This week we bring you Fran Fattore. Fran is one of the women photographed by Gavin Smith  for The View’s Someone’s Daughter campaign. Our Someone’s Daughter Campaign consists of women in the justice system who have been affected through committing crimes, as victims or activists or by practising as judges or barristers. Seventeen portraits from our Someone’s Daughter Exhibition are at Peter Dench’s Photo North Festival from Saturday 7 to Monday 9  May at the Bonded Warehouse in Manchester.
You can read an article by Fran in the View Magazine from Spring 2021, Rebel Justice in which she described how she found life in prison during the Covid pandemic and the difficulties of the restrictions placed on her.  She also described what life was like for her immediately post release.

Temi Fajemesin, one of the View’s student volunteers from UCL in London caught up with Fran a year later to see how life was treating her  and how she was navigating resettlement and her way through life post prison and post pandemic
