Break Chains, Build Change
Re-write stories and futures
Our ability to carry out the work we do depends on a network of NGOs, patrons, peers and affiliates as well as new connections and recommendations being made by word-of-mouth.
Take part in our journey - supporting us helps give many people in the UK penal system the tools to express themselves and dramatically reshape their futures.
Let’s create a safer, more inclusive community — together.

behind bars
In 2008, 21-year-old Unchained founder, Lady Unchained got involved in a fight in a club trying to protect her sister.
​
Serving 11 months of her prison sentence, her life changed completely.
​
Inside, Lady Unchained began to write while battling isolation, loneliness and the fear of being wrongly deported.
​
These notes became powerful bars of poetry, capturing first-hand the broken justice system and the racism rooted within it.
​
Wide-awake poetry, Behind Bars traces how Lady Unchained's identity was irrevocably changed during her sentencing, time in prison and release.
​
Behind Bars proves there is life after prison.
