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.
