  I do find it very strange how few systems are built based on outcomes. Brutalising people doesn’t result in less crime, it’s just spending millions to make the problem worse.

  Woke prisons? Fresh meat to the Tories, Reform and neo-Rightists! “Bring back the birch and National Service!” we’ll hear.

    Yeah, let’s just ignore what’s actually good for the kids. What matters is appearing as close to our political enemies as possible.

    Fucking honestly.
