Scars in the Marble: Justice, Power, and Those Who Resist
Leading with resilience: One Woman's Fight for Truth Inside a Closed SystemBy Bronwyn Hendry
Length6h 37m
About this audiobook
Prisons are closed environments. That closure is necessary for security — but it also creates conditions where harm can be hidden, minimised, and normalised. Harm to prisoners. Harm to staff. Harm that travels home in the nervous system of every person who walks through those gates and tries to leave the job at the door. Bronwyn Hendry spent years as a custodial officer inside that world. She entered with the values she had been raised with — a country woman's conviction that decency was its own protection, that hard work would be recognised, that integrity would shield her. She was wrong on all three counts.What she encountered instead was a culture built on loyalty over truth, silence over accountability, and the quiet management of anyone who refused to accept that this was simply how things were. She encountered a circle — of protection, of complicity, of carefully maintained ignorance — and she found herself, without choosing it, on the outside of it.
