Our discussion event yesterday was the most profound yet. 26 diverse attendees, with SO’s discussing their employment journeys/barriers, victims discussing their views, and HMPPS staff disclosing to their manager, online during our meeting, about being an ex-prisoner. Love it 😍

Prisoners can't vote, and too often they're silenced. I hope hundreds take this opportunity to have their say when it counts on a subject they're experts in. #SentencingReview
On page 1 of our December issue, we inform our readers in prison how they can take part in the public consultation on the @DavidGauke @MoJGovUK sentencing review. Because no-one knows the criminal justice system better than those at its sharp end. buff.ly/40V4eyU

I see that Ian Bickers, the London regional prisons director, announced on LinkedIn last week that he had resigned from the prison service but does not have a role to go to. He was a man of great integrity and experience.

We can send man to the moon - but a consistent Wi-Fi signal on a cross-country train, nope, not likely!
Gave up on working on a train as @CrossCountryUK wifi really isn’t up to much.

It’s inhumane and madness-inducing to keep people without a release date - behaviour WILL NEVER improve under those conditions - therefore the vicious cycle continues of no release date for the sake of ‘public protection’ at the expense of the public purse…

The truth will always come out in the end - congratulations New Leaf, Justice has prevailed!
If you hire ex-prisoners, like I do, you might expect to have to go to court to reclaim money they stole from you occasionally. Today I won my case against a dishonest former employee... He was the only person in the company without any prior convictions.

Wow - to be compared to the Oscars and the Brits is quite something - perhaps next years sponsorship will cover some much needed tech support - a definite weakness of this years conference and awards. Glad you all enjoyed it nonetheless - we LOVE having you all. See you in 2023!

'If the prisoner visit goes well, prisons tend to be calmer, it's a no-brainer in that way. Plus if we can begin to learn what's leading to a hot-pot of tensions on the wing, even better' - Lucy Wainwright at the New Leaf conference @NetworkNewLeaf youtube.com/watch?v=B29AKPMo…
