Project

After prison

Our long-term project guided by a simple proposition: there is always a better use for a piece of land than as a place for a prison.

Project

Imprisonment for Public Protection

The sentence of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) was abolished in 2012, yet more than 3,000 IPP prisoners continue to languish in custody.

Project

Joint enterprise

Joint enterprise refers to legal principles on the use of the law of complicity.

Project

Prison healthcare and austerity

With prisons reportedly still ‘in recovery’ from pandemic restrictions, and multiple pressures on the NHS and the public finances, how will the health of prisoners be protected and improved? How can advocates for better health care make their case?

Project

Short prison sentencing

This project aims to identify the options, impacts and issues for impactful sentencing reform intended to reduce the use of short prison sentences.

Project

Time for change

We are developing a partnership with prison experts, researchers, campaigners and policy specialists, to make the case for a smaller prison system.

Project

Understanding UK criminal justice systems

How is criminal justice in the United Kingdom organised? How are the various institutions held to account? What is the relationship between politics and practice? How do citizens influence these powerful institutions?
