What role does gender play in the complex world of prison food? To understand the subject further, Lucy catches up with Sophie, who was the very first person she spoke to about prison food when she set up Food Behind Bars in 2016. Sophie opens up about her time in prison and the impact food had on her physical and emotional wellbeing during her sentence. From weight gain to self esteem, emotional eating and homemade hooch, Lucy and Sophie get under the skin of the issue and try to understand why food is a female problem too.
