This has the potential to be an incredible appointment.
He speaks a lot of sense, from my perspective being from a family where the men tend to go to prison.
I hope he gets the full backing in his role to implement the changes we need, it could be a game changer.
Watch this itās fascinating - I asked James Timpson what heād do about prisons and sentencing if he was in charge. He believes only a third of prisoners in jail should definitely be there. Heās now in charge of prisons (but not sentencing).
