Children in peril as women are jailed in record numbers
The number of women in prisons has more than doubled in 15 years,
with 17,240 children separated from mothers who are in jail, an
investigation by The Independent shows today.
Britain has the highest rate of female imprisonment in the European Union, with 10,181 women put behind bars last year alone. That statistic has raised fears that the criminal justice system is creating a lost generation of children raised without mothers.
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.
