female prisoners
Speech to the Keep Prisons Single Sex demonstration, 12 November 2022
Why are around 600 pregnant women sent to prison in the UK each year
Commenting on today's judgment, our Director, Richard Garside, said:
Housing male prisoners in women’s prisons does not serve the interests of women
Threats and silencing must stop if discussion around reasonable solutions is to be had
Politicians must acknowledge the conflict of interest between female and trans prisoners
Babies in prison are voiceless. We should be speaking for them
Women and girls convicted under joint enterprise laws get a raw deal
Effective social distancing in prison means releasing thousands of prisoners
An opportunity to develop reasoned, evidenced and emotionally-literate policy and practice
We should be repairing the fissures in our society rather than to punishing those at the margins
