@PrisonStorm Absolutely, it’s a basic right. But for anyone that feels prisoners should lose those rights, then it’s also in the public interest that healthy habits are maintained/ formed whilst behind bars.

@imogenwalsh Access to sport should never be "a perk" in #prisons, and yet the pervading Basic | Standard | Enhanced incentive schemes vary largely between prisons and Governing Governors. Check out the Incentive Levels aka Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP), in old parlance.

The importance of purposeful activity in prisons to both individual & community, mustn’t be underestimated or thought of as a “perk”. It’s vital to reduce offending on release. Sport/gym identified as one such activities. We aim to give that opportunity to as many as possible!

HMI Prisons@HMIPrisonsnews

Today, we have published a key findings paper that digs deeper into the ongoing failings in purposeful activity. Read the paper: hmiprisons.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/hmipris_report… And our media release: hmiprisons.justiceinspectorates.gov.uk/news/key-findi…

Great to see this holistic approach to nourishment. Having worked @HmpSend for some time, I know how much staff work to support & empower the women, to live a crime-free life on release. Prison is punishment, but also preventing possible future offending bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Very lucky to have worked with @bbcideas and @UniofOxford to create a short video about our research! We explain why exercising with friends can reduce fatigue and improve performance, while also helping us to build and maintain the social bonds we need to be happy and healthy.

@PeterStuart3 @shutteritch Very much enjoyed your politics as rowers analogies 😂 👏

Iain Weir@shutteritch·24 Haz

This is why I enjoy James commentating on the rowing, his lack of filter. However I’m not sure it’s a helpful trait for a politician.

Imogen is doing a fantastic job. Her kindness always fills me with a sense of optimism when I meet her.

Sport can do so much more than just build physical health. Thanks @PrisonStorm for the shout out!

PrisonStorm@PrisonStorm

#TheBoatRace is a good moment to remember that the #powerofsport is often superior approach to rehabilitation than banging people up for 23 hours a day in #prisons, with nothing to do. Award winning initiatives such as #BoatsNotBars exemplify what is possible. @imogenwalsh

@AndrewLawton_ @FulhamReachBC @LondonSport Thanks Andrew! “Looking forward” to reading the doc. sounds wrong! But the more researched evidence like this which validates programs like BnB, the more I hope the public and politicians get behind them. Only then will be really change the reoffending situation.

Re-watching “Trading Places” after many years… it’s both totally outdated and racist, but (sadly) totally on point and current at the same time.

@tkcarter82 Sadly true - it’s either incompetence or dishonesty; sadly I think the latter… And thank you! 🙏

@imogenwalsh Braverman and co have no interest in the facts, only the rhetoric that they think their voter base want to hear The work you and others at Fulham Reach to rehabilitate helps so much more than their “deterrent” approach, it’s inspiring to read about

How anyone with even the slightest awareness of the figures - produced by the MoJ and the government no less, can say this is astounding. To say it makes me angry reading this is an understatement…

Suella Braverman@SuellaBraverman

Prison works. It is a deterrent, it takes criminals off our streets and is justice for their victims. This bill will severely undermine confidence in our criminal justice system. The solution to this problem is to build more prisons, not let criminals off the hook. 3/3
