24. Lady Ranapiri-Kupa - Breaking Intergenerational Cycles of Imprisonment

In this episode I talk to Lady Ranapiri Kupa of Prison Fellowship Aotearoa, aka He Korowai Whakapono.  Lady oversees people and programmes that really get alongside families of people who have experienced prison to help to break the generational cycle of imprisonment. 

We talk about the tamariki and whānau, about mana, dignity, shame, restoration, and seeing people as people. We look at the programmes PFA run and the kaupapa (reason for being) of the programmes and the organisation.
