The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.

Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

Overcrowded, cramped and insecure: state of #UK’s #jails made conditions ripe for #Khalife’s escape

Crumbling buildings, a lack of space inside them and the high turnover of staff paint a picture of the parlous state of the #prisons service

I can't find the tooted link, but I opened up this article yesterday to read today (as a post blood test reward) and it's beautifully written and heart-breaking. But also shows the power of D&D and TTRPGs to allow people to better understand themselves and offer the chance to grow and learn. It also demonstrates how inhuman prison systems are. What a waste.

American educators are among the lowest paid folks. Politicians, mostly the #Republicans, has made sure that #education quality stays low in the public system so that there is steady supply of inmates in the privately operated #prisons that pays these politicians.

That is how financial #slavery works in #America.

And that is how American kids continue to fare poorly in #STEM education.

Significantly more #suicides in #prisons in #Germany. The Ministry of Justice wants to counter this trend with intelligent video surveillance to detect “suicide plans”:

Comme Moodle est toujours cassé, présentement en train de reconstituer le manuscrit d'une thèse des années 80 à partir des photos prises à la BU l'autre jour. Je me dis que c'est pourtant un travail de recherche dont la publication aurait été importante... #Prisons

Interviews with inspirational women in philosophy who made an impact with their research or passion for philosophy: here Bonny Astor tells us how she brought thought experiments to #prisons and #pubs https://youtu.be/W8c2tM8eNEA #ThoughtExperiments #WomenInPhilosophy @philosophy

Les Républicains US ont une nouvelle marotte : le bien être des détenus et leurs déplorables conditions de vie dans les prisons américaines du District of Columbia, dont dépend Washington

Plutôt étonnant de la part de réactionnaires qui clament que les établissements pénitentiaires ricains sont des hôtels 5 étoiles à la charge du contribuable..

Rien à voir bien sur avec les dizaines de condamnations à de lourdes peines, d'activistes d'extrême-droite pour tentative de coup d'état dans...la ville de Washington.

Cordell: Allow judges to reconsider life without parole sentences
Retired Santa Clara County Judge LaDoris Cordell is advocating that California should support SB 94, which would allow judges to reconsider life without parole sentences imposed in the 1970s and 1980s for inmates in prisons...

...there are incarcerated individuals who are completely rehabilitated but continue to be warehoused in our prisons for decades and counting. Why?

The Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture are now aware of how Ireland treats trans prisoners.

Everyone is entitled to human rights.

This is another outcome from EPATH being hosted in Ireland.

C'est un article de l'été 2022.

Spoiler : Rien n'a changé.

Ou plutôt si : les températures et le nombre de jours de canicule ont augmenté, tandis que les crédits alloués à la mise au norme des prisons françaises (140% de taux d'occupation) ont eux baissé drastiquement.

On entre alors en nécessité "d’aménagement du temps de travail" et des "contrôles renforcées de l'inspection du travail" dans certains secteurs type BTP, restauration, pressings. Vu l'anticapitalisme du gouvernement et les moyens dévolus à l'inspection du travail, sûr que les départements concernés seront protégés 👍🏼 Les préfets peuvent agir aussi de leur côté, par exemple en ouvrant les CRA et les prisons, ce qu'ils ne manqueront pas de faire.
