The history of Chaplains and the British Penitentiary system. Jacqueline McCloy

Our second episode considering the place of faith and religion in a prison system, this time in the UK. As well as reminding us how big a part transportation played in our criminal justice system, Jacqueline looks at the meaning and role of pastoral care and how faith provides a direction and an opportunity for many.

Having graduated from the University of Aberdeen with a first class honours Masters of Art in Theology & Religious Studies (2021), Jacqueline is now further researching the effect of religion/spirituality on the posttraumatic growth of criminal offenders in the U.K and their desistance from crime.
