episode 3: The UK Justice System: Wendy Joseph KC and Dr Shahed Yousef
This week’s episode features two people with unique insights into the UK Justice System: Wendy
Joseph KC sat on cases in the Old Bailey for decades. In that time, she also mentored young people
and tried to demystify the way justice is served in this country. Dr Shahed Yousaf is a prison doctor,
who has worked for most of his career in Birmingham prisons with the most violent inmates. They
were joined on stage by Olwen Brown.
