This week: Punished Women
Lillian Baker, expecting a baby, Is jailed for a motoring offence. A national outcry follows. More than a thousand women a year are sent to prison in this country, and when they are released the law is satisfied. But does their punishment end with release? Does the stigma of a prison cell go with them into the outside world? In five cases tonight, Man Alive sets out to discover what happens when women who have been punished in the name of the law are set free.

This is a play about guns, and so it is set in today's army. That's where young men who have used water pistols, air guns, and been to cowboy films come face to face with reality.
