'I was convicted of a murder I didn't see happen - the law needs to change' - Mirror Online #jointenterprise can give a child a life sentence for murder even when he’s 200yards away from the place where someone else did something deadly. ⁦JENGbA⁩ mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

5 years ago today, Julian Assange was locked up in Belmarsh maximum security prison.

This is an attempt not to break him but to kill him, slow murder of a man who's not been convicted or charged with anything except journalism.

Julian Assange is dying for your right to know…

I was really impressed by how many turned out to hear about their local jail. When people learn the reality of our prisons, they are outraged.

Jackie Long Sally Chesworth Søren Munk Donna-Marie Walton Thank you so much to you all for helping to shine a light on the issues at Wandsworth and other prisons. Our society deserves much better than this.

“Lawless, inhumane “ a place that “maims” the prisoners and the people who work there .
Wandsworth Prison and the public fight back to make it better.

“Using Lived Experience to Understand how Prisons should be Reformed” is underway now! Great discussion about the embodied knowledge of experiences in prison policy Prison Reform Trust

Fr Angela Rayner SMMS Prison Reform Trust They are, undoubtedly, the Victorian Assylums of our time, in which 🇬🇧 is up there with 🇷🇺 & 🇺🇸 in having the highest rates of imprisonment per head of pop'n. They are not safe places & there are implicit theological roots to the media-fuelled obsession with imprisonment in 🇬🇧 .

“When hope goes - when hope goes from staff and prisoners’ eyes, that’s when prisons become awful, dangerous places... The key thing is inviting the outside in. Keep talking. A closed system will pull rank”.

Katherine Jones JENGbA My boy, given a life sentence with a minimum of 17y for a crime someone else did. With you all the way.

#followbackfriday If you believe in justice. Follow me and our @jengba family. We fight for the outdated doctrine Joint Enterprise to be abolished. There are over 1500 Men, women and children serving life sentences for other peoples crimes.

Katherine Jones JENGbA I pray 🙏 🤲 for Strenght and Resilience to carry on for all mothers, it's a tough experience😥😥

Metropolitan Police Metropolitan BPA Andy George National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) NBPA Stop the over zealous charging for murder and using #JointEnterprise to get convictions of young black men. JENGbA have seen the figures that prove the racism in its use. The police know the people are innocent of murder but pursue convictions for commendations. It’s corruption
