“The scandal over government-owned flats in #Islington poses the question ‘how many more are there?’”

by Steve Topple in @thecanaryuk

“A block of #MinistryOfJustice (#MoJ)-owned flats in Islington has been lying empty for years – all while desperate families wait for accommodation. So, campaigners took over the flats in protest – but were met by a ridiculous response from the cops.

The protest highlighted the issue of vacant government residential properties. Moreover, the government doesn’t say how many empty homes it owns – and all the while, people live through a housing crisis.”

Danny Shaw continued:
5 Nonsensical reform of
@Parole_Board which means that hundreds of prisoners assessed by independent experts to be suitable for a move to an open prison are stuck in closed jails. It runs the risk they will be let out without being tested first in open conditions.
6 Proposals for further
@Parole_Board changes which would threaten its independence & give Ministers power over individual release decisions- politicising the process.
Eds.

Danny Shaw continued:
3 A probation system that is on its knees due to years of underfunding, too many organisational changes & lack of experienced staff.
@DominicRaab
’s focus on this evident only after damning reports were published this year into the cases of Damien Bendall & Jordan MacSweeney
4. A flawed strategy on victims because [he] failed to fill the critical post of Victims’ Commissioner after @VeraBaird stepped down 7 months ago.

2 Prisons so full that police cells are being used, judges have been instructed to take capacity pressures into account when sentencing, some inmates are being fast-tracked to open prisons (where there is more space) & early release on tag is being extended.
