr. Judy Mackenzie, a retired psychiatrist and psychotherapist with extraordinary experience, discusses her career in working with therapeutic communities in prisons. She worked at HMPs Glen Parva, Aylesbury, Grendon, Gartree and Dovegate. She shares her passion for storytelling and the importance of understanding people's stories in therapy. Dr. Mackenzie talks about her experience starting the first therapeutic community for young offenders in HM Young Offender Institution, Glen Parva, and the challenges she faced in maintaining its success. She also discusses the dynamics and conflicts that can arise within prison therapeutic community teams and the importance of addressing and processing these tensions constructively. Dr. Mackenzie shares her views on the effectiveness of therapeutic communities and the need for a psychodynamic approach and a sense of community and belonging. She also briefly explains psychosynthesis psychotherapy and how it incorporates transpersonal elements. Finally, she reflects on the toll that working in the prison system can take and the importance of self-care. Keywords therapeutic communities, prisons, storytelling, psychotherapy, Glen Parva, conflicts, psychodynamic approach, community, psychosynthesis psychotherapy, self-care Key points; Therapeutic communities in prisons provide a supportive and transformative environment for offenders. Addressing and processing conflicts within therapeutic community teams is crucial for their effectiveness. A psychodynamic approach and a sense of community and belonging are essential in therapeutic communities. Psychosynthesis psychotherapy incorporates transpersonal elements and focuses on understanding the state of the soul. Working in the prison system can take a toll, and self-care is important for maintaining emotional balance.

Mary Haley was until very recently Head of Psychotherapy at HMP Grendon the only fully therapeutic prison in the UK and which incidentally celebrates its 60th anniversary in 2022. She is now Head of Training and Development also at Grendon. We are very pleased to be talking with Mary because she has had an unusual career pathway working in different roles within the prison service. These roles include prison officer, governor, inreach psychotherapist and wing therapist on a therapeutic community.

This is one of our favorite conversations. Kevin Leggett spent many years working with young offenders at Aylesbury and Huntercombe, and he was deputy governor at HMP Grendon during a period of great change when there was a serious escape. Kevin talks about these times with great warmth and humour and his descriptions of connection with his charges provide a real insight into the meaning of relational working.   Kevin Leggett is a now retired prison governor with over thirty years service. Although originally from Durham he began his career as a prison officer at the young offenders establishment Aylesbury and subsequently worked at the prisons Bullingdon, The Mount, Grendon (where I first met Kevin) and Huntercombe as well as having execurive roles for the implementation of policies in the south of England.'

On today's episode is former armed robber and war-zone photographer Tam Carrigan. Crime was normalised from a young age for Tam, with childhood memories of visiting his father in prison and it being a common occurrence in the area he grew up in. Things gradually got more serious as he got older, graduating from car theft to armed robberies.  Despite this, from a young age Tam was looking for a way to escape all of this, even trying to join the British army and later spending a year with the French Foreign Legion. He also spent a number of years abroad in the Middle East, and had dreams of leaving a life of crime to become a photographer in various war-zone areas there.  However, the lure of crime and the need to earn a living eventually led Tam astray again, and he would end up being sentenced to a long stint in prison for his part in a large-scale bank robbery in Torquay in the south of England.  It was in prison where Tam finally decided to turn his life around for good, opting to go to Grendon which is a therapeutic prison focussing more on reforming criminals rather than simply punishment. Since leaving prison Tam has become involved in a number of incredible projects both in the UK and in the Middle East, helping to create safe spaces which allow disadvantaged children to play and enjoy themselves.  It truly is an inspirational story of change that just goes to show, no matter how far you think you've gone, there is always a way back.

Rhodes is professor emeritus at the University of Washington, where she taught medical and institutional anthropology.  She is the author of Emptying Beds: The Work of an Emergency Psychiatric Unit (University of California Press 1991) and Total Confinement: Madness and Reason in the Maximum Security Prison (University of California Press 2004).  She has published several articles about HMP Grendon, where she spent a month conducting research in 2008. Every working day she went to B wing therapeutic community, attending community meetings and talking with staff and residents. This conversation looks at this experience and compares it with research done at a high secure unit in a prison in Washington State.

The 3rd and final part of a conversation with Terry Ellis.    Terry talks about his first group therapy session at Grendon, going back to a mainstream prison from Grendon with a new perspective and what he's doing now.   www.conversationswithcriminals.com The link to Terry's book is below : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grendons-Therapy-Mr-Terry-Ellis/dp/B08C96QPT7 Follow Terry on Social Media Twitter : https://twitter.com/TerryEllis992 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/terry.ellis.96155 Instagram : TerryEllis992 

Part 2 of a conversation with Terry Ellis. It continues with Terry talking about being on the run for 9 months after a robbery, his decision to go to Grendon, the therapeutic prison that holds some of the most dangerous prisoners in the UK. He talks about his opinion of the inmates there and the reason that he stayed. www.conversationswithcriminals.com The link to Terry's book is below : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Grendons-Therapy-Mr-Terry-Ellis/dp/B08C96QPT7 Follow Terry on Social Media Twitter : https://twitter.com/TerryEllis992 Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/terry.ellis.96155 Instagram : TerryEllis992 

Terry Ellis could so easily have written a book about being an armed robber and spending many years in prison. Even if he wrote the more conventional “gangster” style autobiography, it would have made a fascinating read. But he didn't and this is just one of the reasons why I found him such a compelling person to listen to. The book that he chose to write is incredible. It's about his time at Grendon (a therapeutic prison) alongside prisoners who have committed the most extreme crimes imaginable. Anyone who has ever wondered if it's possible for someone to change should read his book and listen to this podcast. The podcast is in three parts. In the first of these, we talk about Terry's upbringing and how he climbed through the ranks of the criminal underworld. He explains his “warped sense of self worth”, why you have to be an idiot to do robberies and how his first attempt at rehabilitation failed.

Restorative Justice schemes are increasingly playing a role within the Criminal Justice System. They are designed to confront the criminal with the consequences of his or her actions. Sometimes they involve a meeting between the victim and the offenders, where victims can give their perspective on what has happened and offenders can seek forgiveness. Many religious groups believe that Restorative Justice principles resonate with their traditions. Joining Ernie to discuss Restorative Justice are Pavan Dhilowal, Head of Public Affairs at the British Humanist Society and former policy head at a think tank specialising in criminal justice; Khola Hassan, Media Representative at the Islamic Sharia Council; and Tim Newell former Governor of Grendon, a therapeutic prison.

Claudia Hammond visits HMP Grendon, the only prison in Europe which operates wholly as a therapeutic community. More than nine out of ten prisoners at Grendon are serving indeterminate sentences for murder or serious violent offences. Inmates have to apply for a place and once approved undergo intensive group therapy three times a week for well over a year. Claudia talks to inmates, therapists and prison staff to find out how the prison operates and how its unique environment aims to reduce reoffending rates.

This is the Radio Broadcast from 1/20 with an AM news station out of Boston that picked up Grendon's story.
