Natasha founded Unlocked Graduates in 2016. It aims to encourage university graduates to work as a prison officer in England for two years, while gaining a masters degree. They are challenged to create new ideas around improving the way prisons work. Today, Natasha speaks about why she founded Unlocked Graduates and what the programme entails. Max is a prison officer and he discusses how he decided to join Unlocked Graduates after they attended his university and his Reticular Activating System started seeing them everywhere.
