Hadley Freeman, The Power of Crying, Staying in Touch with Children when you're in Prison

Hadley Freeman discusses the story of her Jewish relatives across the 20th century; also the power of crying and staying in touch with your children when you're in prison.

Hadley Freeman has written a memoir, House of Glass, the story of her Jewish relatives across the 20th century, her grandmother and great uncles who fled Poland for Paris after the anti-Jewish pogroms in 1918.
We discuss the pros and cons of crying particularly if you're in public.
What's it like trying to stay in touch with your children when you're in prison? And what happens when you're on the outside again? Jane talks to Kelly who is in a documentary about women in prison, and to the governor of the prison, HMP Foston Hall in Derbyshire.
