"If drug misusers' issues were dealt with as a health problem, rather than as a criminal justice problem, we're likelier to have a much healthier and better society as a consequence.” Crispin Blunt @CDPRGUK Read more: bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

I was reliably informed by the production team Falling Tree Radio that there wasn’t a hope in hell we’d win… so pretty chuffed with silver! Thank you so much Alan hall Falling Tree Radio and Rebecca Lloyd-Evans and all of our brave contributors.

Quality interviewees!* *Actually immense quality of Prison Bag who opened the ears of the British public to the hidden crisis of incarceration with humour and humanity. Bravo!

😂

Alan Hall. Actually the most modest man in radio.

As recommended by a fine actor and - evidently - a man of refined taste: Prison Break “reveals stark truths”… Prison Bag Rebecca Lloyd-Evans, commissioned by Rich Knight at BBC Radio 4. Also, try Josie’s award-winning family story, Prison Bag, now on BBC Sounds.

Never thought we’d be on anyone’s Radar, let alone on a list with Fellini, John Maynard Keynes and The Idles. Thank you Tobias Menzies It’s an honour to have reached your cochlears.

I don’t know what else to do to make that happen… it’s desperate. Have you heard our first series? Prison Bag, bbc.co.uk/programmes/p09… also on BBC Sounds and prisonbag.com

Prison Bag I discovered your podcast through Tobias Menzies and wanted to let you know how informative and moving it was. I first learned about restorative justice studying Indigenous Canada and found the concept of restoring harmony very powerful and thought provoking.

On BBC Radio 4 right now, ep2 of Prison Bag's series Prison Break with Johncrilly @formybr0ther and The Centre for Social Justice. Catch up with the whole series - and its Audio Content Fund backed forerunner, Prison Bag - on BBC Sounds. Produced with Rebecca Lloyd-Evans bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

Very proud to be part of this campaign. “It is powerful to suddenly have a voice’: reframing women in criminal justice theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Chris if you haven’t had the joy of speaking to Lesley, you’ve missed out. She’s a compelling narrator and an all round amazing human. Do get in touch with her. The story of her foster child story is also desperate.

Check out Jenny Berry and get her book! You won’t be disappointed.

That is so so sad. Another IPP death. So avoidable. So wrong. My heart goes out to you and your family.

The level of continued bang up across the entire prison estate is unclear. There is a real risk that HMPPS is now addicted to ‘lockdown’ . Easy way in, long way back. You don’t rehabilitate people through a door. Is Dominic Raab bothered?

Very well said John. When Alex Chalk KC told me that prisons were safer and calmer under Covid protocols I wanted to cry. At what cost to the people inside them, and those waiting to receive them back on the outside?

Congratulations to the Best New Voice winners last night. Had lots of fun with the legendary Alan Hall and team Falling Tree Radio. It was amazing to meet Zakia Sewell at last. A real talent. Excited to watch her career unfold. Well done everyone.

This woman… ! We were lucky enough to have her on Prison Bag and she moves me every time she speaks. She truly is an inspiration. It is the best feeling ever to see her unfold her wings and fly. Huge congrats on this well deserved gold award. Big up Unchained Poetry You Rock. ❤️

Here here!👏👏👏👏👏
