A sensible and welcome take on things from @scottishprisons whose frustration is palpable. An abnormally high prison population doesn't help prisoners, prison staff or victims.

“There is quite a big body of evidence out there about what works, we just need to decide whether we’re going to follow it or not now.” CJS' @karynmccluskey & @ComJusScot_Gem are quoted in @1919_mag about @ScotGovJustice's review into #CommunityFirst sentencing options ⬇️

Are you aware that 65% of our prison population have 6 or more adverse childhood experiences, many of them are care experienced…punished all their lives and still punished for what? A poor start in life, poverty, inequality? It’s too easy to beat the drum I’m afraid!

@Policy_Exchange @SuellaBraverman The obstacle preventing this? We need more prison places. We should make delivering a massive expansion of our prison estate, to lock up prolific offenders and keep the public safe, a central Conservative mission.

How much is it costing us to ignore young children's needs? The report today from @acmedsci estimates at least £16.13 billion PER YEAR. This screenshot from the report is now in my slides for tomorrow's #DaringVentures Session with the @TIGERS_UK Leadership Team.
TONIGHT, 20:30 BBC Alba: @heavysoundCIC's very wonderful mentors dicussing Scotland's woefully high prison numbers, and why we should keep people out of prison and in communities with the support they need. @AConstance23 @HumzaYousaf heavysound.org
FYI, listening to a focus group of young gang members somewhere does not mean we know why some young people join gangs somewhere else. IMHO There is a whole industry of experts who think they know all the answers. Yet young people are still assaulting other young people.

A @UofGlasgow study shows 75% of 110 male prisoners aged 16-23 in HMP & YOI Polmont had experience of abuse and neglect. Numbers of young people are falling in prisons. But what else can we do differently? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

We value the opportunities to share knowledge on restorative justice with eager minds, and today’s sessions were very inspiring. Thank you, George Watson’s College, for hosting us and to all the advanced higher modern studies students for your enthusiastic engagement!
A valuable day for @knoxacademy Advanced Higher Modern Studies pupils at the George Watson’s Conference today. Lots of opportunities for them to explore new ideas and hear from experts with a wealth of experience and knowledge.
