Worrying findings from our inspection at HMP Foston Hall - the first time we have awarded a 1 - our lowest grade for safety for a woman's prison for more than ten years - levels of violence and self-harm were much higher than we see elsewhere. https://t.co/Xw61F3Uz0r

We need to copy Portugal's 🇵🇹 drug policy by decriminalising drugs. It will help to reduce the number of people both taking and harmed by drugs.

[Centre Think Tank @CentreThinkTank]

We support @ukdecrimnow because it protects sex workers and makes their job safer. Progressive parties should do the same and focus far more on reducing harm in areas like sex work.

David responds to a question from @VortiGan_ on online anonymity.

He says that there could be some level of identification provided upon sign-up - but that there are complexities re: LGBT+ people who may not be 'out'.

@l_d1995x asks how public health approaches can be better integrated into Labour Policy.

David notes the need to focus on the epidemic of knife crime and gang culture and the issues that are stoking that. The issues on education, care and trauma and support.

[Young Fabians Criminal Justice Network @YFCrimJustice]

He notes the issues surrounding CAMHS. Trauma can manifest in criminal behaviour - public health approach is favoured by Sadiq Khan. But cannot do this alone.
