Caroline was released from prison with low hopes for the future. Then she met a probation officer from a surprising background and with her support she built a successful life for herself. Caroline is now a co-researcher on a research project being run by Liverpool John Moores University and the Universities of Nottingham, Sheffield and Southampton looking at the future of probation services.

Professor Lawrence Burke (Lol Burke) is a Professor in Criminal Justice at Liverpool John Moores University and previously worked as a probation practitioner.

A further two episodes will be released later in the year.
