Newsflash | A summit on alternatives to female custody

SAVE THE DATE

A summit on alternatives to female custody

Hosted by the Worshipful Company of Weavers and managed by Clinks

30 January 2025, Church House, Westminster, London

In 2030 The Worshipful Company of Weavers, the oldest of the City of London’s livery companies, will be 900 years old. In 2024 the Company also celebrates 50 years of support for criminal justice charities working with people in prison and in the community upon release. To mark both these milestones the Company intends to add its support to halt the cycle of women being sentenced to prison which is known to lead to higher reoffending rates, and greater family breakdown. The Company wishes to ensure more effective community interventions are available.

The Ministry of Justice’s 2018 Female Offender Strategy recognises the ineffectiveness of short sentences and seeks to reduce their use, along with the need to reduce the population of women in prison.

To further that aim the Weavers’, supported by Clinks, will host a summit in central London on 30th January 2025 that brings together key people to discuss what interventions are necessary to end the imprisonment of women and so deliver improved outcomes. This event targets senior strategic leaders and is by invitation only.

Looking towards 2030, the summit will be a starting point for creating connections and collaborations resulting in long-term partnerships for change. We want senior leaders in the women’s sector to ask questions and pose challenges, using the opportunity to build strong foundations for a bold new approach.

We would like you to be a part of this thinking.

To find out more please email weavers@clinks.org.

At the summit the Weavers Company, supported by Clinks, will detail a competition to establish a consortium to advise the Company on a specific intervention that will shape and drive change in the way that the criminal justice system responds to women’s rehabilitation whilst also reducing the use of ineffective custody. The successful consortium will work with the Company shaping and detailing the intervention prior to launch by their 900 year anniversary in 2030. £35,000 will be available to the successful consortia. Details of what is required and how to enter the competition will be made available later in 2024.

This ambitious programme of work continues the Weavers’ commitment to criminal and social justice over the last fifty years. It is rooted in the knowledge that you and others are committed to the ideal of radically reducing the use of prison for women and changing what justice looks and feels like for women. And our belief is that if we create something together we will have a far greater chance of success.

Please save the summit date and look out for your invitation to join us in this exciting new venture.

Kind regards

RR3 Special Interest Group on Community Provision Terms of Reference

Jason Watt 26 Jul 2024 - 13:30

The Reducing Reoffending Third Sector Advisory Group (RR3) has established a special interest group (SIG) on Community Provision.

The Group will explore the resourcing and modelling of community provision for people in contact with the criminal justice system, within the context of an increase in demand for community services. The Group will focus on (but will not be restricted to) the following areas:

Mapping the landscape of existing commissioned services
Understanding current treatment capacity – incorporating both substance misuse and physical and mental health support services
Community sentences, including the usage and uptake of Community Service Treatment Requirements (CSTRs)
Out of Court Disposals (OOCDs)
Modelling the community provision ‘offer’ – best practice.

This group terms of reference sits alongside the terms of reference for the main RR3.

CLINKS MEMBER’S NEWS: young women's education in prison

A new report, published by Prisoners’ Education Trust, demonstrates the powerful role education plays for young women in prison and on release.

The Young Women’s Education in Prison report explores the experiences of young women - aged 18 to 24 - who spend time in prison and their relationship with education and work.

The report shows that education and purposeful activity can help young women to envisage a positive future after their release and offer practical stepping stones towards further study or employment.

It makes a series of recommendations to ensure that every young woman can experience these benefits, including the need for tailored, gender-informed support and education provision and an increased use of ROTL so young women can access educational opportunities in the community. Read the report here

ICVA scrutinised custody records of those who had their clothing removed and given anti-rip clothing. As a result of this thematic review an interim report was produced.

ICVA have released an update report, which contains updated information from stakeholders, members and an overview of the responses to the ICVA recommendations. You can read the report here and their press release here.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: Standard Determinate Sentences announcement

A statutory instrument (SI) was laid before Parliament on 17 July to reduce time those sentenced to eligible Standard Determinate Sentences (SDS) serve in prison from 50 to 40% of their sentence.T This will apply to both men and women, and the SI needs to be debated and approved by Parliament before it becomes law.

There will be exceptions – sexual offences, offences most commonly associated with domestic abuse, and violent offences with sentences of 4 years or more.

The measure will be applied to sentences given in the future, and applied to those already in prison who are at or past the 40% point of an eligible sentence when the changes come into force.

The SI will have two recommended commencement dates for two tranches of releases – SDS40 will apply firstly to those serving sentences of under five years (coming into force on 10th September) and then apply to 5 years and more sentences, coming into force for those cases on 22nd October.

MEMBER FOCUS: Mwanzo Project CIC

CLINKS MEMBER’S NEWS: responding to the emergency measures

RJ4All share their position on the government's emergency measures addressing the current crisis in the prison system.

In response to the Lord Chancellor's announcement of urgent measures, RJ4All strongly advocate for restorative justice to address crime's root causes and support both harmed and harming parties. The current system is failing, and early prisoner releases alone won't resolve underlying issues. Restorative justice, focusing on healing, conflict resolution, addressing power abuse, and fostering community cohesion, can complement the formal legal system.

More data proving the crisis of the current criminal system, along with strong evidence through building the world's first restorative justice postcode in London, can be found in RJ4All’s recently released Open Letter to the Lord Chancellor.

CLINKS MEMBER’S NEWS: help shape Prisoners Abroad

Call out for people with lived experience of overseas imprisonment - Help shape the future strategy of the charity Prisoners Abroad.

For over 45 years, Prisoners Abroad has worked to protect the health, wellbeing and basic human rights of British citizens detained abroad. Prisoners Abroad is in the process of determining their strategy for the next five years. It's a chance to think about what should be different and what Prisoners Abroad's role should be in making that happen. Prisoners Abroad exists solely for the thousands of British people affected by overseas imprisonment every year, so they want to hear from people with lived experience of overseas imprisonment, as well as families and loved ones – no matter how long ago that was.
