The prison system actively discourages family connections. Prisons are often located far from families, making visits costly and difficult to maintain, along with extortionate phone call costs, intensifying tension in already stressed relationships.
@lloyd_rm@BrightonHoveCC We were moved to this flat after having recurring mould issues for years in our prev council flat and then being harassed by our neighbour to the point of police involvement. This is the reality of council housing. The gen public think we get a lovely free ride. Reality is awful.
Council flat life. Wet room leaking to downstairs neighbours. About 6 months later finally council here to repair. Find waterlogged mouldy MDF behind the tiles. @BrightonHoveCC's solution? Tile it over, again, in which case it will still be leaking and unfit for purpose ๐genius.
@lloyd_rm@BrightonHoveCC My partner has a mould allergy, asthma and is on immunosuppressant medication, yet we are forced to live with known mould, bowing walls and walls that have be completely unfit for purpose. The hours of labour required constantly chasing up the council to take action is exhausting
So depressing that a single short term escapee gets the crisis and conditions in English prisons infinitely more media play than the 100 odd suicides that occur every year
Huge thank you to @inner_temple PASS scheme for connecting me with @cruciblelaw for a mini-pupillage this week. Met some fantastic advocates who were generous with advice and insight to life at the criminal Bar, and left court each day motivated and with much to reflect upon.
Super proud to have graduated with a Masters in Law, achieving a Distinction! I honestly can't imagine having gotten here without this incredible Big Kid by my side - my greatest motivation. A huge congrats to everyone else graduating this term. We did it! @uniofbrighton
"GTR has known the date of Brighton Pride โ and about its failure to employ enough drivers โ for a very long time. This is a deliberate and malicious attempt to disrupt the LGBT+ day, then blame @ASLEFunion for its own manifest failings." @MickWhelanASLEF https://t.co/yZnUOpJpfi
Ahhh feeling so lovely after trans pride today. So lovely seeing my kid joining in with chants and being so excited when people waved at them. Our friend's kid joined us too and just seeing him throw himself into it to celebrate his trans friends & family was just gorgeous ๐
@YogaCherry@uniofbrighton I feel you! It's a huge one but you sure do get there in the end! ๐ Hope you've got a great supervisor, makes all the difference!
