And the article I wrote for @ArchitectsJrnal which is being linked in a lot of media articles about Limerick https://t.co/pbaK1e8m3i

[Yvonne Jewkes @YvonneJewkes]

Limerick women’s prison has finally opened. I’m proud of my role in its design and for introducing the Irish Prison Service to trauma-informed design and an ‘architecture of hope’. The second video in this @rtenews report shows inside the new prison https://t.co/c7PdzZGnI9

[Dame Carol Black @DameCarolBlack]

I really enjoyed taking part in today’s Recovery Walk in Hull to mark International Recovery Month.

The walk brings communities to highlight the importance of support and treatment for people in recovery from drug dependency, thousands of people gathered to take part.

[David McCartney @DocDavidM]

The implications that sex, dating and intimate relationships may have for individual relapse to substance use, can and should play a greater role in both substance use disorder treatment and preparation for release from prison. https://t.co/wKocIxrbvn

[David McCartney @DocDavidM]

Long-term abstinence was observed in 63.9% of patients. Of the treatment-related factors, early discontinuation of treatment, shorter treatment duration, and absence of early aftercare services predicted relapse in patients. https://t.co/NdQ4k1siVw

[National Criminal Justice Arts Alliance @ArtsCJS]

Why is mentoring so important in arts in criminal justice?

We asked David, a prison officer with a background in theatre, and his mentor Liz, an actor/groupworker at @GeeseTheatre, to tell us about the difference their mentoring partnership made.
