90 Minutes of Freedom - Jamie Grundy
Jamie Grundy is a former soccer coach, educator, and writer.
He is the author of ‘90 Minutes of Freedom’, which follows HMP Prescoed FC—the only prisoner football team in Wales—through a single season in Gwent Central Division 2. The book was written with the support of National Sporting Heritage as an exploration of how sport can assist in the rehabilitation efforts of prisoners.
On this episode, Gideon and Richard discuss the origins of the project, the process Jamie went through for his research, and some of the unique aspects of playing football inside an open prison.
