🚨 For the first time ever, the number of people in prison hit 5,002.

The Government’s approach to relieving the pressures on the bulging prison system is clearly failing. A comprehensive reform of the criminal justice system is needed.

@judy_magill2 Thanks Judy! It was really lovely to see you last week 🙂

[Dr Colette Barry @ColetteBarry]

@MooreL13 Oh she’d be a menace I’m sure! Looking forward to seeing you 🙂

[Dr Colette Barry @ColetteBarry]

Looking forward to heading to the North/South Criminology Conference tomorrow. Got the final approval on my paper from my fluffy research assistant. She’s predictably sceptical, but wishes me luck anyways #BelfastCrimCon

[Dr Colette Barry @ColetteBarry]

@ColemanDennehy We all need a fluffy assistant to keep us in check!

[Irish Penal Reform Trust @IPRT]

Overcrowding should be addressed by a safe and planned reduction of the prison population, rather than prison expansion.

We know the solutions - and have done for decades! We need to prioritise implementing them before turning to more prison spaces.

'Today’s announcement of additional funding ensures we have a plan to grow the size of our prison estate for the first time in a decade.'

This is very much counter to policy for the past decade or more, and is not something a govt should be so happy to announce.

[Dr Colette Barry @ColetteBarry]

Avoiding Twitter has made me a bit late to this wonderful news. So delighted for my truly brilliant friend Louise. This should shoot to the top of everyone’s TBR list!

[Louise Brangan @Louise_Brangan]

Magdalene laundries subjected women and girls to the most excessive abuses. I have always known about them. And I always wanted to know why. This book is a culmination of that project, of that needing to understand. It’s such a privilege to bring it to life with these publishers
