A curious lawyer’s journey to justice – Iain Smith - Compassionate Prisons Conference 2022

What might Scotland’s prison community look like if it had compassion at its core? What would it take for awareness of adverse childhood experiences and relational trauma to be woven into all of its practices and policies? What transformation might it mean for the people who live and work within prison walls? What might it mean for the families and friends who love those individuals? These are the questions that were explored at the Compassionate Prisons Conference held in Glasgow in June 2022. This event is the third major gathering held by ACE Aware Scotland, and we were delighted to be joined by 400 delegates from a wide range of sectors. This video features the presentation delivered by Iain Smith, partner at Keegan Smith Criminal Defence Lawyers. Iain has gained a reputation as one of the leading voices in Scotland in moving the legal profession to an awareness of how childhood trauma affects behaviour. His talk, entitled ‘A curious lawyer’s journey to justice’, provides a clear account of how he came to be concerned about childhood trauma and why he is so insistent that we stop allowing Scottish culture to overlook it.
