HUMANE JUSTICE What Role Do Kindness, Hope and Compassion Play in the Criminal Justice System? The Monument Fellowship HUMANE JUSTICE What role do kindness, hope and compassion play in the criminal justice system? Edited by LISA ROWLES & IMAN HAJI “Kindness has a vital role to play in our society, and none more so than in our prison system. For those who have failed to live a normal law-abiding life, we need kindness to be at the forefront of their prison experience. Kindness from prison officers, nurses, probation officers and fellow inmates will help produce the fellow citizen who embraces society, not fights against it. As this book clearly demonstrates, the kinder a prison system is, the more successful it will be.” James Timpson. Chief Executive, Timpson Group “The Monument Fellowship has assembled a fascinating and varied array of perspectives from informed contributors on the role of compassion and kindness in addressing injustice. Covid-19 has shone a spotlight on many of these injustices and this collection provides a positive, evidence based and hopeful road map for how we can move forwards.” Frances Mapstone, acting CEO of Just for Kids Law “This book, with its focus on the role of kindness, hope and compassion within the criminal justice system, is set to be a wonderful portfolio of optimism, insight and expertise. It enables an amplification of the voices of those most affected by it – the people subject to its rules and restrictions, the people responsible for their care, and those with an interest in its reform and effectiveness. Through its broad diversity of contributors and media, the book is sure to demonstrate that a bright light exists in the dark corners of our society. It seems to me highly aligned to the spirit and intention of the Monument Fellowship legacy fund.” Max Rutherford, Head of Policy, Association of Charitable Foundations The Monument Fellowship HUMANE JUSTICE What role do kindness, hope and compassion play in the criminal justice system?

Having already spent a decade behind bars for a crime I did not commit, I see hope as a form of resistance in the face of injustice and oppression. At its heart, ‘hope’ engenders a refusal to accept the nature of one’s present condition as somehow inevitable, final, and irredeemable. The desire to change one’s circumstances really amounts to a belief that change is both necessary and possible. Certain academics have described how prisoners simply learn to “swim with the tide”, “yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life”, but this does not reflect my own experience. Casting prisoners in the hopeless, passive role of a submissive subject, unquestioningly resigned to their fate, is – in the most part – a mischaracterisation. Hope is alive and well in prisons, embedded in the very process of coping and survival itself. Above all, hope is a positive act: resisting the tide and asserting one’s autonomy, rather than being swept away. ix FOREWORD Lady Edwina Grosvenor The penal apparatus world wide, ensnares millions of human beings who are unfortunate enough to get caught in its web and sadly, more often than not, they will emerge more damaged than when they first arrived. This of course is not what anyone wants, yet it is where we are. It is absolutely within our gift to change this but it will require a colossal mindset shift which prioritises qualities that many see as weak in a hyper masculine system. A wide range of experts explain why it is of vital importance that we encourage live saving qualities and behaviours such as kindness, compassion and hope to infiltrate our Justice system at every level and at every juncture. The route to doing this is illustrated so beautifully in the collection of essays in this book. Human transformation and change so often happen in deep moments of connection with others. Every interaction has the ability to be an intervention and this should never be overlooked. We must bring emotional intelligence to the fore and be led by its positive force, by warmth, care, love and patient understanding. We need to encourage those who need our support to understand that they, like us, have a past to work with, but also a future to work towards. Where you go in life and how you get there is dependent on knowing where you have been and how that has shaped you. To ignore this knowledge and personal history is to carelessly throw away the solutions.We must provide an ecosystem within which humans can xi grow and flourish, where they can be seen and heard, not ignored and discarded onto the scrap heap of souls. Through reading this book you will undoubtedly finish it feeling thoroughly reassured and optimistic about the fact that it can, and in so many instances, is already being done. I leave you with a question from a wise man I once had the pleasure of working for, the Bishop James Jones, Bishop of Prisons England and Wales: “Do we want our prisons to be warehouses for the incorrigible or green houses for the redeemable?” xii THE MONUMENT TRUST INTO THE FUTURE Mark Woodruff Simon Sainsbury and Stewart Grimshaw established The Monument Trust in 1965, and in 2018, twelve years after Simon died, it awarded its last grants.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 388 842 CE 070 238 AUTHOR Ripley, Paul TITLE Prison Education in England and Wales. (2nd Revised Edition). Mendip Papers MP 022. INSTITUTION Staff Coll., Bristol (England). PUB DATE 93 NOTE 30p. AVAILABLE FROMStaff College, Coombe Lodge, Blagdon, Bristol BS18 6RG, England, United Kingdom (2.50 British pounds). PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Basic Education; *Correctional Education; *Correctional Institutions; Correctional Rehabilitation; Criminals; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; Postsecondary Education; Prisoners; Prison Libraries; Rehabilitation Programs; Secondary Education; Vocational Rehabilitation IDENTIFIERS *England; *Wales ABSTRACT In response to prison disturbances in England and Wales in the late 1980s, the education program for prisoners was improved and more prisoners were given access to educational services. Although education is a relatively new phenomenon in the English and Welsh penal system, by the 20th century, education had become an integral part of prison life. It served partly as a control mechanism and partly for more altruistic needs. Until 1993 the management and delivery of education and training in prisons was carried out by local education authority staff. Since that time, the education responsibility has been contracted out to organizations such as the Staff College, other universities, and private training organizations. Various policy implications were resolved in order to allow these organizations to provide prison education. Today, prison education programs are probably the most comprehensive of any found in the country. They may range from literacy education to postgraduate study, with students ranging in age from 15 to over 65. The curriculum focuses on social and life skills.

  • Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales
    The Honourable Society of the Middle Temple Middle Society Honourable the The of 2019 Issue 59 Michaelmas 2019 Issue 59 Women Readers of Middle Temple Celebrating 100 Years of Women at Middle Temple The Incorporated Council of Law Reporting for England and Wales Practice Note (Relevance of Law Reporting) [2019] ICLR 1 Catchwords — Indexing of case law — Structured taxonomy of subject matter — Identification of legal issues raised in particular cases — Legal and factual context — “Words and phrases” con- strued — Relevant legislation — European and International instruments The common law, whose origins were said to date from the reign of King Henry II, was based on the notion of a single set of laws consistently applied across the whole of England and Wales. A key element in its consistency was the principle of stare decisis, according to which decisions of the senior courts created binding precedents to be followed by courts of equal or lower status in later cases. In order to follow a precedent, the courts first needed to be aware of its existence, which in turn meant that it had to be recorded and published in some way. Reporting of cases began in the form of the Year Books, which in the 16th century gave way to the publication of cases by individual reporters, known collectively as the Nominate Reports. However, by the middle of the 19th century, the variety of reports and the variability of their quality were such as to provoke increasing criticism from senior practitioners and the judiciary. The solution proposed was the establishment of a body, backed by the Inns of Court and the Law Society, which would be responsible for the publication of accurate coverage of the decisions of senior courts in England and Wales.
