🚨I'm very excited to announce the launch of my report: Release from long-term imprisonment. This report is based on a new empirical study I conducted last year into the release experiences of people who have served very long prison sentences. prisonreformtrust.org.uk/publication/...

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

Have any of my followers submitted applications for/been successful in applying for the ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship? And if so, would they be willing to have chat about it? I've seen a few examples in other disciplines but nothing from criminology/law. 🤞

"I didn’t need prison; it didn’t touch the sides. I needed rehab. There was no 12-step programme in prison. There were no education programmes, no nothing. Chelmsford prison was a bucket in the corner." www.theguardian.com/football/202...

This year, I've decided to do my first 'Avoidant Advent' calendar. I've made a list of 24 jobs I've been putting off and am aiming to tick them off one by one to avoid taking them into the new year✅ Of course, there's also a chocolate reward for doing so...🍫 Anyone else doing anything new this year?

Yesterday some friends and I went to the Koestler Arts exhibit at Southbank, entitled ‘No Comment’. The exhibition was incredibly powerful and moving. It’s free and there until the 15th, so please go and see it!
