@OwenJones84 This person seems to feel that Arabs, all of them and anywhere in Israel, are a threat. Has he forgotten that they had their land taken from them, their homes destroyed, and their ability to survive reduced to almost nothing? He needs to review his history.

That is much more like it. Custody is only occasionally the right place for those who have offended.

There are 79,207 men, women and children in prison in England and Wales.

There are 165 fewer people in prison than there were a week ago and 3,838 fewer than this time last year.

@jsyperryman @OwenJones84 Sorry, yes it does happen to white people. But they don't have to worry if someone is going to call the Police. Mind, if she really was 100% racist, she would have stood a distance away and called the Police, only then telling him he was a thief.

@emaiengteacher @MarkPRamsey @OwenJones84 It could be but we don't know. I would certainly challenge someone who I did not recognise if they appeared to be rifling through a glovebox. She did apologise when he proved the car was his, whereupon he became profane and would not shut up.

@Akheyre76 She tried to be nice once you showed her she was wrong. Then you were abusive to her. She never used bad language until after you did. She was wrong to infer but you were wrong to keep abusing her.

@MoJGovUK @hmpps What a waste. Locking people up does not provide rehabilitation unless you are speaking about 4 years or more sentences. Whers is the investment in Probation & Youth Services?

[Thames Valley Napo @TVNapo]

How does one even deal with it sometimes? That anyone feels they have the right to kneel on another person's neck for over 8 minutes, I simply cannot understand. A uniform is not the right to commit murder. #BLM

We have been clearing out the archive cupboard at manor lodge and came across some interesting history of the building, including Prince Philip officially opening the hostel in 1969!

APs not getting the PPE protections that staff need during this health crisis but still expected to work. Courts still requiring some Probation presence - in person - and, whilst limited, no PPE there either.

@jass_milo @theworldindex Actually their average age is rising steadily. It is expected that over a third of the population will be over 65 within the next decade. And, more to the point, a stable society needs people in the 30 to 50 age range to build, manage, grow the economy.

#C4News hopefully at 7:00pm #Napo GS view on Home Secretary’s counter terrorism annnouncement and why we need a properly resourced #Probation service

@ReadingExplorer The person who threatened you is behaving abominably. You just keep being you. It is irrelevant what sexuality you are.

[Thames Valley Napo @TVNapo]

@BarristerSecret I have to disagree with Priti Patel. There was no change in the legislation to change the release at 50 percent of sentence. That is still the rule unless you receive an Extended Sentence.

The lack of computer system knowledge amongst our IT support team does not help to get things fixed.

Mark Drakeford sets out a vision for society, & the role of a justice system within it that's positive & hugely contrasting with everything we've seen since 2012. Brings hope for Wales #napoagm19
