The leadership that has been lacking from Govt came from communities mobilising together to stand in solidarity and love against racism/Islamophobia in our society

It is now the Govt’s duty to address structural racism and #Islamophobia in society

"Staffing became more challenging during the last quarter of the reporting year. Despite mitigations, time out of cell decreased and cancellation of healthcare, education, employment and training activities was a frequent occurrence. All of this had a significant impact on many prisoners’ progression and resettlement opportunities, as well as their mental health and wellbeing."

"It's not a suitable site. Children are locked up for too long. They don't get the education that they need. There are high levels of violence. It is one of the most violent places in the country. And there's not provision to support them."

That the government is spending £4million a year to keep open a jail it can't use is an embarrassing sign of how disastrous the prison capacity crisis has become.

And now aid agencies are being banned because they won’t release lists of staff member for Israel to target. The suffering of children in Gaza is a stain on all our consciences. How can we stand by? https://t.co/9zU4fjpHem

‘We need to distinguish between criticism of Israel and the sense that the government doesn’t care about Jewish people.’

We were in court this week, challenging the government's decision to authorise PAVA spray in prisons holding children – and there were some interesting revelations.

From information now made publicly available through our litigation, it's clear that the government knew how harmful PAVA spray's introduction would be, but pressed ahead anyway.

The judgment could be delivered before Christmas. Read our blogpost to learn more about what we heard in court: https://t.co/VtYgquSseb

"Spraying PAVA at children is not the answer. That the government has concluded otherwise is indicative of how toxic the prison system has become."

This is why we have taken the government to court today: https://t.co/92eJCByQCT

[The Howard League @TheHowardLeague]

Tomorrow, we are going to the High Court to challenge the government’s decision to authorise the use of PAVA spray in prisons holding children.
