Is there redemption for society's "failed" mothers?
Over a decade on and only now am I able to talk about my experiences of the #cjs and #emotionalabuse .. that I wasn't able to see all that time. #failedmothers #womeninprison #motherhood

@PrisonR4rmAct Maybe it’s because you can’t make money from helping someone with mental health challenges.

As vegetables go, we love them both - baked marrow and barbecued courgettes 👍🏾👍🏽👍🏿👍🏻

[HMP Downview @HMPDownview]

Did you know a marrow is actually a courgette that has been left on the plant to grow a little longer? Conversely, if u pick a marrow when small, it’s actually classed as a courgette? I didn’t either, until one of our gardener ladies told me today! Amazing but, it seems, true!

@LittleJanhere Loving this quote.
So many ‘fools’ put there. If they don’t know what your thinking they can’t disagree you.

[BEHINDBRAS ENTERPRISE ACADEMY @BehindBrasEA]

This should not be the case on many levels.

Too many errors

@kelsmartyn Congratulations, onwards and upwards.
It doesn’t matter how many times we step out and it seems that it’s not the right direction.
What matters is that you’re on your path to make your own changes.

[Revolving Doors @RevDoors]

We hope that @DominicRaab will put addressing the drivers of crime - namely poverty, trauma, mental ill health and substance misuse - at the top of his agenda.

Working alongside people with lived experience will be integral to any reset of the criminal justice system.

Can anyone help?

[Dr Renske Visser @Renske_Visser]

Participants wanted! We are looking for people with lived experience of both prison and cancer to take part in online workshops to help improve cancer care in prison. Questions? Please email [email protected] RTs are appreciated

[BEHINDBRAS ENTERPRISE ACADEMY @BehindBrasEA]

@AntoniaRomeoUK @hmpps @DGProbWales @MoJGovUK @RobertBuckland Essential indeed. Long time coming.
One step forward with tailored support after prison. 👏🏿👏🏽👏🏾👏🏻

Two step backward - still referring to people who have been through the criminal justice system as ‘ex-offenders’. Using this term is demoralising - not empowering.

[The Howard League @TheHowardLeague]

"It was very concerning to see that the prison is regularly being used as a ‘place of safety’ for women with acute mental health difficulties. These women should not be kept in prison where, out of sight, they exist in an environment that does not begin to address their needs."

[BEHINDBRAS ENTERPRISE ACADEMY @BehindBrasEA]

Can’t wait …

Far too many children are just abandoned eith the majority of them having no one to turn to.
#ItWasntMe
There is a way …
👇🏻👇🏿👇🏼👇🏾

[Children Heard and Seen @ChildrenHandS]

‘We hid our emotions.’ ‘We had a secret.’Too many children with a parent in #prison feel this way. This is why 1-1 support is important, work through their feelings & emotions, as well as opportunities to meet others who share similar thoughts & know they’re not alone #itwasntme
