Understaffed, Overcrowded, Under Pressure

https://t.co/Wv5ssw2u65

The POA recently joined the Hope in Hell podcast for the first part of a three-part conversation exploring the pressures facing today’s prison system from both the frontline and lived-experience perspectives.

POA National Executive Committee members Phil and Dave discuss the impact of understaffing, overcrowding, reduced regimes, recruitment and retention challenges, and the loss of experienced officers, alongside Gary and Rodney’s reflections on how these pressures affect prisoners, rehabilitation and safety across the estate. It is a wide-ranging and candid discussion about the realities facing both staff and prisoners, and the importance of properly resourcing the service if prisons are to operate safely and effectively.

Now hearing @asda are telling Prison Officers they do not qualify for preferential shopping times because they are not a front line key worker. Surely this is not your stance ASDA?
