Time for vulnerable #prison leavers to file a Group Litigation Order against the agency's failure to adhere to GDPR procedures, thereby exposing extremely personal data to the public. Are there any legal teams looking to take this on? theguardian.com/law/2025/may/1…

It's looking like Mahmood's sentencing reforms will just swap 'failing #Prison' news stories with 'failing #Probation' news stories. The amount of extra work being dumped onto a Probation service that is already on its knees is surely setting them up for failure...

Throwing £700m at #probation is a waste if it stays in the hands of incompetent management. They'll burn it fast and change nothing. At least £100m must go to hiring capable leaders from *outside HMPPS*. Probation needs more than money; it needs accountability and competence.

Detained Australian police officer says she was treated better by prisoners than by US law enforcement. People in #prison help each other out, even newcomers who happen to be cops. Everyone involved with law enforcement should read this: news.com.au/travel/travel-…

If the prison officer who delivers this #prison rehabilitation programme commits the same crime he's telling others how to avoid, how effective is the programme? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

94% of #prison charity funding goes to the same handful of big organisations. The ones with offices. Salaries. PR teams. You know the names. But ask yourself: what have they actually changed? #FundRealReform #JusticeCharityFail

This reminds me of my #prison rock band where we'd have big scary lifers singing sensitive pop tunes. The prison tats and weightroom biceps can't hide the depth of emotion, and sense of humour, underneath.

Every year: more '#prison is failing' reports. More “studies.” More ignored recommendations. How many reports does it take to get someone housing or addiction support? It’s not research we lack. It’s courage to ACT. #JusticeCharityFail #FundRealReform

As a survivor of #prison and #probation, I'm horrified by UK's Orwellian tech agenda: "digital biomarkers," 24/7 wearable monitoring, "prison outside of prison." Where are OUR voices? We're shut out while officials design dystopian tools to control us. techuk.org/resource/minis…

Before you laugh about a #prison guard having sex with a prisoner, remember that most prisoners are vulnerable and desperate and prison officers hold all the power. She took advantage of a vulnerable young man in her care. lbc.co.uk/crime/prison-o…

Tiny charities are helping #prison leavers get clean, get housed, get jobs. They’re closing because the big charities hoard the cash. 6% of the funding. 90% of the real work. #FundRealReform #JusticeCharityFail

Dear big #prison support charities: You had your shot. Zero impact. Decades of failure. The system is getting worse. Let those who’ve lived the system lead the reform. Step up. Or step aside. #JusticeCharityFail #FundRealReform
