    The way that compassionate release from HMPs works is every bit as violent as a knee on the neck. Truly disgusting.

    Today is 9 years since the Metropolitan Police shot and killed Mark Duggan. Since then 357 people have died either in custody or following contact with British police. 72 (21%) of those deaths have been at the hands of the Metropolitan Police.

    Glad to see covering this issue. You can use our template letter to write to the Ministry of Justice ahead of this weekend's heatwave and let them know these conditions are unacceptable:

    We're pleased to have supported this important litigation. Vital that prison visits are urgently resumed. It cannot be that children continue to be seperated from their parents for an indefinite period of time. Power to all of the families involved. 💥💥💥

    80,000 people in solitary confinment in unbarable heat 23.5 hours a day in the so called "UK" Prison is a means of controlling the 'underclass' and not about real justice Look to Rojava & what the women's movement is doing to see the comunity based alternatives possible 🌱🐛🦋

    Another heatwave coming up this weekend. Keep your emails to Justice Secretary Robert Buckland coming, to let him know these conditions are unacceptable:

    Do you have any special interest books lying around? Beyond Bars need copies to send in for people in prison ⬇️

    1/2 There are a few special interest requests we have on our wish list that overlap or have a common theme so we decided to post a few of them.

    Sometimes we get messages from people wondering what they can do to organise for prison abolition. The prison industrial complex is everywhere - you can challenge it in every institution you find it in.

    Can you imagine 23 hr bang up in a cell in 30 degree heat? No air con, windows that barely open, maybe a pad mate, maybe 2, no fresh air....that’s what about 80,000 endured today...most still haven’t seen their families for 4 months...just so awful.

    The letter before action asks the government to facilitate proper and meaningful contact by implementing fit-for-purpose virtual visiting facilities and to urgently set up physical visits with the appropriate social distancing measures.

    Those caring for younger children are concerned that they will not remember their imprisoned parent. Their ability to bond with their parent has been completely taken away.

    "They can’t understand why they now can’t see their Dad all of a sudden. It’s really difficult, especially for our 3 year old who keeps asking “when is Daddy home again?” The impact of this is very traumatising for us all." (2/9)
