This is a 20-minute teaser of my full conversation with Iain Smith, released as this month's bonus episode. Subscribe here for $3.85 to listen to the full discussion and all monthly bonus episodes.

Iain was a prison officer in Australia for 15 years until 2020. He tells us about a number of experiences he had, from working with a prisoner who was involved in 55 self-harm or behavioural incidents over a 4-month period to a prisoner who was convicted of driving his truck into a bar after being denied alcohol, killing multiple people.
