Incredibly inspiring

20 years ago in June 2004 I was desolate frightened and ashamed...angry and bereft as I entered the prison....fast forward 20 years those tears of pain transformed to joy. Let's go @unlockcharity!

@salhogg @IsosPartnership Thanks @salhogg, very interesting

[Sally Hogg @salhogg]

Great to see this and well done to the NCT team including @vickyfobel @abigailfwood @DrSMcMullen who led the campaign to get the GP postnatal checks guaranteed for all women six years ago.

Campaigners move on but good policy changes continue to make a difference!!

Successive Conservative Governments have kept these egregious miscarriages of justice out of the public eye. With your help we’ve sent this shocking film to 7.9 million views in a month

No one should spend 18 years in jail for trying to steal a coat or be imprisoned for 11 yrs for stealing a mobile phone - it’s unthinkable

Let’s get this to 8 million today & send a message to Justice Secretary @AlexChalkChelt its time to implement the Justice Committee’s recommendation that all people subject to IPP sentences should be resentenced NOW

@salhogg @vickyfobel @abigailfwood @DrSMcMullen Thanks Sal, for recognising former colleagues @NCTcharity - and for your supportive work over the years. Some of us here still beavering away at improving postnatal care: more to come in 2024!

It's just a shocking case of institutional failure, at various points in the system, with #IPP prisoners, and those under an #IPP sentence who have been released, being given a thoroughly raw deal

[Vicky Fobel @vickyfobel]

Important new research from @CollegeofPolice - we create more victims if we overuse imprisonment.

[Penelope Gibbs @PenelopeGibbs2]

Who knew? New publication @CollegeofPolice What Works Centre says custodial sanctions are counterproductive in reducing crime. Based on high quality international research (meta-analysis 116 studies). "On average, evidence suggests custodial sanctions have increased reoffending

[Vicky Fobel @vickyfobel]

Fascinating discussion of the political pressures driving sentencing policy. Especially interesting to hear how low a political priority the evidence seems to be, compared with 'virtue' signalling to media, backbenchers etc

[Transform Justice @TransformJust1]

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨

@RoryStewartUK & @Stephenkb discuss why politicians appear hell-bent on punitive new justice measures. Is it good politics or are they just following public opinion?

@elizabethduff2 @ClareMacdon @DrSdeG @NCTcharity Great to see this research being done

[Vicky Fobel @vickyfobel]

@PenelopeGibbs2 Interesting...we need to learn from this shift in US attitudes

[Vicky Fobel @vickyfobel]

@Emily_Benn This is so moving!

@elizabethduff2 @BirteLam Where did the years go?!

[Vicky Fobel @vickyfobel]

This is incredible on so many levels, thank you @lesliealexander and your mum

[Leslie Alexander @lesliemalex]

Just got home from a harrowing experience and it's haunting me.... This is a long thread...

This evening I took my mom on an errand, and when we arrived in the parking lot there were four white male police officers surrounding two Black teen girls. 1/16

[Vicky Fobel @vickyfobel]

@lokiscottishrap This is brilliant @lokiscottishrap , thanks for saying it

[Women in Prison @WIP_live]

Women’s Centres address the root causes of crime and our new research shows they save money.

It's time the government turn rhetoric into action and #valuewomenscentres.

We need sustainable funding for Women’s Centres now.
