The Maplehurst Correctional Complex is known as Ontario's deadliest and most overcrowded jail. In recent weeks, it's come under increased scrutiny after video footage from 2023 was released showing inmates facing collective punishment from guards in an incident one judge called a "gross display of power." Is Maplehurst an aberration or a sign of system-wide challenges? What kind of action could and should the province take? To discuss, we're joined by Demar Kemar Hewitt Executive director and general counsel at the Black Legal Action Centre Lee Chapelle Former inmate and president of Canadian Prison Consulting Brendan Kennedy Reporter on the Toronto Star's investigative team and Andrea Monteiro Founder of Ethical Correctional Consulting Inc., former director of corrections in the Yukon, and former manager of the Independent Review of Ontario Corrections See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mitrice Richardson, a 24-year-old psychology graduate, disappeared on September 17, 2009, after being released from the Malibu/Lost Hills Sheriff's Station in Los Angeles, following her arrest for failing to pay an $89 restaurant bill and possessing a small amount of marijuana. Exhibiting erratic behavior suggestive of a mental health crisis, possibly undiagnosed bipolar disorder, Mitrice was released at 12:28 a.m. without her phone, wallet, or car, despite her mother's plea to hold her until morning. Last seen alive resting in a resident's backyard six hours later, her skeletal remains were found 11 months later in a remote canyon, with her clothing 700 feet away and no clear cause of death determined. The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department faced criticism for releasing her, mishandling her remains, and obstructing the coroner's investigation, prompting lawsuits and allegations of foul play, though her death was ruled undetermined, not a homicide. Her case led to policy changes for missing persons and mental health evaluations, but her family continues to seek justice, believing she was murdered.

Hello, and welcome to episode 149 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. The sanctions news this week probably accounts for the bulk of the news. New sanctions from the EU, UK, and US, as well as the monthly report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clear Air. In the UK, the National Crime Agency has published its SARs Reporter Booklet for March, and on bribery news, more on the corruption investigation relating to people connected to the European Parliament, and the UK, France, and Switzerland launch a new anti-corruption taskforce. On fraud news, the UK has published the Independent Review of Disclosure and Fraud Offences, and the International Organization of Securities Commissions (‘IOSCO') has announced a new investors alerts portal. In terms of the major news this week, it is undoubtedly the publication of Europol's EU Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment (EU-SOCTA) 2025.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available by Monday at www.crimes.financial.

Why is UK penal policy failing so badly? This week, Ken Macdonald KC and Tim Owen KC are joined by former Secretary of State for Justice David Gauke, who has just published Part 1 of his Independent Review into Sentencing. In the face of falling crime, why do we have the highest prison population in Western Europe, and why can't we reduce our expensive addiction to incarceration? The discussion looks at how other countries have embarked on a process of prison closures, and questions why a decades long penal arms race between the main UK political parties prevents us from doing the same.Ken and Tim go on to review the Lady Chief Justice's recent criticism of Kemi Badenoch and Keir Starmer, as she accuses them of completely misunderstanding a recent judgment granting a Gazan family leave to remain in the UK. Was Lady Carr right to intervene in this way?

As Hezbollah confirms the death of its leader Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike on Beirut, hear about the religion and politics behind Hezbollah from Fawaz Gerges - Professor of International Relations and Contemporary Middle Eastern Studies at the LSE. And William talks to Myriam Shwayri from the Al-Khafat Foundation about efforts to evacuate disabled adults and children from areas affected by explosions in the city.Abortion clinic 'buffer zones' have come into force in Scotland with similar areas on the way for England and Wales by the end of October. William talks to two women on either side of the debate.'He was ebullient, generous-hearted, kind to many, and an inspirational figure. But alongside that, hiding in plain sight, was someone who manipulated and controlled others, bullied and sought to abuse his power.' That is how Mike Pilavachi, the disgraced Anglican priest and former leader of the Soul Survivor church and festivals, is described in the latest report into the scandal. We hear from Richard Scorer, head of abuse law at Slater and Gordon solicitors, about the ‘Independent Review into Soul Survivor' led by Fiona Scolding KC.Sikh sacred music, also known as Kirtan, has officially become part of the musical examination system in the UK. This has all been pioneered by Harjinder Singh, a music teacher from Birmingham who set up an academy to teach young people how to play traditional stringed Indian instruments.

