Safe Place

Wintergreen Hall at HMP & YOI Stirling houses women with complex mental health problems. Linda and April are two prisoners struggling with trauma while seeking stability.

This episode explores Wintergreen Hall, a specialised unit in HMP & YOI Stirling for women with complex mental health problems.

Linda and April are two prisoners who struggle with severe emotional and psychological challenges while seeking stability in prison life.

Linda, a repeat offender, views prison as a safe haven, fearing the outside world, where she has little support. Prison provides her with structure, routine and access to mental health care. She finds solace in her emotional support toy dog and earns a promotion within the hall, offering her a sense of achievement. However, a fear of release threatens her progress.

Battling past trauma and addiction, April prepares for release with therapy and life skills training. She fears relapsing, but remains determined to change. As she leaves, Linda struggles with her absence, dreading her own future outside.
