The government must act on the Corston report
Juliet Lyon
Progress towards implementing recommendations on women in prison is too slow: this is as unforgivable as it is inexplicable
"What should concern us most: that women, who make up only 6% of the prison population, account for half the incidents of serious self harm in custody or that, knowing this, the government is failing to act on a blueprint for reform that would give vulnerable women a chance to quit a vicious cycle of drugs, drink, mental illness and crime, and get their lives back on track?".
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
