where the public sets the agenda The Women of Durham Jail with Joanne Allen , Rosalind Ayres Selena Carey-Jones and Paola Dionisotti
Durham Jail, prison population approximately 1,000 men -and 35 women. The women are locked up in H Wing, a maximum security unit originally opened for the Train Robbers then closed - for men - on the grounds that it was inhumane and 'unsuitable for long-term imprisonment'.
So what kind of woman need to be contained behind three sets of bars under 24-hour electronic surveillance? In this programme, some of them speak for themselves through their writings and their letters.
Director MARION MCDOUGALL Producer JANE OLIVER Made by the COMMUNITY PROGRAMME UNIT with the CLOSE H WING CAMPAIGN

Producer DAVID GEEN Editor COLIN ADAMS BBC Manchester
"Juggernaut: from the Sanskrit jagannatha (Vishnu, lord of the world), 'an incarnation beneath whose car devotees were supposed to fling themselves' - hence 'car of juggernaut' stands for any relentless destroying force or object of devotion and sacrifice.
