Norwich: From homelessness, drugs and sex work to motherhood

Five years ago, Jessy was homeless and working as a prostitute in Norwich to feed her heroin habit.

In hindsight, she believes prison was her saviour.

Clean of drugs for the past three years, she now has a home to call her own, a loving partner and a baby girl.
