The latest paper out of our @ESRC funded @VictorianPrison project is now out in @SocCultGeog. In it we look at prison staff quarters, and the ways the prison reaches beyond its formal perimeter walls into social and domestic lives.

Excellent report by top people on how bad things are. Support the use urban sites for Cat D to support resettlement, increase RoTL jobs and boost reintegration but HM Treasury wants a 6% cut in prisons budget so sadly the scale of investment needed very unlikely. We can but hope

This week, the government promised to spend £100m to fix the problems in just one prison – Wandsworth, built in the mid-19th century.
Today we share new research that explores the need for a clear strategy on Victorian prisons: howardleague.org/news/resear… @VictorianPrison

The first patient has been recruited to the @unibirmingham run FARGO clinical trial, testing a new treatment to improve quality of life for patients living with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), a rare liver disease. @BirminghamBRC @CholestasisDoc birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/f…

This just fills me with so much hope! Good luck @JamesTCobbler

Prisons tend to be located near to sources of environmental pollution – and are also polluters themselves. Prisoners cannot avoid exposure, and there have been numerous reports of adverse prisoner health and wellbeing outcomes attributed to local environmental quality. 1/7
Our previous recommendation - that prisons should expand green spaces wherever possible - still holds. But we can nuance this to also say that these green spaces should be as biodiverse as possible, supporting schemes aimed at improving the biodiversity of prison estates. 6/7
