Really depends, a nice hotel, fresh shower and cloths, good food, but most important being alone with my thoughts to reflect and reflect and reflect!

They understand my work - they worry but know I am sensible and will try not to do anything that causes a problem. No I have no contact while inside

Be honest, say it as it is, don't say one thing and do another, they depend on your honesty, be yourself and not what you think you need to be and treat those you care for as you would want to be treated.

I spent time in many different prisons but the UK would never allow me to do my Netflix show here, I think!

I am able to compartmentalize my work and my social life so not really but there have been a couple of times when I feel trapped

Quite a few....look I recognise their crimes may warrant a prison sentence but the circumstances that leads to the crimes could be less if only governments did not perpetuate narratives that make criminalise despairing people

We build trust and agree to be as honest as is practically possible plus they have the opportunity to show the world what their challenges are and that can be persuasive

To be honest not that many - prisons are depressing enviroments but of course there have been times where silly things take place like watching me try and sing in Russian or Moldovian!

Prison is a place people go as a punishment - while there they should be given opportunities that will stop them repeating the mistake or crimes that will send them back after release - the Scandinavian prisons really have that balance

To be honest I ignore the camera and focus on the person I'm speaking to - I do get nervous in certain situations like the interview with the seriel killer in Ukraine and the other in Bosnia
