(Martin– HMP Belmarsh) GRT History Month at HMP Wayland Six months ago we had 12 offenders registered as W3 – now we have 40! I admit, it hasn’t been easy reaching out and being accepted into such a close knit community. But Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month was a great kick start to get to know our offenders from Travelling backgrounds and provided an opportunity to learn about their culture. It also allowed us to explain that we are not their enemy, but only wish to learn more about them in order to support them whilst at Wayland. With the help from our Offender Representatives (and a special thanks goes to my Traveller Rep Patrick) we displayed information about the different Travelling communities on all wing notice boards/in the library for offenders and in the main gate for staff and visitors to see. Appleby Fair was aired on our in-house TV channel, a Thomas McCarthy CD played for all to enjoy and the kitchens cooked traditional meals on Thursdays throughout June. We were visited by the Traveller Equality Project who kindly brought in Irish treats for the group to enjoy and later in the month were joined by the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller Service for Norfolk and Suffolk – they offer support to offenders and their families. Following on from June, our meetings continue and our W3 numbers continue to grow… I know nothing happens quickly in prison, but I feel we at Wayland are moving in the right direction… Forward.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

In the context of medical progress and other twentieth-century innovations, however, the same institutions have bred the most rapid population growth the world has ever seen. The history of the continent is thus a single story binding living Africans to their earliest human ancestors. John Iliffe was Professor of African History at the University of Cambridge and is a Fellow of St. John’s College. He is the author of several books on Africa, including Amodern history of Tanganyika and The African poor: A history,which was awarded the Herskovits Prize of the African Studies Association of the United States.

M An outlaw practice : boxing, governance and western law Abstract This investigation examines the uses of Western law to regulate and at times outlaw the sport of boxing. Drawing on a primary sample of two hundred and one reported judicial decisions canvassing the breadth of recognised legal categories, and an allied range fight lore supporting, opposing or critically reviewing the sport's development since the beginning of the nineteenth century, discernible evolutionary trends in Western law, language and modern sport are identified. Emphasis is placed on prominent intersections between public and private legal rules, their enforcement, paternalism and various evolutionary developments in fight culture in recorded English, New Zealand, United States, Australian and Canadian sources. Fower, governance and regulation are explored alongside pertinent ethical, literary and medical debates spanning two hundred years of Western boxing history. & Acknowledgements and Declaration This has been a very solitary endeavour.
