Italy’s right-wing coalition government is seeking to #ban Italians from using #surrogacy to have children, even when done abroad. Those found guilty of using surrogates could be face #prison time and #fines according to a draft bill approved by parliament. 
The divisive proposal was met with protests by the Italian public. Surrogacy and its promotion have already been banned in Italy since 2004. Italians have since been forced to find #surrogate mothers in other countries where it is legal.
Some proponents of the ban call it “procreational tourism”. They view it as a degrading practice that exploits women economically. Prime Minister Giorgia #Meloni supports the draft ban despite Italy’s declining #birthrate and the country’s looming demographic crisis.
Westminster Hall debate on Imprisonment for Public Protection (#IPP) Sentences, @CommonsJustice report and Government response – Thursday 27 April 2023: highlights 🧵 1/44
Opening the debate @CommonsJustice chair @neill_bob explains #IPP sentences were abolished in 2012 mainly because “far more people fell within the scope of the scheme than had been the political intention”, but Govt “did not deal with those who were already serving sentences”2/44
“621 of those prisoners are at least 10 years over their tariff and 222 of those received a tariff of less than two years” @neill_bob reveals – “five times longer than the index sentence that … the judge who heard the facts thought was the appropriate tariff for the offence”3/44

"Guys are v. excited to get behind a coffee machine, seeing how it works, and how to make a coffee. We move away from 'theory behind coffee' to actually doing it: learning whilst doing. Guys love it. They become more confident [...] It gets competitive. But they love the process"

We know that pregnancy is contraindicated towards a #healthy pregnancy & being incarcerated while pregnant is harmful to both the pregnant person and the child - #reproductivejustice is what we are fighting for today #copolitics @elephant_circle @S2SSisters
Correctional facilities are not mandated to track or report pregnancy-related data & most facilities do not have any routine process for collecting such information - another reason why we are saying YES on HB23-1187 #copolitics #leadership #reproductivehealth

#Prison #Récidive Une récente étude @justice_gouv actualise notre connaissance de la récidive en France. Il s'agit du suivi d'une cohorte de condamnés détenus libérés en 2016.
Le résultat central : 54% ont commis 1 nouvelle infraction (ou +) dans les 3 ans, inscrite au Casier⬇️

Deux points assez surprenants :
1⃣ la courbe de la récidive des sortants de prison est exactement la même qu'il y a 20 ans :
- Cohorte des sortants 2002 : justice.gouv.fr/art_pix/cahier…
- Cohorte des sortants 2016 : justice.gouv.fr/art_pix/Infos_…

2⃣ Mais en 20 ans, l'écart de récidive entre "sorties sèches" et "sorties aménagées" a été divisé par plus de 2 !
- En 2002, on constatait un écart de l'ordre de 16 points sur la récidive à 5 ans (63% en sortie sèche contre 47% avec aménagement)
- Aujourd'hui, écart de 6 points!

Thread. À Fresnes, rien ne semble avoir bougé depuis la construction en 1898. Ni le vaste porche d’entrée, ni les trois immenses bâtiments qui barrent le quadrilatère ceint de murs, les « divisions ». La délégation sillonne ce lieu d’Histoire. #prison

bvoltaire.fr/reportage-fres…
Les trois « divisions » sont desservies par des couloirs voûtés : 5 à 6 mètres de plafond à vue de nez, parquet au sol, fresques au mur représentant d’anciens prisonniers célèbres. #prison
Chaque « division » est identique : vaste couloir central coiffé d’un filet (pour parer aux chutes volontaires des détenus qui enjamberaient les parapets), trois étages à droite et à gauche percés de petites portes de bois, basses, étroites.
1. A thread on mainstream theories of incarceration - retribution, rehabilitation, deterrence, restoration, incapacitation - which are gaslighting narratives that provide a smokescreen for racial capitalism:
2. Many critics say the American carceral system is based on retribution but I disagree. It's based on racial capitalism. All of the above principles - not just retribution - are in fact utilised to enforce a system of racial capitalism...
3. If you look at actual court cases, sometimes judges sentence someone to punish them; other times, they sentence someone "for their own good," because they "can't take care of themselves"...
This is my research into the Kafkaesque user experience offered by @FAFSA when chatting with the Federal Student Aid Information Center to find out very basic contact information for an incarcerated borrower.
This means that unless an incarcerated borrower is at the rare prison that has approved the 1-800 number for @usedgov or there is a prison staff who helps them call, they have no way to find out basic #studentloan info like servicer or balance, even if they have outside help

I recently spoke at @verainstitute‘s 60th Anniversary Gala and shared some of my story of how I got my first chance to be the person I wanted to be in prison. Here’s more about my journey and what it says about “chances” for system-impacted people.
I talked about needing to prove myself right. But I didn’t care what other people thought. It was always for myself. No one should have to prove their humanity for basic needs. We all deserve a quality education, regardless of zip code, race, or incarceration status.

More than 10.3 million people are held in penal institutions around the world, yet the linkage between individual features of the physical #prison environment & the lived experience of imprisonment has received minimal scholarly attention.

It is important to explore the practical implications of an ethically designed prison. Alongside securing humane & just prison environments, prisons should also contribute to the realization of other correctional aims like rehabilitation, safety, & successful reintegration.
Correctional staff may considerably benefit from ethically designed prisons, so they are not being asked to do “impossible work in impossible conditions”. Still, corrections budgets are often tight, & what is most effective to invest in needs careful evidence-driven assessment.

C’est facile de sortir des fausses évidences en 2 phrases sur les plateaux TV sur des mécanismes répressifs complexes. Depuis l’invention de la prison pénale, on a toujours enfermé en grande majorité les plus précaires, dont les personnes ayant migré récemment font partie. 3/10
Grateful to #Virginia's Lt. Gov-Elect @WinsomeSears for making time to meet with some of the incarcerated men participating in @prisonfellowshp’s Academy program at the St. Bride's Correctional Facility. #VisitAPrison

A few more observations on sex offenders, a topic that is very much in the public eye at the moment. Yesterday I watched #FourLives. Stephen Merchant was excellent as Port, a very limited and mediocre man, yet one who still ran rings around the ineptitude of the authorities.
Making society safer and preventing victims not only includes the need for resources, but also requires a comprehensive understanding of accurate offense patterns and risk. Who victims are, how offenders act. A great deal is now digital, or has links to.
Offenders will take steps to cover their tracks, they will not willingly face justice, they will lie, manipulate, mislead. What wasn't shown in #FourLives is Port used friends abroad of one victim to stay informed about how police were investigation was progressing.
