The spectacle of so many on the British right unpatriotically desperate for Starmer to fail and then Starmer spectacularly succeeding is worth bookmarking.

The important report of the independent sentencing review on history and trends in sentencing paves the way for the review to bring forward bold proposals in the spring to place our use of prison on a more sustainable and proportionate footing prisonreformtrust.org.uk/prt…
Great overview on trends to more punitive sentencing

Hiya all - working with a group of long serving men in prison who want to do something on the 'myths and realities of 'institutionalisation'''.. Can anyone recommend a good paper - not too jargon heavy .. or any other recourses they can access?
I don't need to tell people how good this open access journal is -
The latest edition of the Prison Service Journal is now available! This general edition includes articles on staff wellbeing, education and hope

Afternoon at HMP Isis putting 1st @giveabookorg
Read 100 onto the bookshelves on each wing. 1st 25 titles are informed by what the men have liked plus my suggestions. It's a pick and choose list to read at your own pace. Looking forward to what they choose for the next 25.
I was literally shouting this at the radio. Nick's response to prisoners being able to access basic means of hygiene and warmth, highlights the uphill struggle to change public attitudes/ beliefs that grim and austere conditions in prison IS NOT the punishment.

It was a pleasure to interview @TheLordFarmer about prisoners' contact with their families, the cost of calls from in-cell phones, and the gender gap in sentencing.

Good to see pretty well established folk talk honestly about the struggle of academic writing. One can sometimes trick oneself into thinking other folk bang out paragraphs and pages with ease. Outside of the shop floor, I've always struggled with a fair sense of productivity
