This quote about #prison visiting is 30 years old, but could have been said yesterday.

#families supporting a person in prison have faced difficulties with cost, travel, poverty and maintaining relationships for decades

This is a not-to-be-missed lecture by the woman who not only until recently led @CYCJScotland but started the conversation about rights respecting approaches for children as young people who offend. @CrimSocPol @HaSSGradSchool @StrathHaSS

[MSc Criminology and Social Policy @CrimSocPol]

Thanks - again - to our amazing students. Today's session was fab! This is an event NOT to be missed. It connects us to Lecture 7 on the rise of carcerality and to imperialism and colonialism.
