Probation should protect the public & support rehabilitation.
Instead, staff shortages & unmanageable caseloads put us all at risk.
This is a crisis we can’t ignore. #ProbationCrisis@hmpps@MoJGovUK
So, how does it work on here then ??
If we get several thousand followers does it mean that we have more chance of being listened to ?
Or is there some other reward ?
SENTENCE PLANNING … Any idiot knows that a prisoners release should be a structured process of resettlement, not a last-minute afterthought.
But it seems that the idiots that manage it didn’t get that memo ? @hmpps@MoJGovUKpreview.mailerlite.io/emails/webview…
LENNY SCOTT’S death should not be in vain.
This coward’s actions show how vulnerable prison work can be. Show respect for Prison Officers who are forgotten heroes❤️
