The Ministry of Justice has announced a review of sentencing policy to resolve the growing crisis in prisons, including emphasising the possible introduction of house arrest as an alternative to prison sentences thejusticegap.com/ministry-of-ju…

My book, Mess and Contemporary Performance, will be published in hardback next month (19 November) by Routledge. More info here: routledge.com/Mess-and-Conte…
