Where the public sets the agenda
Let the Prisoner Speak
Three deeply personal and disturbing accounts of the experience of imprisonment. A Woman in Custody reveals Audrey Peckham 's nightmare five months on remand. 'I needed proper
Psychiatric care ... all they were concerned about was preventing me from causing trouble by committing suicide....'
Life After Life - after ten years in prison Anne Lindsay faces a constant threat of being put back inside.
'I find it very hurtful ... in bureaucratic terms I am officially seen as a risk ... no matter how much I prove myself.'
The Sentence Never Ends tells how Des Warren went to jail and came out scarred by the experience. 'This is the part of British life that people don't know about. So many People have been ruined and had their lives shattered in prison....'
Written and conceived by ALAN CARTER

A view of world history in 13 Parts by JOHN ROBERTS 3: The Heart of the West
Europe was the cradle of Western civilisation. But how did Europe come into being?
How did Europe come to provide the base for a culture which would one day change the world? Why not India, or China? Why was Europe the joker in the historical pack? John Roberts describes how, after Rome fell to the Barbarians, the power and glamour of Rome lived on - not just in the Church but as an idea in the minds of men. It is a story which includes Charlemagne, St Benedict, Martin Luther and it tells how Christianity became the channel through which so much came down from ancient Israel and the Classical past, and how eventually Christendom became Europe - poised to launch its world conquests.
