All you oh-so-feminist trans activists claiming that I didn't care about the sexual abuse and rape of girls in Haiti (and elsewhere) under Oxfam's watch, here you go: https://t.co/ko7QLPYARZ

@OskarCoxJensen @AtifaJiwa @CambridgeUP @Writing__Lives Which bit of your book will be best for David Love students?

[Prison Voices @Prison_Voices]

@OskarCoxJensen @AtifaJiwa @CambridgeUP Brilliant t because I have students studying David Love @Writing__Lives and I would like them to read your book straight away! Alas Prison Voices have finished their blogs but I bet your book has loads of great stuff on the execution balladeers!

BREAKING: The Senate has voted 50-49 in favor of moving the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package forward using budget reconciliation.

No Republicans voted for the resolution.

I live for @thegentleauthor posts like this - early Victorian chapbook for a (possibly Dickens related) campaign against cruelty to apprentices and young servants.

Fascinating post on one convict’s tattoos - moons and stars, anchors, pipes, women, bottles, dotted rings, suns and a crucifix - and what they reveal of his life & passions https://t.co/IMUtTIxor6 @FoughtThey

@IslaBroadwell @prisonhistoryuk @PrisonTwist @Prison_Voices @theclinkprison @crimemuseum If you were in court you could hear the echoing sounds of locks being turned, clanging doors, keys jangling and the sound of the wretched prisoner being led up the steps into the courtroom.
Very Dickensian!

Wonder if students will pick up on shared themes & techniques in The Secret River and The Nightingale. And also some similar criticisms of their focus on convicts’ and settlers’ points of view?

This week on Prison Voices @JMUEnglish we are blogging about the The Secret River and how the novel explores convict settlement in Australia & devastating impact on the First Australians https://t.co/UTX8t5W6bT

It’s on the violence and exploitation of the convict system and colonial expropriation of indigenous land and brutal subjugation of native people
