Head of the prison officers’ union: we should halve the prison population | The Spectator archive.ph/2025.06.08-065…

We have options to reduce the prison population by funding public services properly. There has to be the will from Government to spend our taxes more wisely. šŸ‘‡

If we provide enough education/ vocational spaces in our jails that allow prisoners to access full time employment they at least have a chance to reform and we have a chance to do our job. We will never rehabilitate anyone in violent chaotic dilapidated prisons.

ā€œIt would be wholly irresponsible of the government not to give my brave colleagues the protections they need when dealing with violence,Using the ethnicity or age of offenders to excuse their violent behaviour is shamefulā€ theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

Cannot express how honoured and grateful I am to be re elected as POA National Chair. Heartfelt thanks to all branches that nominated me and the NEC , FTOs and employed staff for all their support. Best of luck to all the candidates in the NEC elections.

Another broken pledge by ⁦The Labour Party⁩ especially when it comes to prisons . This Government continues to outsource a completely failed model of prison maintenance . After reading this it’s hardly surprising why. ⁦POA⁩ ft.com/content/70a9fe…

We want control not chaos and staff on the frontline are up for the fight . Unfortunately many leaders want regime regime regime above safety. Weak leadership leads to this. Things must change ⁦POA⁩ šŸ‘‡ spectator.co.uk/article/organi…

Drones are not a new problem . The POA have been warning HMPPS about them for years and as usual they buried their heads in the sand hoping they would fly away .

Deliveries of weapons via drones do not help reduce the risk to my members . This Government and employer need to get a grip and get a grip now!⁦POA⁩ news.sky.com/story/prison-o…
