Women behind Bars: 1

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Edi Stark presents a new three-part series about life in Cornton Vale, Scotland's only prison just for women, which has earned the reputation of being the country's death-row jail.

Tricia describes her horror at finding her friend hanging in her cell; prison officer Colin Robertson talks about how he too is haunted by death; and chief inspector of prisons Clive Fairweather discusses the issue of prison suicide.
