Eastwood Park - a Gloucestershire women's prison - was given the lowest possible safety rating in a new report. Charlie Taylor, Chief Inspector of Prisons, tells JackieLongc4 “I’ve never come across conditions so poor. It was like… a Victorian asylum.”

Eastwood Park – a women’s prison in Gloucestershire – was given the lowest possible safety rating, in a report published today by the Inspectorate of Prisons.

Three women died there last year, and inspectors found rates of self-harm had more than doubled since 2019. They concluded the prison was “fundamentally unequipped to support the women in its care” – findings the Ministry of Justice described as “deeply concerning”.

JackieLongc4 What about the poor people they have attacked & robbed. If they didn't take drugs they wouldn't be in prison! Hell mend them.

JackieLongc4 Who cares?

JackieLongc4 Sadly until people realise you have to pump money into prisons to make them work then not much will change. But most folks belive the right-wing crap of bread and water etc.

RAF chief admits mistakes over 'discrimination' against white menAir Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston has come under heavy fire from the defence select committee over an 'unlawful order' to favour women and ethnic minorities when selecting individuals for training courses. UK IS JUST 1 BIG MISTAKE SINCE THEY LOST THEIR ARYAN WHITE SUPREMECY STATUS. More to the point, how is this sort of nonsense being allowed to infiltrate the RAF? Other countries must be laughing at us. Rejecting highly qualified individuals because they're white and giving their spots to people not as qualified based on race and ethnicity to tick boxes and pat themselves on the back on how inclusive they're.. These aren't jobs packing bags at Tesco ffs, racist scumbags.

RAF diversity drive 'discriminated against 160 white men' as chief admits mistakes were madeThe Royal Air Force (RAF) has been accused of discriminating against white men in an effort to meet 'aspirational diversity targets'. There'll be no need for pilots soon anyway Discrimination against people because of the colour of their skin is called racism. Discrimination against people because of their sex is called sexism. What we have here is the RAF being racist and sexist. Call it out for what it is. Imagine if black women had been excluded. On appointment Mike was told he had one job - to sort out the fast jet training pipeline........ One job & he's failed dismally. Time to fall on his ceremonial sword me thinks.
