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…

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…
