Judge Nolan Locked Me Up For 2 Years On A Drugs Charge.. Even Though I Was Pregnant

Podcast Series Opinions Matter with Adrian & Jeremy

A posh southside mum gets a one-year sentence for a vicious, unprovoked hotel assault… and she’s back out the door after just four weeks. So Adrian and Jeremy ask the question nobody wants to answer: should mothers with young kids ever be jailed at all?

The row kicks off over Alison Chawke’s early release with TD Gary Gannon saying prison isn’t the place for women with children, and whether “low risk of reoffending” is a cop-out.

Callers go hard on two-tier justice, overcrowded prisons, tagging, and the victims left living with the long-term effects — while one former inmate mum gives a brutally honest view from the inside.
