I鈥檓 a single mother of 2 and live in Redditch. I used to listen to roots rock reggae on 成人论坛 WM every Saturday 鈥 and then in 1993 an opportunity arose to answer the phones for the programme. I joined 成人论坛 WM and fast became a real part of the team - not only answering the phones, but also researching items. I used to read out letters on air - and one day someone from jail wrote in. The presenter at that time, Coral Chapman, invited anyone in prison to drop us a line. Slowly folk started to write in and I used to read out their letters on air - that part of the show become known as "Tracey鈥檚 lockdown letters". Then an inmate from HMP Brockhill suggested we call it "Tracey鈥檚 Jailmail". Jailmail went from strength to strength. In 2001, Keith Beech, the editor of WM, decided that Jailmail could be a show in it's own right 鈥 giving it a one hour slot on a Friday night at midnight. As of 7th July 2006 鈥淛ailmail鈥 was extended to a 2 hour show. My passion musically is reggae and that is the basis of my show. I鈥檓 also passionate about the problems faced by the silent victims of crime - namely the children of prisoners. I鈥檝e held two charity functions in HMP Brockhill raising money for the NSPCC and Lupus. Here鈥檚 to the last 12 years on 成人论坛 WM and looking forward to the next 12 鈥 hopefully! You can join me every Friday straight after the midnight headlines for "Tracey鈥檚 Jailmail" - a letter based programme for inmates and their families.
