@charlton_k We met at ASC— love to see this work :) I’m very down for this, abolitionist futures have really cool reading lists too!

It may be a cliché to say that prisons are in crisis, but the latest quarterly statistics from the @MoJGovUK paint an appalling picture.

Self-harm incidents in women’s prisons have risen to the highest level since current recording practices began: https://t.co/HG12yFMGWQ

The war on drugs has been disastrous for everyone, but especially for women, whose drug arrests have risen dramatically since the 80s. Today, more than a quarter of women in jail are held for drug crimes.

The current U.S. unemployment rate is 3.6%. Now, try wrapping your head around the idea of a 43% unemployment rate. That’s the unemployment rate among formerly incarcerated Black women.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

If you're thinking about mass incarceration this #Juneteenth2023, consider the complete scope: not just 2 million people behind bars, but 3.5 million on probation and parole, systems that can replicate prison conditions in the community. 30% of people under supervision are Black.

Yesterday I shared findings from my PhD. Based on an ethnography in a women's centre in England, I argue that caseworkers use 'empathic intuition' as a mode of relating and working with clients.

Next, @kavya_padman discusses findings from her ethnography of a women’s centre in England, focusing on how care workers rely on “empathic intuition” in their work with service users.

Jailed women in UK five times more likely to suffer stillbirths, data shows https://t.co/wOkRZCMCFJ “Currently the court looks at the woman in the dock and her children are invisible,” says Harriet Harman.
This must change, all pregnant women can be dealt with in the community.

Don’t think of it as a recall, think of it as a vote for the environment, for a minimum wage, for criminal justice reform, and if you don’t do anything else this week, please vote. We can not afford to go backwards

[Kavya Padmanabhan @kavya_padman]

@whatcandicesays Good luck!!!

Here’s more evidence that we can abolish CPS, reimagine child welfare & build ways to support families and keep children safe without tearing them apart. https://t.co/AeesMphDzB
