Really enjoyed this short film on community reintegration and life after punishment, sharing research by sociologist @DrJulieParsons and people leaving prison involved with @LandWorksHQ. Ethos seems to centre around creativity, hospitality, humanity, hope. youtube.com/watch?v=ALEj2qlY…

Labrador Lol is a support to victims, and is popular with lawyers and court staff. Lol has appeared in 80 criminal investigations with victims aged from 3 to 90 years old. 20 French court jurisdictions are expected to have trained court dogs by next year. bbc.com/news/world-europe-57…

Krasner promised not to prosecute many low-level offenses. He reduced the number of people in Philly’s jail by more than 30%. The police lobby and tough-on-crime crowd slammed him. Then the voters chimed in, and approved of these policies overwhelmingly. nytimes.com/2021/05/19/us/kr…

After a year of a policy experiment, which had significant results for decreasing incarceration and crime, Baltimore will no longer prosecute low-level offences. This includes drug offences, prostitution, trespassing, minor traffic & misdemeanour offences. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Thoughtful points and practical strategies raised here by Hadar Aviram and @JonathanSimon59 on #decarceration and expediting the release of thousands of people from #prison 👇 There's credible evidence that decarceration isn't linked to increases in crime. sfchronicle.com/culture/arti…

They're often considered unlikely partners but collaborations between the third sector and startups can be mutually beneficial. From co-working spaces to accelerator programmes, there are plenty of ways these two sectors can work together nesta.org.uk/blog/three-ways…
