Life After Prison The Spark: Jen Joseph

The Spark is a brand new strand of Life After Prison, where Jules speaks to women who have been through the CJS about The Spark they found which set them on a path of transformation and change.

In this episode Jules meets the actor, Jennifer Joseph. Jen talks about some of the work she’s proudest of, such as the Donmar Shakespeare Trilogy, and Kae Tempest’s Paradise. They also chat about some of the TV work Jen has been involved with, such as Netflix’s Top Boy, and winning Come Dine With Me.

Jen and Jules chat candidly about prison, from initially being arrested and sentenced, to the impact prison had not only on Jen, but on her family too. We hear how Jen discovered theatre after prison, and the impact this has had on her life since release.
