Female Prisoners In Russia

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Russia has one of the world's biggest prison populations; about 6% of these are women, and many are mothers. Putin recently proposed an amnesty on mothers in prison to try and reduce prison overcrowding - but is this a good idea? Also on the programme: A look at the children raised by wild animals - sorting the fact from fiction. Plus, women and DIY - why women are doing it for themselves!
