A Scottish Dad Locked up in a Mexican Prison! Ep25

In this powerful episode of Voice for Dads, we’re joined remotely by Morris, a Scotsman speaking to us from inside a Mexican prison. Morris moved to Mexico around 20 years ago and built a life there. But following a long and difficult custody battle involving his two children and his former wife, his life took a dramatic turn. For the past three years, Morris says he has been held on remand in Mexico over allegations of attempted murder against his ex-wife — allegations he strongly denies and maintains were fabricated. Despite spending three years behind bars, he says he is still waiting for his case to go to trial, with no clear indication of when that will happen. Speaking to us directly from prison, Morris tells his story in his own words: the breakdown of his relationship, the battle to remain in his children’s lives, the allegations against him, his experience of the Mexican justice system, and what it is like to live day after day in prison without knowing when — or how — his case will finally be resolved. It’s a remarkable and deeply personal conversation about fatherhood, family separation, allegations, imprisonment and the fight to maintain hope when your future is uncertain. This is Morris’s story, told from inside a Mexican prison.
