In England and Wales, 143 people per 100,000 are in prison. In the Netherlands it is 65, and in Germany 67. We are not an obviously more violent or crime-ridden society than either of them – which suggests that there are many people in British prisons who need not be there.
“A female inmate remained handcuffed to a male prison officer while she had a mammogram” : happy to see the argument for why someone senior should not get the sack for this. Culture. https://t.co/iBUrQySvmE
PLEASE REPOST SO WE DON’T FORGET MY SON ALEX HENRY who is autistic and has been locked up for 11 out of 19 years. His role? Throwing a mobile phone. Many promises to right this wrong if Labour got into power @DavidLammy but my son is left to rot @JENGbA
“Alex has been affected by every problem in the justice system relating to ‘joint enterprise’ and his conviction is totally unsafe. It’s beyond me how he’s still in prison, morally or legally”

What a country we live in!
Woman with depression and anxiety, 4 months pregnant, homeless..told to sleep outdoors so the homeless team can come and see her at 4am to make sure she is genuine before the council will consider help!
@UKLabour I voted for change....e MUST do better!
It is beyond belief that, having had their claims of loss assessed, they are only being offered a tiny percentage of the amount. This is not meeting the target of ‘putting them back where they’d be if this hadn’t happened’. This has to stop!
@PostOffInquiry@liambyrnemp
I’m sure it’s a mistake. Someone overlooked the facts. They didn’t realise the optic would be so awful to the public. Maybe they are surprised. Maybe after all these years the victims should be grateful. It’s wrong to treat victims this way. WRONG!

#PostOfficeScandal#HumanRightsViolations
The oldest Post Office victim, 91 year old Betty Brown, 'treated like dung'.😡 How long will it take before unaccountable wrongdoers are held personally liable for their lack of integrity, ethics and humanity?

Leading Integrity
Has the #PostOfficeScandal
done more to reveal the lack of integrity in governance right across the UK than any other scandal?
How many more integrity scandals will it take before we hold UK "leadership" wrongdoers personally liable?