There are concerns that Civil Defence isn't adequately prepared for emergencies, after failings were revealed in the response to Cyclone Gabrielle. An independent review led by former Police Commissioner Mike Bush found officials were "overwhelmed" by the disaster. Bush told Mike Hosking that the system is not fit for purpose. He says the current model sets good people up to fail, and changes are needed. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our very first #StopBurningStuff Friday Takeover podcast, campaign co-founder Quentin Willson is joined by the Rt Hon Chris Skidmore OBE to talk about clean energy, EVs, politics and the future of UK Industry. Many have hailed Chris Skidmore as a ‘Politician with principles' following his resignation from UK Government over its decision to grant new oil and gas licences. Since authoring the Government's independent Net Zero review in 2023, Chris has advocated for the transition to cleaner technologies. In this episode Chris talks about the need for greater political backing of EVs and clean energy solutions, what is at stake for UK industry and the economy if we don't embrace these new technologies, and how we can all help influence positive change at a grassroots level.

Rhys Clyne, Associate Director at the Institute for Government, set out key findings from Whitehall Monitor 2024 – the IfG's annual report into the shape, size and performance of the civil service – ahead of a panel discussion on how the civil service can be reformed to deliver for ministers. Rowena Mason, Whitehall Editor at the Guardian Rt Hon Lord Maude, author of the Independent Review of Governance and Accountability in the Civil Service Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government Rt Hon Nick Thomas-Symonds MP, Shadow Minister without Portfolio (Cabinet Office) Emma Norris, Deputy Director at the Institute for Government (Chair)
Earlier this month Lord Maude, who served as Minister for the Cabinet Office from 2010-2015, published his Independent Review of Governance and Accountability in the Civil Service. The comprehensive review saw Maude speak to former and present civil service leaders, minister and ex-ministers, former Prime Ministers, and many civil servants. Maude concludes that “the arrangements for governance and accountability of the civil service are unclear, opaque and incomplete”, and that the centre of government has become "unwieldy, with confusion about where responsibilities lie." So what is Lord Maude's plan to fix these problems and how would his 57 recommendations work? Ministers have reacted coolly to Maude's plan to split the Treasury and create an Office of Budget and Management, but is he right? What responsibilities should the Cabinet Secretary hold? And what can be done to ensure this review of the civil service succeeds when so many previous attempts have failed? To discuss these questions and more, Lord Maude joined us in conversation at the Institute for Government. The event was chaired by Alex Thomas, Programme Director at the Institute for Government.

Recall This Book first heard from the sociologist of American racism David Cunningham in Episode 36 Policing and White Power. Less than a week after the horrors of January 6th, 2021, he came back for this conversation about “asymmetrical policing” of the political right and left–and of White and Black Americans. His very first book (There's Something Happening Here, 2004) studied the contrast between the FBI's work in the 1960's to wipe out left-wing and Black protests and its efforts to control and tame right-wing and white supremacist movements. That gives him a valuable perspective on the run-up to January 6th–and what may happen next. Mentioned in the Episode David Cunningham collaborated on this article about the “common pattern of underestimating the threat from right-wing extremists.” Ulster Defence Association Kathleen Belew, Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America Ulster Defence Association Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing: FBI perspective and reported book Two of the “after-action” reports on Charlottesville that David discusses are: “Independent Review of the 2017 Protest Events in Charlottesville, Virginia” (Hunton and Williams 2017) “Virginia's Response to the Unite the Right Rally: After-Action Review” (International Association of Chiefs of Police, December 2017) Lessons Charlottesville (should have) taught us: “Prohibiting Private Armies at Public Rallies” (Georgetown Law School, Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and protection, September 2020).

