Speaking out about #jointenterprise when successive Governments use tough on crime to gain votes, it’s our children that suffer the #injustice it creates. Children should not go prison for LIFE, especially when they don’t kill anyone. #killingtyelaw with @jengba.bsky.social

How are they supposed to be rehabilitated when they are penned up like animals and are learning about new crimes 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🫣

I had never heard of #jointenterprise until it was used against my girls who were also sentenced to life sentences. Im afraid nobody understands until it happens to them and then it’s too late

The Big Issue has spoken to six mothers of children jailed for murder under the Joint Enterprise Act about why they believe that the law should be changed so that people are convicted for the crimes they committed, not ones to which they were merely bystanders. ⬇️ buff.ly/vaf3xbU

A letter from the Clerk of my Quaker meeting to the Meeting's MP, about the police raid at our Meeting House in Covent Garden last Thursday. It's a space I've used and treasured, since my first visit 20 years ago next month. Reading about the raid felt like learning that my home had been violated.

A test imposed by the UK Supreme Court in Jogee without hearing argument has been interpreted in a way that causes miscarriages of justice- note - the then LCJ sat in the UKSC in Jogee & on Johnson which interpreted & applied the “substantial injustice” test-very [email protected]

Law Commission is right on test that has affected so many #jointenterprise prisoners : “it is strongly arguable that the development of “substantial injustice” as a practice or test has become a real obstacle to the correction of miscarriages of justice, and that the law should be reformed”

#jointenterprise A legal doctrine that relies on derogatory language rather than hard evidence or FACTS. We await the latest data for the full capture of last years JE prosecutions from the Crown Prosecution Service.

#JointEnterprise back in Parliament for the Westminster Commission. @jengba.bsky.social campaigners have fought long & hard for #justice This 2nd oral hearing will be about #RACE. We already know a black person is 16 times more likely to be prosecuted using JE than a white person.

#JointEnterprise back in the spotlight & under scrutiny later today in Parliament. The Westminster Commission is the inquiry all the #JENGbA campaigners have been waiting for. No one should go to prison for someone else’s crime, & a law that allows this abhorrent #injustice must be END !

Are there real issues of potential injustice with 'joint enterprise'? Yes. But debate is NOT helped by exaggeration/ misrepresenting statistics. We cannot simply say 'joint enterprise' = injustice. In many cases, it doesn't. It is a difficult legal area.

This short film describes the horror of #jointenterprise & who it targets. Laura the young mum training to be a midwife not at the scene of a death & Joe a schoolboy on a park 500 metres away when a young boy was stabbed by someone else.
