BREAKING THE CHAIN

In today’s Britain a chain of crime, punishment, release and reoffending wastes lives, costs the country billions and pushes a stretched prison system beyond breaking point. That chain of despair can be broken – this series of three one-hour films shows how.

In three linked stories we meet inspired individuals, enlightened businesses, determined activists and ex-offenders themselves who are working to break the chain.

We meet inspirational leaders. See how Timpson or XO Bikes get the job done and meet thinkers like Alastair Campbell, Sir Brian Leveson and Idris Elba all intent on Breaking the Chain.
