Congratulations to our previous committee member Rob Guthrie on becoming a finalist in these awards. Fingers crossed for the Gala Awards evening on 7 November.

Somewhat concerning

Prison capacity is running out, and we know the public expects answers.

Last week, the Lord Chancellor, Shabana Mahmood, set out how we’re tackling this crisis:

1️⃣ evaluating community-based punishments that work
2️⃣ taking targeted action to address the recall population
3️⃣ building more prison places - with construction on a site near HMP Gartree starting this year.

These steps will ease pressure and help keep the public safe.
