Hosts opinions often lack awareness
19 September 2023
Finding host Raphael's dialogue with the prisoners interesting he does well establishing rapport but his comments afterwards lack awareness - is he is just lacking anything better to say so says any old criticism he can think of?

For example about one prison who allows people to choose to access services not doing enough seems to have a complete lack of awareness of the process people go through when making change and how in rehabilitation such as with addictions they often need to be at rock bottom and ready to make change and choose for themselves / they cannot be forced to change (they will just stop immediately once no one is standing there over them) but he wants them to force rehabilitation.

Another example is how he describes another group being required to take part in taking care of the little things such as keeping their own space clean (sweeping up or cleaning) being "meaningless" and "menial" - failing to recognizing that learning to take pride in caring for yourself and your little space around you is a tiny but important foundation of routine and change for someone who has had no upbringing that teaches them to value these things.
