FAMILY COURT HELL

With special guests...
Mark Harris, the English father who was jailed for waving at his daughters as they drove past in the family car, and author of a new book "Family Court Hell", a rare and unique insight into the secret British family court system.

"Family Court Hell" is one man's harrowing story of frustration and determination as he battled for access rights to his young daughters following the bitter break-up of his marriage. Incredibly, his was a journey that spanned almost ten years, with 133 hearings by 33 judges, and which reportedly cost the taxpayer over GBP1 million.

What should have been a "simple contact dispute" somehow resulted in this innocent family man effectively being criminalized by the family courts, resulting in a stretch on the A Wing of the infamous Pentonville prison, which housed convicted murderers, terrorists, gun runners and drug dealers.
