JUSTICE submitted evidence to @davidgauke.bsky.social’s crucial Independent Sentencing Review. As prison overcrowding strains the justice system, it’s vital we ensure the set of rules that determine people’s punishment for crimes are fair, effective, and help prevent reoffending. (1/3)

💡 New report proposes 1st rights-based framework to guide AI use in the justice system, to help harness AI’s power safely. AI isn’t a cure-all & its use carries big risks – to individuals & to democracy if people lose trust in the law through more scandals like Horizon (1/4)

Criminal courts are in crisis. The decision to launch a review is a step in the right direction; we look to the review to bring reforms to sustainably resource our courts while recognising the importance of juries to securing justice and public confidence in our legal system.

This report on the huge prison building shortfall shows that, to properly solve this crisis, the government must focus on fixing vital basics such as the probation service, mental health care, & youth centres to give people real routes away from offending. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We all want safe, thriving communities, but these orders have existed for decades & they still don’t work. We must listen to local authorities & victims by fixing problems with existing tools & properly funding public services & youth programmes to tackle anti-social behaviour's root causes (1/2)

Patrick and Jo describe how, if the case had run out of money and needed to halt, the subpostmasters could have been sued for legal costs. This imbalance in terms of access to justice risked the Post Office trying to run up the costs of the case #JAC24 #PostOfficeScandal
