@Dawn_French I love him. I hope you let him wear it. Like can be very dull.

@StevenJoss8 What a beautiful way to make something good of this sad, untimely passing. The shock of losing someone too soon adds an extra twist to the knife. Thinking of you and sending so much ❤️I’m also sure she did actually know what she meant to you.

Very well said John. When @AlexChalkChelt told me that prisons were safer and calmer under Covid protocols I wanted to cry. At what cost to the people inside them, and those waiting to receive them back on the outside?

[John Podmore @John_Podmore]

The level of continued bang up across the entire prison estate is unclear. There is a real risk that @hmpps is now addicted to ‘lockdown’ . Easy way in, long way back. You don’t rehabilitate people through a door. Is @DominicRaab bothered?

That is so so sad. Another IPP death. So avoidable. So wrong. My heart goes out to you and your family.

It’s with a heavy heart that I have to write this today. My dad sadly passed away in his cell at HMP Wayland in the early hours of Weds 6th October. Still to learn more. He would want you all to know that he battled until the end for his freedom & appreciated your support

@SandraH36323988 @lesleyasom @scatatkins @AndrewSperling IPP - one of the massive injustices of our time and completely under reported and under raged about. Have a look at the wonderful @formybr0ther and her information and tragic stories on https://t.co/otrqDGhnjN

Chris if you haven’t had the joy of speaking to Lesley, you’ve missed out. She’s a compelling narrator and an all round amazing human. Do get in touch with her. The story of her foster child story is also desperate.

@TweetHeike_Dino @TobiasMenzies I’d love to know more about indigenous Canada! Thanks so much for listening and commenting.

[Little Miss Heike and His Lordship Dino @TweetHeike_HHL]

@prisonbag I discovered your podcast through @TobiasMenzies and wanted to let you know how informative and moving it was. I first learned about restorative justice studying Indigenous Canada and found the concept of restoring harmony very powerful and thought provoking.

[Prison Bag @prisonbag]

I don’t know what else to do to make that happen… it’s desperate. Have you heard our first series? Prison Bag, https://t.co/mFWeKmP3NZ also on @BBCSounds and https://t.co/TK37qQL6yv

[Tobias Menzies @TobiasMenzies]

@prisonbag No, right back at you, thank you! I think Prison Break is a remarkable documentary, it really got to me, I think everyone needs to hear it and start changing the conversation around what prison is and should be
🙏

@scorpioredhair @TobiasMenzies His whole list rocks!

[Prison Bag @prisonbag]

Never thought we’d be on anyone’s Radar, let alone on a list with Fellini, John Maynard Keynes and The Idles. Thank you @TobiasMenzies It’s an honour to have reached your cochlears.
