This woman… ! We were lucky enough to have her on Prison Bag and she moves me every time she speaks. She truly is an inspiration. It is the best feeling ever to see her unfold her wings and fly. Huge congrats on this well deserved gold award. Big up @UnchainedP You Rock. ❤️
Congratulations to the Best New Voice winners last night. Had lots of fun with the legendary Alan Hall and team @FallingTreeProd. It was amazing to meet @zakiasewell at last. A real talent. Excited to watch her career unfold. Well done everyone.

Very well said John. When @AlexChalkChelt told me that prisons were safer and calmer under Covid protocols I wanted to cry. At what cost to the people inside them, and those waiting to receive them back on the outside?
The level of continued bang up across the entire prison estate is unclear. There is a real risk that @hmpps is now addicted to ‘lockdown’ . Easy way in, long way back. You don’t rehabilitate people through a door. Is @DominicRaab bothered?

HMP/YOI Deerbolt: “it remained the case that the experience was very poor for these young prisoners who were typically spending 23 hours a day locked in cell with little structured activity” : difficult to understand why this was necessary in July justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/…
That is so so sad. Another IPP death. So avoidable. So wrong. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Check out @jberrypoetry and get her book! You won’t be disappointed.

Chris if you haven’t had the joy of speaking to Lesley, you’ve missed out. She’s a compelling narrator and an all round amazing human. Do get in touch with her. The story of her foster child story is also desperate.

@prisonbag I discovered your podcast through @TobiasMenzies and wanted to let you know how informative and moving it was. I first learned about restorative justice studying Indigenous Canada and found the concept of restoring harmony very powerful and thought provoking.
I don’t know what else to do to make that happen… it’s desperate. Have you heard our first series? Prison Bag, bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09dw8k… also on @BBCSounds and prisonbag.com
Never thought we’d be on anyone’s Radar, let alone on a list with Fellini, John Maynard Keynes and The Idles. Thank you @TobiasMenzies It’s an honour to have reached your cochlears.

Alan Hall. Actually the most modest man in radio.
