The prison population in England and Wales stands at 87,481. There are 234 more people in prison today than there were last week, and 2,823 more than this time last year. There are 83,832 people in men's prisons and 3,649 in women's prisons. howardleague.org/prison-watch/
Self-harm in male and female prisons has soared by a fifth in the last year. There was a 26% increase in self-harm among people on sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP). Published today, find @MoJGovUK's Safety in Custody statistics here: gov.uk/government/sta…
Last week, the prison population rose by 148 people. By 2028, the population is projected to reach up to 114,800 and this sustained growth has contributed to the ongoing overcrowding in many of our prisons.

It’s Student Volunteer Week! 🙌 Recent graduate, Anee studied a masters in international relations and joined @new_bridge volunteering as a prisoner befriender.💜 She got so much out of this experience and shares it with you now 👉brnw.ch/21wGTlF
I’ve always maintained that prison is for those we are frightened of not mad at. There are many people in this story at all levels we should be frightened of.
A difficult watch but TV at its best illustrating how corruption operates beyond the cliched brown envelope- we can dream on about real accountability - too many vested interests.@TransparencyUK should re-evaluate it’s measures for UK corruption. itv.com/news/wales/202…
People in prison can feel invisible, and become totally isolated, with no community links. Organisations like this one do a fantastic service.
We were delighted to receive this letter. How thoughtful to thank us for their birthday card. We ensure everyone who is waiting for a #volunteer receives, at least, one birthday card. #PeopleInPrison
@new_bridge You can feel the emotion in this writing. Lovely feedback 👏
🤩I am thrilled to see the work of our @SchoolofCJ VRA team with @new_bridge published 🤩 The report demonstrates the positive experience of being supported by New Bridge volunteers #partnership #teamwork #success #volunteer #AcademicTwitter
🚨We're delighted to launch our 2022 service evaluation report, in partnership with @Arden_Uni @SchoolofCJ 🚨 Featuring service users' reflections on the impact of their befriender, and the experience of being supported by New Bridge. Read the report at: newbridgefoundation.org.uk/news/service-e…
@new_bridge I just had lunch with my volunteer. We're still in touch years after I left prison. Amazing people and amazing support.
Dress down Friday and I’m going back into comfy pink clothes. My trainers even have bows on them 💖 Happy Friday my lovelies 🥳
@new_bridge New Bridge is an amazing organisation that bestows immeasurable rehabilitative benefits on participants. I'm still meeting my New Bridge volunteer on a regular basis years after my release.
@new_bridge Do not underestimate the positive power of a socially isolated prisoner receiving friendly chatty letters from someone outside. To have a link to normalcy from within the dark bowels of prison creates a pathway to a new positive post prison life. 'Someone sees me and cares'.
Kindness and positivity can make a big difference during prison visits. Here are some ways that @new_bridge volunteers show kindness and positivity during visits:
@new_bridge New Bridge is a truly life-changing support charity. The letters from one of their volunteers were inspiring and helped me connect with the outside world. He even met me on the day of my release and gave me a lift to where I needed to go. Simple but powerful acts of kindness.
And yet, as I argued on Saturday at the @new_bridge conference these stories never create a public scandal - prisons do not make our communities safer and are in themselves costly, violent and usually counterproductive. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
Looking forward to catching up with @ProfDavidWilson @lbilli91 @EmmaDogliani
Ahead of his keynote address at our #Volunteer conference tomorrow, Vice President @ProfDavidWilson says "New Bridge volunteers are among the best people that I know". We are excited to hear his speech! newbridgefoundation.org.uk/News/professor…
@new_bridge One of your volunteers visits my foster son in prison. He really appreciates it and so do I. Thank you to all your volunteers.
Of course I’m biased but @new_bridge is a fantastic charity doing important work to reduce crime in society.
Our fab Vice President @ProfDavidWilson explaining on @thismorning last week how we are your go-to option if you want to start #volunteering to support people in #prison. Find out more at newbridgefoundation.org.uk #charity
I had a fantastic time welcoming our new volunteer research assistants at the @SchoolofCJ today! 🥳🥳I can't wait to see how all these new projects will develop🤩 @new_bridge @honeywell_david @DPT1990 @dazzermattazz @Arden_Uni #DreamTeam
Fascinating to read @InsideTimeUK - given to me by s/o who volunteers for @new_bridge - real insight from the voices of prisoners. Unsung #charity work
Our special 20th Anniversary Volunteer Fair is in full swing now at the Davison building on campus. Drop by before 3pm to chat to a community partner and see how you could get involved? #RHVol20 #RHVolFair @RHCareers @RHCampusLife @SURHUL @RHULSPORT @RHUL_Library @iwill_movement
