Being locked up in prison is hard - but often the real test comes when you're released. In part 2 of this discussion, Tahlia Isaac takes Gary inside the raw reality of life in a women's maximum-security facility: 22-hour lockdowns, mothers crying for children they can't reach, Aboriginal matriarchs ripped from their communities, and women imprisoned for nothing more than driving without a licence. Then comes the moment when the doors swing open…to no money, support, or protection. Tahlia argues that the system doesn't need fixing, it needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt, which is exactly what she’s trying to do now through her charity Project:herSELF.

In this essay, Alejandro Forero examines how bourgeois criminology weaponized positivist science to pathologize dissent, pseudoscientifically labeling anarchists as "born criminals" to justify state repression and legal exclusion. In response, Spanish anarchists repurposed evolutionary theory to propose the total abolition of prisons, advocating for a society rooted in mutual aid, rational education, and the elimination of the social inequalities that breed crime. Alejandro Forero is Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Barcelona. His most recent publications on the topic are: (2025) Anarchism and the Abolition of the Criminal Justice System: The Struggle for the Discourse on Evolution and Social Order in Spain., in Envisioning Abolition (edited by David Scott and Emma Bell), and 2023 “The new man and the abolition of punishment: Hulsman's approach and its similarities with the anarchist tradition” in Pain in Vain: Challenging the Penal System, Towards the Abolition of Punishment: On the Legacies of Louk Hulsman.   Anarchist Essays is brought to you by Loughborough University's Anarchism Research Group and the journal Anarchist Studies.

Asher says the country's ever-increasing muster is because it is ultimately cheaper to put people in jail than to pay for the support services that might keep them away from crime.

NaJei (GiGi) Webster wrote and directed the short-film, The Truth Behind The Mask - The Harsh Realities of Reentry, now streaming to 100 million viewers on Tubi. Based on her own incarceration story, The Truth Behind the Mask is one of five films presented by Represent Justice that feature lived experiences that delve into themes of reentry after prison, youth justice, alternatives to incarceration, and the criminalization of trauma. After serving nearly a decade in prison, GiGi is passionate to help the women she left behind, using her story to reveal the hidden struggles of reentry that go far beyond securing employment and stable housing; everyday tasks often taken for granted become obstacles, from navigating paperwork, shopping at the grocery store or even using household technology. There's also family and friend dynamics that may have shifted uncomfortably after so much tine away. The Truth Behind The Mask challenges audiences to remove judgment and embrace empathy for people in reentry. “The one thing I want the world to know about me is that I am NOT who they said I was. And that I really am valuable. And I really do have a voice,” says Gigi, who now spends her spare time mentoring youth and sharing the wisdom she's acquired from her formative journey. “There's more to what you see when you encounter someone who's been incarcerated,” she says. Shortly after coming home, GiGi accepted the challenge of getting custody of her younger brother to help him find stability in life. He recently graduated high school, something GiGi is extremely proud of. She continues to help educate her community on legislation and how to advocate for themselves, while seeking different ways to support the people still behind bars. In April, 2024 she was selected by Represent Justice to be an Ambassador, their flagship fellowship program that equips formerly incarcerated leaders, activists and advocates with the creative and technical skills to produce, message test, and nationally distribute short films, for systemic change. In August 2025, GiGi graduated from the RJ Ambassador program as a film maker. The Truth Behind the Mask is her first film, and she hopes to make more. On April 1, 2026, she was hired as Represent Justice's Film & Series Coordinator, proof that her life is a shining example of trauma to triumph. Film TrailerWatch her film on Tubi here!Have a Swan Dive to share?

Debido a que este caso aún está activo—y para proteger la privacidad de la víctima— el nombre de la menor no ha sido revelado por las autoridades ni compartido por los medios de comunicación. En el centro de este caso se encuentra la muerte de una bebé de tan solo 4 meses, una pérdida inimaginable. Estaba en una etapa en la que dependía completamente de los adultos a su alrededor para su seguridad, cuidado y amor. Sin embargo, según los investigadores, fue sometida a daño por alguien que tenía la responsabilidad de protegerla. Por respeto a ella, es importante que su historia se cuente con cuidado. No solo como un caso, sino como un recordatorio de la responsabilidad que todos compartimos en proteger a los niños—especialmente aquellos que son demasiado pequeños para defenderse o pedir ayuda. Puede escuchar nuestro NUEVO episodio en Spotify, Apple Podcasts y todas las demás plataformas de transmisión. — Because this case is still active—and to protect the privacy of the victim—the child's name has not been released by authorities or shared by media outlets. At the center of this case is the death of a 4-month-old baby, an unimaginable loss. She was at a stage of life where she depended entirely on the adults around her for safety, care, and love. However, according to investigators, she was subjected to harm by someone entrusted with protecting her. Out of respect for her, it is important that her story is told carefully—not only as a case, but as a reminder of the responsibility we all share in protecting children, especially those who are too young to defend themselves or ask for help.

