Hi Madeleine - any chance you could add @prisonadvice.bsky.social to one of your wonderful starter packs? We're a national charity operating in over 60 prisons across England & Wales, supporting prisoners to stay in touch with families.

The 'it goes to Reading' argument also spurious. Central line goes to Epping, Metropolitan line goes to Amersham. In addition, vast majority of journeys on Liz line are made in the central tunneled section.

Worked on Crossrail for 5 years and don't think I can let this one go .... Liz line very much part of the tube network imho.
The vast, vast majority of fares are the same as rest of the tube with some fiddling at the extremities of the line around the far western and eastern edges.

True. And far beyond the remit or ability of prisons or MoJ to sort out.

A very good point. An example of how prison overcrowding has knock-on impacts on many other parts of the system. Too many prisoners and not enough staff makes running all aspects of prison life much harder.

Austerity in action. Across a whole range of public services we're feeling the impact of austerity of the 2010s - rivers full of shit, prisons overflowing, councils going bankrupt, hospital waiting lists .... I could go on ....

I appreciate the harms antisocial behaviour can cause communities, however, we’ll be stuck in this endless cycle of prison crisis unless governments’ reliance on pointless ‘crackdowns’ & use of prison as a deterrence ends, and we find alternative solutions to imprisoning people we’re mad at

Thanks Cassia - understood!

Understandable that projects delivered with the very best of intentions can have unintended consequences. For example, there were reports of video calls during Covid being hard for prisoners - they weren't prepared to see the inside of their home for the first time in months / years.

Looks very interesting Rebecca! At Pact we did a survey with families in England and Wales about a year ago.
