Reforming prisoners through optometry

After optometrist Tanjit Dosanjh's own father was imprisoned for
a serious criminal offence 2003, he knew that he wanted to do all
he could to change the lives of those entering the system. He
used his own knowledge and skills to set up The Prison Optician
Trust, which provides offenders with training in optics and a
brighter future away from crime. He believes that other
professions should do the same.


In this episode, Daniel talks to Tanjit and one of his trainees -
an ex-offender who has just qualified as a dispensing optician,
and who now has a thriving career in optics.
