#095 - David Shipley - Rediscovering The Rod Of Justice: The Radical Changes Britain's Justice System Needs
Description
David Shipley is a writer, campaigner, has worked as a consultant prison inspector, and is the author of the Substack Shipley Writes. David's work has appeared in The Spectator, The Sunday Times and The Telegraph.
In this episode, David and I think out loud about his remarkable life journey: from a career in corporate finance to serving time in prison for fraud, and ultimately becoming a leading advocate for prison reform, how the prison system has morally decayed, why this decline reflects the wider influence of a morally relativistic, hyper-liberal, non-judgemental culture, and what real rehabilitation might look like in practice, why David supports the reintroduction of the death penalty in the United Kingdom, the dangers posed by Islamic gangs and extremism within prisons, and the daily challenges faced by prison staff, the transformative role of faith in his life, his conviction that England can once again be made safe in an age of rising criminality, and why truth-telling and courage are essential to building a more just society and much, much more.
Enjoy the show, Classmates.
