Congratulations 👏👏👏 to @bridgetekee @SianOCx & the cast for such a beautiful heart wrenching cry for change in the prison system. A Visit highlights that social injustice leads to criminal injustice - punishing mothers & families with no public benefit whatever #timeforchange

A Visit is about crime, justice and childcare and who takes care of the kids when a mum gets sent to prison.

📣 BREAKING NEWS
The Lord Chancellor @ShabanaMahmood MP has made a landmark announcement on #WomenJustice.
Speaking @UKLabour Conference, she said a new Women's Justice Board will be created to reduce the number of women going to prison.

ALT A text graphic in bright orange with white text reads: Today’s announcement from the Lord Chancellor is long awaited and finally signals a recognition that women do not belong in prison. With the highest self-harm rates on record amongst women in prison, failing care for pregnant women, and the death of 2 babies in prison in recent years, the situation has long been at crisis point. Alongside many of our partners, we have long called for a future where the root causes of offending are addressed, and women can access the support they need in their communities. Nicola Drinkwater, Director of External Affairs and Campaigns, Women in Prison