AI is being deployed across courts, police departments, and corrections systems. Without the right guardrails, it could amplify existing biases. But, with care and attention, there are opportunities to improve the experience of people within these same systems. Host Stephen Goldsmith speaks with Dr. Andrea Headley from Georgetown University's Evidence for Justice Lab about what governments need to know about AI in criminal justice, how to identify and reduce bias, why transparency matters for public trust, and the devastating consequences when humans aren't in the loop.

In this Private Lounge conversation, Carmen sits down with Dallas criminal defense attorney Nicole Knox, known for her federal trial work, rare full acquittals, and more than 60 not‑guilty verdicts. Nicole talks about why the 14th Amendment matters so deeply to her, how due process actually works, and why every person — regardless of the accusation — deserves a real defense.Nicole shares how she went from broadcast journalism to law school, the early insecurities she had to push through, and the unexpected mentorship that shaped her career: working under Steven Jones, the attorney who defended Timothy McVeigh in the Oklahoma City bombing trial. She also opens up about the realities of practicing law, the gap between legal education and courtroom work, and what she learned from being a victim, a juror, and a litigator.This episode offers a grounded look at criminal defense, constitutional rights, and the human side of practicing law — with candid moments about confidence, communication, and what it takes to stand up for people inside a system that doesn't always treat them equally.Topics include:• The 14th Amendment, due process, and why it's the “glue” of the Constitution• How journalism shaped Nicole's courtroom presence• The mentorship of Steven Jones and lessons from high‑stakes federal trials• What people misunderstand about criminal defense• Why every client has a defense — and how to find it• The difference between learning law and practicing law• Gender, confidence, and building leadership for women attorneysThank you for stopping by.  Please visit our website: All About The Joy and add, like and share.  You can now watch the livestream version of the show on YouTube at @CarmenLezeth You can also support us by shopping at our STORE - We'd appreciate that greatly.  Also, if you want to find us anywhere on social media, please check out the link in bio page.

Action Society' first Criminal Justice Trust Indicator shows that public confidence in justice has collapsed to 4 out 100. In this interview with Chris Steyn, Action Society's National Spokesperson, Juanita Du Preez says the score of four out of 100 should be such a wake up call for the whole criminal justice system. “People do not believe that if a crime is committed against them, they will get justice. So we have a skewed picture of crime happening in the country because it's not reported because people believe there will be no justice. So we can think it's getting better, but it's actually just getting more underreported. And that is very, very worrying.” Du Preez outlines the goal of the survey, the key findings, and a practical reform agenda. “So it's a complete system overall that we need, and we believe decentralising it so that we can do public-private partnerships is the first tangible thing to be implemented - and it will bring results.”

Yvette Borja interviews lawyer and justice educator Courtney Teasley about her resource "Disrupt the Criminal Justice System of Oppression: The Easy Way to Learn Your Rights." They discuss the work of Emeffen, the organization that Courtney founded and leads, to proactively fight mass incarceration and reform the criminal justice system.

Drawing on his experience as a former prosecutor, Trey breaks down why he feels the legal handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case has been "inexplicably bad." He explains the legal mechanics of a criminal conspiracy and why the inclusion of high-profile names in the recent DOJ file release feels more like a calculated "publicity stunt" than a genuine pursuit of justice.

The second Part of Sir Brian Leveson's Independent Review of the Criminal Courts was published last week but largely overlooked in light of the Mandelson scandal.    In this week's episode Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by Sir Brian to discuss the details of his mammoth, Part 2 Report and to get his response to the very strong criticisms from both the legal profession, the judiciary and politicians from all sides to his first Report on jury reform.  Sir Brian's Second Report covers a vast range of issues which, if enacted in full, certainly do have the potential to achieve radical change in the way our criminal justice system functions.  His recommendations include the creation of a Criminal Justice Adviser to the Prime Minister with the aim of co-ordinating a single vision for the currently fragmented criminal justice agencies (police, courts service, CPS and prisons); a National Listing Framework to reduce the number of ineffective hearings; the setting up of remote hearings by default for preliminary hearings in the Crown Court and first hearings in the magistrates courts to reduce travel to and from court centres; vastly increased use of AI for case management; legal aid reforms and numerous other significant changes to promote increased efficiency.  Are Sir Brian's recommendations really new?  And what are the chances of the Government embracing them in full, as he urges them to do, alongside increased funding for the justice system and implementation of the structural reforms to jury trial explained in his first Report?     For anyone interested in reading the full report, click here...  https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-review-of-the-criminal-courts-part-2  Learn more about your ad choices.

Who would try to hire a hitman to kill an innocent young girl? In early 2021, Riley ended a relationship with a man she had been in a year-long online relationship with after she alleges he assaulted her. Despite the breakup, he continued to message her relentlessly. Instead of backing down, Scott escalated his feelings of anger, turning to the dark web. He paid $19,000 AUD to hire a hitman to kill her. The reality of the plot became clear when police knocked on the door of Riley’s family home. It was her mother, Jamie Elder, who answered, learning that someone had tried to arrange her daughter’s murder. Jamie is now Riley’s advocate, fighting for justice while the man accused of orchestrating the hit walks free. You can follow Jamie on TikTok and support her advocacy here.

Melanie Henshaw, Indigenous affairs reporter at InvestigateWest, joins us to discuss her findings.

