8th October 2014 | The KPH
For Salon Does Punishment we’ll be taking a good look at the facts of rehabilitation. Government Forensic Psychologist Dr Ruth Mann is tasked with evaluating punishment and treatment, and has devised many of prison programmes currently running today, particularly those for sex offenders. Hear the evidence: are they deserved, how do they work, and what can they achieve?
We’ll have Katy Emck from Fine Cell Work, Kary’s organisation trains prisoners, giving them the ability to develop skills and earn a wage through the surprising medium of high-end needlework. Hear what happens when prison becomes the place to pick up new skills, and prisoners are able to support their families from the inside.
We’re also going to take a look at the gruesome history of Britain’s hangmen, the subject of Radio 4 comedian and writer Wil Hodgon’s hit Edinburgh show ‘You Will be Taken from This Place.’ He’ll certainly be taken to the Salon stage to deliver the true histories of those tasked by the state until 1964 to deliver the ultimate punishment.
That’s right - £12 to have your mind blown. 8th October, we’re in West London for Punishment, upstairs in the Theatre Bar at KPH, very near Ladbroke Grove Doors 7pm, begins at 7:30pm.
