#THREAD on the urgent need for UK Prison Reform.
The UK has the highest imprisonment rate in Western Europe. Norway, the lowest.
In the UK, around 60% of inmates go on to reoffend within a two-year period. In Norway, the rate is 20% after two years.
How do we account for this?

“America’s prisons, jails and detention centers have been among the nation’s most dangerous places when it comes to infections from the coronavirus.
Over the past year, more than 1,400 new inmate infections and seven deaths, on average, have been reported inside those facilities each day.
The cramped, often unsanitary settings of correctional institutions have been ideal for incubating and transmitting disease.

Social distancing is not an option. Testing was not a priority inside prisons early in the pandemic. With little public pressure, political leaders have been slow to confront the spread.”

“The rates of recidivism can shift among each state depending on a number of factors.
“The rates of recidivism can shift among each state depending on a number of factors.

My friend Anneka went to London today to visit our friend Mark in prison, but she was turned away. Guess why ...

No, she wasn't trying to smuggle in contraband...
Great to spend time with @NU_Tories in Newcastle tonight
Really positive multiple Q+A from enthusiastic audience of 1st + 2nd years on everything from Devolution to tax, Assisted Dying to Prison reform and sentencing, education, planning, international students and supporting the high street.

#PrisonReform is not an abstract issue for me -- it's personal. I believe in justice and dignity for all. I believe that the solutions live in the lives of those most impacted.
That is why, I stand in solidarity with all of the inmates taking part in the national #PrisonStrike.

The disparities in the system are not new. They are not secret.
- 2.3 million people sit in US prisons and jails.
- 60% of people behind bars have never been convicted of any crime.
- Women are its fastest growing population.
This amounts to $182B in spending each year.

In MA, Black & Latino residents make up 17% of the population but account for a majority of inmates. In the #MA7, black residents are incarcerated at 6 times the rate of white residents. And low-income/minority communities account for a disproportionate # of inmates.
Do @AdamSchiffCA and @SenWarren care to comment about their buddy #SamanthaBee calling a woman, mother and public servant a “feckless c**t” and telling her to dress like a hooker? The same woman who’s currently working on #PrisonReform cc: @TBSNetwork @TheDemocrats
Is that your office #AdamSchiff as your constituent please answer why this is okay? Though it’s something you probably wish you could say yourself that’s why I’m voting for @Johnny_Congress #FullOfSchiff #TakeBackCalifornia
Dear @BarackObama and @madeleine do you condone calling women “feckless c**ts” and telling them to dress like hookers? #AskingForAFriend
Yesterday @POTUS said that #Immigrants trying to enter the US are #animals, not people.
Let's look at who he's talking about.

Not people? So it's okay to separate children from their parents indefinitely?