On a mild summer's evening, Pat Wiggin met for Shared Ground to give us a window into the world of forestry on private lands in Nova Scotia (within Mi'kma'ki). Discussed in this episode are some of the programs that exist to support people and forest ecosystems, and the exciting emerging option of working forest easements (through the Nova Scotia Working Woodlands Trust). Also, hear thoughts on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification and related questions: If there was more transparency about where forest products came from, what would people choose to purchase? And in Pat's words, "What if wood had more of a story to tell?"The conversation also touches on the local energy market, including important considerations on the use of biomass for heating.Pat Wiggin was raised in the Halifax Regional Municipality and first became interested in Natural Resource Management while studying Environmental Science at Mount Allison University. He funded his education by tree planting in the wilds of northern British Columbia and eventually decided to go back to school where he obtained a Forestry Technology diploma at the Maritime College of Forest Technology in Fredericton, New Brunswick, and has since held positions within various organizations, providing forest management, support, and advocacy to Nova Scotia's small, private woodland owners.EPISODE RESOURCESNova Scotia Working Woodlands TrustFederation of Nova Scotia Woodland OwnersForest Innovation ProgramThe Lahey report pdf (An Independent Review of Forestry Practices in Nova Scotia)Forest Innovation Voucher through NSCCWestern Woodland Cooperative ServiceForest Steward Certification (FSC)Maritime College of Forest TechnologyNatural Resources Environmental Technology program at NSCCSave Our Old Forests campaign: website on FacebookSOOFStock music festival 2023
Today, The Two Mikes spoke with Wake-Forest University's Professor of Economics, Robert Whaples. Professor Whaples recently edited and published a book of essays by accomplished academics that is called Is Social Justice Just? The book includes a forward by the incisive commentator Jordan Peterson. Professor Whaples noted that part and parcel of the social justice movement (SJM) is the rejection of free trade, capitalism – which SJM counts as the source of racism -- and the market economy, the very things that have long ensured general prosperity in the United States. The SJM is gradually eroding national confidence in the just-mentioned items, and are intent on building socialism applied by a national government rule the people form the top down. The SJM and their goal of “equity” are designed to pick winners and losers in business as well as in individuals. Equity in regard to people means, of course, means to produce the outcomes the SJM wants to achieve, no matter whether the winners they pick to crown have any obvious merit in terms of character, education, responsible behavior, competitiveness, and experience. In terms of businesses, the winners will come in the business areas they support, which of course rules out such producers of well-paying jobs for the middle-and-blue collar classes; think of fracking, pipeline-construction, and energy exploration and development, for example. The SJM is an engine that has the potential to destroy America's economy and social amity via racism, envy, and misinformation. The road to eliminating SJM's the main products – chaos, culture wars, racism, crime, and socialism – is to restore the primacy of the jobs-and-prosperity producers of free trade, capitalism, and the market economy, and to recreate the education system for all Americans by creating charter schools and, as important, by allowing federal educational funding follow the student to whatever school he or she chooses to attend. These ideas are commonsense and tried-and-true, and they help to answer such question as:how to do social justice wrong with the poison of resentment, envy, and ignorance;how to do social justice right with the insights of philosophers and theologians;how to respect people's rights and liberties without sacrificing true equality;and how to reform flawed public policies that just make everything worse. (points are from the books' review on Amazon) --Professor Whaples book is: Is Social Justice Just? The volume was published by the Independent Institute in May, 2023, and is available at Amazon and other booksellers. --Professor Whaples also is a senior member of the Independent Institute, and the editor of its journal the Independent Review.

The Rt Hon Chris Skidmore MP joined Dr Hannah White, IfG Director, to discuss his Independent Review of Net Zero. This event was part of the IfG's Net Zero Conference. Tackling climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing governments across the world. With both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer pledging to hit ambitious emissions targets and make the UK a clean energy ‘superpower', the net zero agenda will be a major issue at the next general election. So what needs to be done to switch the UK from being an economy powered by carbon to one that is near emissions free, and does the UK have a credible plan to hit its net zero targets? To explore these critical questions, and examine what government needs to do to meet its climate objectives, the Institute for Government brought together leading politicians and experts from the UK and beyond for a special net zero conference. The morning focused on whether the UK government has the right policies in place to cut emissions. And in the afternoon we examined government's role in supporting green industries, following major subsidies announced by the US and the EU.

There's been a truce in the row over sheep on Dartmoor. Farmers were told they must radically reduce the number of sheep and other livestock on common land if they wanted to remain in government schemes. Natural England wrote to commons associations which cover much of Dartmoor, offering rollovers of existing Higher Level Stewardship Schemes, farmers said the new agreements would not allow winter grazing, and the number of animals on the land in the summer had to be reduced, on some commons by an average of 75 percent. Farmers said that wasn't viable and protested, others called it re-wilding by the backdoor and the Farming Minister agreed to an Independent Review. Now, following a parliamentary debate and some meetings, Natural England is proposing a one-year extension to existing stewardship agreements with no reduction in livestock numbers in most areas and then further four year agreements which will take into account the results of the review. Farmers in the East of England have faced water shortages for some time, but now there's a pilot project to try and tackle shortages in the West. South West Water and the Westcountry Rivers Trust are looking at paying farmers to store water on their land to help reduce demand during droughts. All week we're looking at farming pharma - the pharmaceutical products which are produced on farm, some as by-products and others as a crop in their own right. Poppies were grown here for medicine until the UK's only processing plant was closed back in 2016. Now farmers need a licence to send poppies to be processed for medicine abroad. They say they've been asking the Home Office for one for years, but still can't grow their crops for the medicinal market. Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

The quality of hospital food around the country remains a very mixed picture, despite various initiatives over the last decades. But now there is real optimism around a major Independent Review of NHS Hospital Food in England, published in 2020. Sheila Dillon looks at the barriers that have been holding back progress, and talks to Prue Leith, an Independent Advisor for the review, about the latest on progress with carrying through its recommendations. Sheila meets catering teams at the Northern General Hospital in Sheffield, and the Royal Blackburn Teaching hospital, both part of a group of pioneering ‘exemplar' NHS Trusts that are doing things differently with hospital meals, to find out how they're building a model that others can follow. Presented by Sheila Dillon and produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio in Bristol.
