- Prisons full - Police cells being used as overspill - Prisoners being released early with no release plans - including some high risk domestic abuse cases. - Over 300 fewer Probation Practitioners than last year. - Police encouraged to make fewer arrests. #ToriesOut
😂😂 you're releasing offenders early because the prisons are fit to burst!! You're putting the public at risk as the overstretched Probation Service can't cope with any additional pressure. Morons, the lot of you.

👇 This. When leadership is so poor in your organisation you have to watch the news to find out what's going on. Where is our Chief Officer??

Has anybody seen or heard from our Chief Officer? We're in absolute crisis with all these early releases & no staff! Where is her leadership to steady the ship? Where is her support & recognition that this can't go on? #Probation @jimbrownblog
It's all bollocks - we were told last year we would be "fully staffed" by the end of 2023. Well that's a month away and we are nowhere close to being fully staffed as everybody keeps leaving!! Probation is on its arse and they just don't care.

Very little has changed. Probation still an absolute mess. This could happen again, at any time. #Probation BBC News - Killamarsh deaths: Probation failings contributed to quadruple murder bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Ashamed to be a civil servant under this bunch of dicks. FUCK THE TORIES. @10DowningStreet @RishiSunak #Partygate

❗A few #Probation whistleblowers have done excellent work recently making national media. We need more of this!! Share what you have with the media - show them what the working conditions are really like right now! Read the whistleblowing guidance online bbc.co.uk/news/uk-643442…
No senior manager from #Probation @MoJGovUK or @hmpps could be arsed to give comment. Says it all really.

Our Chief Probation Officer has said on our last few staff conferences that sometimes we need to look down that hill to see how far we've come. Well according to these results we have not come very far! I'm thinking of all my colleagues in London right now - you deserve better.

Another resignation this week (PO). Adding to the trainees who have already resigned. SPO seen crying at their desk. It's bloody awful. #Probation
Absolutely well deserved by all of our Prison colleagues but once again Probation ignored. I thought we were one service now @hmpps - feels like we are still the poor relation. #Probation
Don’t make a recommendation, don’t use your professional knowledge & expertise, don’t disagree with the (latest) Minister… #wtf is going on with the #probationservice @SoniaCrozier @DGProbWales and what’s happening round the table #napo @Napo_News? From a disillusioned Officer.
Solidarity to colleagues in West Sussex & West Kent who have both been rated as "Inadequate" by @HMIProbation. Will be a big blow to them when working so hard in really tough working conditions they are absolutely not responsible for creating! #Probation
I'm so tired of hearing about "resilience" and needing to ensure we all work on improving our resilience. It's an insult really - to suggest we are the problem. We wouldn't need to talk about resilience if we had manageable workloads! #Probation #HMPPS
If a civil servant i.e. me, were caught watching porn at work I would be suspended, investigated and sacked. So many MPs also under investigation for sexual misconduct. Parliament is full of more sexual deviants than a prison!!
We did not get to this staffing crisis by accident. We (frontline) could see it a mile off. It's either been a deliberate act or through incompetent leadership which has landed us all in this mess. No sign of it getting much better for at least another year. #Probation
Abso-fucking-lutely!!
