  • Prison Reform Trust Response to Transforming Rehabilitation
    Prison Reform Trust response to Transforming Rehabilitation The Prison Reform Trust is an independent UK charity working to create a just, humane and effective penal system. We do this by inquiring into the workings of the system; informing prisoners, staff and the wider public; and by influencing Parliament, government and officials towards reform. The Prison Reform Trust's main objectives are: Reducing unnecessary imprisonment and promoting community solutions to crime Improving treatment and conditions for prisoners and their families Overview The Prison Reform Trust welcomes, with the caveats outlined in our response, the focus of the consultation on rehabilitation and extending support to short sentenced prisoners. The needs of this group have been neglected for too long. We welcome the acknowledgement of the importance of addressing common social factors behind their offending, including “broken homes, drug and alcohol misuse, generational worklessness, abusive relationships, childhoods spent in care, mental illness, and educational failure.” This presents a compelling case for government and local authority departments to work together to address the social factors that drive crime. This needs to be reflected in plans, and budgetary arrangements, for cross-departmental working at national and local levels. Our key points in response to the proposals are: Mentoring should be available to all prisoners serving less than 12 months on a voluntary basis Responsibility for the statutory supervision of all low, medium and high risk

  • The Care Not Custody Coalition
    cnc2018.qxp_Layout 1 18/06/2018 14:53 Page 1 2018 The Care not Custody Coalition Providing the right interventions at the right time is vital to improving outcomes for vulnerable individuals within the criminal justice system, and to breaking the cycle of reoffending. I am pleased to see that NHS England’s roll out of Liaison and Diversion services is now operating across over 80% of the country. We continue to support this important work, which places clinical staff in police stations and courts to provide assessments and referrals to treatment and support for a range of vulnerable offenders. Further building on this approach, we are working with the Department of Health and Social Care, Public Health England and NHS England in setting out a clear plan for delivering community sentences with treatment requirements. This sets out how health and justice staff should work to ensure appropriate treatment is in place for community sentences, and in doing so reducing the number of vulnerable people in prison. Finally, I am also pleased to see that the National Police Chiefs Council strategy promotes simplification of the Out Of Court Disposal framework and an increased use of conditions attached to disposals. This provides an opportunity for early intervention and to see positive outcomes for vulnerable offenders. Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, the Rt Hon David Gauke MP cnc2018.qxp_Layout 1 18/06/2018 14:53 Page 2 Background The National Federation of Women’s Institutes (NFWI) has called consistently for the diversion of people with mental health needs from custody into treatment and care.

    Black Texans in the Texas Supreme Court, 1840-1907: a Database of Free, Enslaved, and Former Enslaved Black Texans; with Case Name and Justice, Year, Persons Involved, County and Judge, Decision and Facts of the Case. Compiled From Court Reports: James W. Dallam. Opinions of the Supreme Court of Texas (Republic Era, 1840-1844, with Texas Reports, cases argued and decided in the Supreme Court of the State of Texas, vols. 1-65, plus 25 Texas Supplement (1860-1861). 66 vols. St. Paul: West Publishing Co., 1883-.; vols 66- 163 (1886-1963). South Western Reporter. 300 vols. St. Paul: West Publishing Co., 1887-1928.; U.S. Reports (Cases argued in the United States Supreme Court) By Linda Sybert Hudson, Ph.D. February 10, 2014 Introduction The "Database of Black Texans in the Texas Supreme Court, 1840-1907" is available online for use by those interested in the history of Black Texans. The aim of this database online at the Portal of Texas History is to further the knowledge of slavery and free blacks in Nineteenth Century Texas. Also, historians of US slavery exclude Texas from broader legal studies because of the Spanish legal influence, or Texas was a developing slave frontier, or write that Texas Justices wrote nothing on slavery. Primarily, historians ignore Texas in broader legal studies because no easily accessible list of appellate cases is available.1 So far, more than 485 cases make up the "Database of Black Texans in the Texas Supreme Court, 1840-1907." Probably more appeals about Black Texans exist, but court reporters did not always identify individuals by race.

Writing inspection reports 1. Writing inspection reports 1.1 It is important that all reports produced by HM Inspectorate of Prisons are consistent in style and format. The following guidelines should ensure that every inspector is working to the same template and that the process of preparing each report for publication is as short as possible. Inspectors should be aware that the publication process is guided by protocols with inspected bodies. Timings must therefore be adhered to as closely as possible. Initial contributions 1.2 Each inspector, including specialist inspectors such as those from Ofsted, has three working days following the completion of the inspection to write up their contributions in full, including any recommendations and good practice.1 There is no need to format your contributions. 1.3 To keep reports clear and concise, we have produced a suggested word count and number of recommendations for each section, with the number of recommendations related to the healthy establishment assessment for each area (see Appendix II). These suggestions are intended as a guide and will be kept under review.
