Hangdog

Available for 114 days

by Cat Jones, winner of the 2011 Alfred Bradley Bursary Award with Glory Dazed. This is her first radio play. An up-and-coming detective who's a stickler for the rules has his certainties tested by the brutal realities of everyday prison life when he investigates the suicide of a young inmate. Why does this particular suicide warrant investigation at such a high level and who is really to blame for Hangdog's death? This gritty drama goes behind prison doors and looks at the unusual process of the investigation of a prison suicide. In 2012, Cat won a Butler Trust Award, recognising her contribution in improving experiences and opportunities for prisoners during her five years working in prisons. Produced and Directed by Sharon Sephton.
