Fucking sick of this shit. Also, male journalists perpetuating this shit. When you’re on the receiving end of the gender pay gap, or sexual assault, or rape, or the subject of institutionalised misogyny at all; by all means, have an opinion on behalf of women Peter Jukes. Until

🔴 NEWS 🔴 I’ll be on Times Radio Sexual GIF and LBC Radio 4pm today discussing the Justice Secretary’s new package of measures to remove women from prison.

'In four months, only once was I given access to sanitary products... we were given access to razors though.' Former prisoner Scarlett Roberts explains to Tom Swarbrick why the system 'is not designed for women', as Labour plans to shut women's prisons.

Many thanks to Good Morning Britain for having me speak about women’s prisons this morning:

🔴 DIFFICULT WOMEN 🔴 “You’re a smart girl, you’re not going to talk about this, are you?” ~ Custodial Manager Long, HMP Eastwood Park Me:

"There is no such thing as dignity for women in prisons in the UK." Former inmate and campaigner Scarlett Roberts tells Sarah-Jane Mee that she believes rehabilitation for women in UK prisons is "impossible". trib.al/GYQNgO2 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233

Conversation goes to dark places in this podcast with Niall Paterson and Scarlett Roberts about life in womens’ prisons. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/sky…


What a bizarre choice of comment, from someone I admired for her relentless women’s rights activism. If Kellie-Jay Keen looked beyond what I chose to wear, she might know that I have gone from prisoner to Churchill Fellow in under two years, and I advocate for female prisoners.

Twas enormous fun recording this with Joanna Hardy-Susskind and Georgia Catt. Two phenomenal women whom I have great respect for. Thanks girls and I hope you all listen to the reality of what the criminal justice system really is.
