It doesn’t actually *matter* if a male in a women’s prison is a violent offender or not - you put him in there and it ceases to be a women’s prison. Society has in large part failed these women. Deprioritising their needs to keep a man safe from other men fails them again.

@The_Fence_Mag I met Tony Hadley in a car park in Sheffield. It is one of the biggest regrets of my life that I did not have the following exchanges: 1) “Do you have to pay at this car park?” “Only when you leave” 2) “How do you get out?” “Through the barricades”.

@EmpathyandTrust @DrHoenderkamp This is because of a bit of research from the 1970s that the single use nappy industry latched on to and spent a lot of money convincing people was “science”. The optimal time to potty train a child is actually about 12-18 months.

@AdamPerkinsPhD Friends of mine who had AAA at A level in the right subjects & plenty of other UCAS fodder were turned down for medicine but accepted for biomedical science and told to convert to medicine later. Presumably for additional fees.
