Proving there is life after prison one poem at a time

While serving a prison sentence, Lady Unchained was constantly told that she would never amount to anything. Instead of giving up on herself, she began to write poetry, channelling her pain into creative expression. After her release, inspired by her mission to prove there is life after prison, she founded Unchained Poetry, a platform for artists with experience of the criminal justice system. Through her work, Lady Unchained wants to prove that it’s possible to move on from a traumatic past and take steps to becoming unchained for good.
