"More than a quarter of all prisoners in the UK reoffend after they’re released... That has risen steadily each year since the pandemic at an annual cost of £18 billion to the taxpayer. Prisons are at full capacity and it costs more to keep someone behind bars for a year than it would to send them to Eton.
It is high time, Mr Jones says, to fix this problem"
Good article on XO Bikes, which retrains offenders to repurpose donated bikes.
NEW: A drug crackdown in the Tenderloin that was supposed to encourage people into treatment focused heavily on Latinx people, yet jails offered English programs only. Service providers for Latinx inmates demanded access to the jails at last week's Sheriff’s Oversight Board meeting. This week, a Spanish recovery program was launched. But some longtime jail workers give it less than 2 weeks.
The role of Neuro Navigators in Brain Injury #Rehabilitation.
Learn how they help patients with #BrainInjury regain their lives.
I hadn’t heard of Neuro Navigators until a session at ABIL (Acquired Brain Injury Forum for London) in November 2023. These specialists are filling a large gap in #ABI care in London https://pigpen.page/neuro-navigators/
It is extraordinary that Charlie Taylor (Chief Inspector of prisons in England and Wales) is still having to say that the #prison system needs to expand #education & #rehabilitation if we are to make a difference on re-offending.
The putative & vindictive agenda of revenge, while emotionally satisfying for many is not helping wider society!
We've been told this for decades, yet 'common-sense' policies continue to appeal to prejudices about the utility of punishment.

Prison abolition means killing the cop in your head, and not policing the people around you.
Growth mindset means giving people opportunities to grow. It means seeking rehabilitation rather than punitive/retributive justice.
Drawing boundaries means defining limits for yourself — not for other people. Boundaries are for your actions, not for demanding what others will and won't do.
Compassion means giving people space to grow or not. Protecting yourself doesn't mean attacking. Let the facts speak for themselves.
If you highlight only some facts and not others, you're either unaware of a gap in your understanding — or actively creating bias. Misrepresentation and bias can come from omission as well as from saying things that aren't true.

Leftist Elected Officials Should Always Vote No on the Military Budget
It should be a matter of course that self-identified leftist and progressive members of Congress should vote down the annual bloated, dangerous, war-profiteer bonanza that is the military budget.
Last week, Senator Bernie Sanders cast a vote that should be expected of all left-leaning politicians in Congress: he voted against giving $886 billion to the Pentagon.
Exactly - the only thing we need more than a defense budget, is defense from the defense budget. It takes so much money from other needed items like fixing our horrible domestic substance dependency problem, that it weakens our country. We need so many more counselors, not nuclear bombs. #Rehabilitation#Sobriety
