Tonight at 8:30 PM on ITV, I investigate a crucial question: Are our prisons on the brink?
If you want to go deeper into the themes explored, my new podcast ‘Right From Wrong’ launches today. Join the conversation here:

🚨 NEW LEADING EPISODE 🚨
@RoryStewartUK and @campbellclaret sit down with campaigner @JacobFreeeman and playwright @mrJamesGraham - the team behind the award-winning play The Punch.
They dive into a powerful conversation on restorative justice, masculinity, and how we can rethink the criminal justice system.

Pleased to meet @JacobFreeeman yesterday - who is doing fantastic work on restorative justice initiatives.
Looking forward to seeing the play ‘Punch’ based on Jacob’s life which has rave reviews. Lots for us politicians, and justice practitioners, to learn from.
Thanks for sharing you’re thoughts, and all the work you and the team do at @RJCouncil
I should add that we are building real momentum with our #RightToBeHeard campaign which seeks to ensure all victims are crime have access to RJ:

Just one punch. Two families changed forever. Punch shows how restorative justice makes space for truth, courage, and human repair. My latest review for @RJCouncil explores its impact on two stages—Broadway and the West End— https://t.co/ey0HHw2Xtd #PunchThePlay
From Broadway last week to the Westend - great to have the opportunity to see Punch at the @NimaxTheatres in London with @drkatedoolin. It will be interesting to see the nuanced changes between the UK and USA. An amazing performance which truly demonstrates the paper of RJ
Wonderful to have the opportunity to see Punch in London with @JBSimon73 - thought provoking and excellent production with restorative justice at its core.
@JacobFreeeman Watched the play last night and listened to the Amol Rahman interview today. Inspired by your humility. And not underestimating the bravery. You will change lives. All power to tomorrow being the only day that matters.
Great day @AssnYOTmanagers loved the amount of passion in the room! @KnellTaylor thanks for sharing this!
Please check out our campaign to improve access to RJ and support victims of crime: https://t.co/EjPZLnWeos
So great to hear @JacobFreeeman (of @PunchThePlay) telling his story of the redemptive power of RJ at the @AssnYOTmanagers conference “I was traumatised, desensitised to violence & not able to take accountability… I needed high support & high challenge” 💭 Harm to healing ❤️🩹
Tell me what renewal looks like… not just value statements… something tangible… something people can get behind… that makes them proud… gets them going… time to roll the sleeves up… and speak to the common person on the street with no optimism…because the tide has turned
Our country stands at a fork in the road between renewal or decline.
I will always choose the path of national renewal, towards a fairer country, based on dignity and respect.
A Britain built for all.
Following sold-out runs at @NottmPlayhouse & Young Vic, Punch, set in The Meadows in my constituency, transfers to the West End for a 10-week run from Monday.
Excited to see this ad on my way home to Nottm earlier this week!

Thank you for sharing our #RightToBeHeard campaign @NadiaWhittomeMP
Every victim of crime deserves to have a voice and a choice.
Please help us make this a legal right by signing the petition https://t.co/va6yUkMIYW
Very few victims are told about restorative justice - an opportunity for the victim and the offender to share with each other how the crime has affected them - despite evidence in reducing reoffending.
@JacobFreeeman is leading a very important campaign.
