'If I can do it, anyone can’

HMP Bronzefield inmates Mia & Lorraine speak about their education in prison which allowed them to move forward.

“I’m surprised at myself how far I’ve come,” Lorraine said.

One of the prison tutor’s Linda sees the benefits of education from behind bars to the outside world.

“People think literacy is reading and writing, it’s not, it’s a life skill,” she said.
