Conversations on the Margins with Senator Lynn Ruane took us inside Ireland’s prison system, while the Bar of Ireland has an ongoing self-titled podcast series looking at various aspects to the legal system, past and present. Now we have On Probation, a six-episode podcast from the Probation Service, exploring the role of the service in building safer communities across Ireland. It’s responsible for the assessment and management of offenders in the community, providing services to adult and young offenders, in the community, in detention, and in custody.
The series is hosted by hosted by author, comedian, and Irish Examiner columnist Colm O’Regan, who talks with Probation Service staff, people with lived experience, victims, and key stakeholders, exploring a range of topics such as rehabilitation, reintegration, and restorative justice.
