Paul English is an international consultant on penal reform and has been doing this work since 1997. He has worked for United Nations agencies and reform groups. Today he shares with us his experience of working in countries such as Uganda, Lebanon and Nigeria. Paul discusses the issues their prisons face such as lack of resources for rehabilitation efforts, lack of food for incarcerated people and sometimes difficulties in knowing where staff’s next paycheck is coming from. However, it’s clear from what Paul shares that these countries are doing their best to make a positive difference in the lives of their incarcerated population.
