I bought this a while back, and it somehow got lost under a pile of subsequent purchases. A nice read so far. #prison #penology #criminology #art

This looks interesting for #prison and #penology scholars.

Thinking about the messages in this book and my training as a prison officer, and how although the course covered building rapport and "jailcraft", i don't recall talking about humanity, or treating prisoners as people.

I worked on the Social Exclusion Unit's 'reducing reoffending of ex prisoners' report back in 2000, in my first job after uni. Sadly none of the lessons have yet been learnt. We need a paradigm shift.

Prisons crisis needs ‘radical solutions’ in England and Wales, say former top judges Earlier release of killers and rapists on licence among the options suggested to potentially ease overcrowding

www.theguardian.com/society/arti...

Sadly they don't really mention stopping sending people to prison who don't need to be there, or investing in preventative measures to stop people getting involved in crime. Hoping Mr Timpson brings the changes we've needed my whole life
