Today on the podcast. We're joined by Rhonda Hāpi-Smith - A female prison officer and member of the Riot Squad, she met and worked with thieves, addicts, gangsters, murderers, and sex offenders for nearly twenty years in men's prisons around the country.

Operating within an unspoken set of codes, Rhonda built a reputation for herself as fair but firm. She dealt with everything from mass riots and inter-gang hits to attempted escapes, suicides and segregated 'maxi' detainees.

She is an absolute weapon and was also on the hunt for a new nickname and we were more than happy to oblige!