In this week's episode of The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, we're shining a light on the critical but often ignored intersection between ADHD and the criminal justice system.I'm joined by Sarah Templeton, CEO of ADHD Liberty, counsellor, author of The Prison Counsellor, and tireless campaigner for ADHD awareness in prisons, probation, and homelessness services. Sarah shares how her powerful personal and professional journey of late diagnosed ADHD has led her to dedicate her work to supporting those misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated by a system that labels ADHD traits as “bad” behaviour rather than unmet needs.With a fierce belief in rehabilitation, Sarah discusses common ADHD traits that can trigger "bad behaviour", practical ways ADHD can be managed behind bars without medication, and how improved understanding of ADHD can transform self-esteem, life outcomes, and even steer individuals from criminality to entrepreneurship.Her work is paving the way for a world where ADHD isn't punished but supported, and where young people are guided away from the school-to-prison pipeline.My new book, The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Toolkit, is now available, grab your copy here!What You'll Learn:Why society must stop labelling ADHD as “naughty” and start supporting it as a neurological conditionWhy ADHD traits like impulsivity and boundary-pushing are often misread as “bad behaviour”How poor self-esteem and shame in undiagnosed ADHD can drive offendingSarah's work to create ADHD awareness videos in prisons How parenting can be the turning point between criminality and creativityThe urgent need for ADHD screening in schools, prisons, probation, addiction and homelessness servicesWhat managing ADHD without medication or exercise looks like in prison (e.g. breathwork, mindset strategies)The role of ADHD awareness in rehabilitation The importance of research into ADHD and criminality, and the transformational effects of diagnosis and rehabilitationUnderstanding ADHD as a condition rather than a moral failing can significantly enhance self-esteem and promote recovery for those affected, as well as improve the criminal justice system.

Law & Order: Criminal Justice System tells the real stories behind the landmark cases that have shaped how the most dangerous and influential criminals in America are prosecuted. In its second season, the series tackles the threat of terrorism in the United States.

She also co-hosts the true crime podcast Anatomy of Murder, and hosted the TV series True Conviction.During her first semester of law school, Nicolazzi felt particularly drawn to her criminal law class, and knew then that she wanted to be a prosecutor. "I thought it would be very exciting and in my mind, hopefully doing some good," she told NBC Insider. "Something that I felt was contributing to society."And she soon landed a job in one of the country's largest district attorney's offices. "Brooklyn is a city within a city in New York and I stepped into that courtroom, and I watched people on trial and I just knew, that is exactly what I wanna do," Nicolazzi said.During her time with the Brooklyn District Attorney's office, she tried more than 50 felony cases, including 35 homicides. "I love the challenge of putting the pieces together of a puzzle - having to then pack that all up, and explain it to a group of 12 citizens that come from all different walks of life because the challenge is to make sure they agree," Nicolazzi said.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

While COVID-19 lockdowns affected nearly everyone worldwide, feelings of anxiety and fear were exacerbated for those already entangled in the criminal justice system. Scholars recognized the unique opportunity to study crime and the justice system's response during this period, though they soon realized that determining the pandemic's effects would be a complicated, nuanced process.Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic: Responses and Adaptations in the US Criminal Justice System (Southern Illinois University Press 2025) features analyses and findings from more than thirty contributors in eleven essays. The collection examines the multifaceted social, economic, cultural, legislative, and policy responses to COVID-19 and their impacts on crime and justice. It also explores how professionals across the criminal justice system—police officers, campus police officers, attorneys, judges, correctional staff, and community supervision agents—adapted to unprecedented challenges.Through diverse perspectives and empirical approaches ranging from advanced statistical analysis to qualitative interviews, Crime, Corrections, and the COVID-19 Pandemic offers a comprehensive exploration of the complexities that affect research results. It showcases the resilience and innovation within the criminal justice field and details the challenges professionals in this area tackled during a universally trying time, presenting valuable lessons for future crises.

During her career as a midwife, Dr Laura Abbott – now an associate professor in research at the University of Hertfordshire – became interested in the plight of women who gave birth in prison, or were separated from their babies by incarceration. And so she founded the Lost Mothers Project: a research project exploring the effects of mandatory separation of babies from women with Criminal Justice System involvement. As the Lost Mothers Project prepares to take its findings to Parliament, Jen chats to Laura about the vital work being done, an increased awareness of the England and Wales prison system for women, and why change needs to come now.

Per Emile, “I wrote this book for many reasons. I'd been organizing for a decade in prison, and I witnessed the ways we in justice work have beautiful, courageous intentions and yet we often exacerbate the problems we fight against. Back then I felt like I didn't have the right frameworks to have this conversation. I dedicated the next ten years to thinking them through. I wrote Ghost in the Criminal Justice System not as a solutions book. I wrote it as an offering of these frameworks in the hopes that you will share them in your communities, so that we can come up with solutions together.”Confirmed Book tour dates in Oakland, San Francisco, Santa Cruz and Chicago: https://www.reframeconsults.com/events - please RSVP!Ghost in the Criminal Justice Machine: Reform, White Supremacy, and an Abolitionist Future is also a great teaching tool.
