Another extraordinary thing about Shirley Williams. As prisons minister, in 1966, she wanted to find out what life was really like for women inside: so she persuaded the authorities to lock her up in Holloway on a pretended prostitution charge. Who would do that now?

What a fantastic day at Portland! The senior leadership team had the privilege to serve 106 members of staff their lunch today. What a great turn out from all our different departments! Thank you for everything you continue to do every day to keep everyone safe.

Thank you for the 80+ staff who took part in our #TimeToTalk event yesterday. It was great to share some goodies with everyone who is working so hard and to remind people of the value of checking in with each other and the support services we have available.

New book out edited by Jenny Schlosser about female scholars doing research in prisons, about the obstacles we face, why we chose this field, and about the women who have inspired us. Includes chapters by me, @AlisonLiebling @drkate_gooch @KerametR and many others...!

Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.

Thrilled with the announcement from the 2020 awards. To achieve 16 prizes from a range of categories including sculpting, painting and mixed media is a fantastic achievement for the men. It’s a testament to the new education facilities that opened in 2019. We are so proud of them

#Blackhistorymonth is about celebrating the contribution of persons of colour in the UK. Last night saw the first of our celebration menus expertly put together by some of our black residents who chose dishes that meant something to them

Today the fantastic team @HMPHewell are distributing over 900 application packs on the wings to launch our prison cooking competition. They'll be hosting 2 rounds of heats before the finalists cook their dish for the judges, with the winning dish ending up on a restaurant menu.

Leadership is not a rank or a position to be attained.
Leadership is a service to be given.

The loss of such an inspiration as Chadwick Boseman is a reminder how precious life is. Let his passing be a reminder to all of us to live like he did, to make every day worth living and to give so tirelessly to others.

All at Portland are looking forward to the appointment of the new Governor Mr Rob Luxford on Monday and we all know you will build on the foundations laid by @stevehodson123 and Alex Gilbertson who we also have to thank for all their efforts and hard work

Spot on - the restorative forums we held in 6 counties between the police & young people built bridges & shifted attitudes ... to see the humanity in each other is all. A critical point for successful interaction was the very first moment. We have films & research! More to do.
