Inside The Women's Prison Losing It

But when there are personality clashes and differing opinions, conflict might arise, and that's when inmates must learn how to manage their differences without bending the strict rules in prison. In the second episode of this three-part series, we witness how rumours spread "faster than Wi-Fi", causing disputes among inmates. With the help of her cellmates, Joanna tries to avoid self-harming. Separately, Halen has to try to control her temper to avoid getting a report from the officers. What does it take to hold it together in the women's prison? We track peer supporter Christeen as she manages the difficult younger inmates, and Haziqah as she tries to pull through a break-up with her fianc while incarcerated.
