Typically interesting analysis from @instituteforgovernment.org.uk. And right to point out that with access to purposeful activity already under real pressure, "cuts to prison education budgets under the Starmer government have only worsened the situation".

This will increase the capacity of HMP Elmley by nearly 25%. But their education provision has just been cut by 32% and they are already understaffed (with only 90% of the officers they should have). How will they be able to deliver a meaningful regime? www.gov.uk/government/n...

One of @prisonersed.bsky.social's trustees - the brilliant @vickicji.bsky.social - is running the @royalparkshalf.bsky.social on Sunday. Please sponsor her and make it all worthwhile... www.justgiving.com/page/vicki-m...

You're obviously in contact with the @thehowardleague.bsky.social for penal reform. They've recently raised again the issue of woefully inadequate education provision in juvenile detention, where there's an average of 15 hours of purposeful education a week. Graded in-cell learning packs would help.
