Pauline Campbell nicked at Eastwood Park Prison/YOI/mother & baby unit

Guido, 23-10-2006 10:59

.
At the gates of Eastwood Park Prison two rather embarrassed Policemen are gently trying to persuade retired School Teacher Pauline Campbell to unblock the road and allow a prison van to enter the establishment. Pauline is arguing that a recent fatality here suggests that Eastwood Park is not a safe place for women to be held and that the van should take its prisoners elsewhere. The Constables seem decidedly uncomfortable with the situation and summon a sergeant for advice. They knew about this demo in advance; Pauline staged an identical protest here last year following another apparent self-inflicted death. I can almost imagine them drawing lots back at the station to see who would answer the inevitable call. Eventually after 15 minutes of being bombarded with prison related facts and figures they lose patience a drag Pauline away to a waiting transport. This is the thirteenth time she has arrested since the death of her 18 year old daughter Sarah in Style Prison in 2003. However she is rarely charged with any offence. Most prisons are nervous about the prospect of giving Pauline a courtroom platform and the potential PR disaster it could bring. Read more | 1 comment >>

Prisons & Their Role in Social Control

anarchists, 14-09-2006 20:50


Ask anybody how prisons work in society and you will generally receive the same glib response: they protect society by removing 'criminal' and 'anti-social' elements, thereby making life safer for the rest of us.

Is this true? Is it the whole truth? Read more | 3 comments >>

One year on…7.7.05

Bristol - 6.7.05 (pic by Tom B)
As dusk falls, I try to remember…where exactly was I one year ago, as dusk fell?
Was I, as a legal volunteer from Bristol, monitoring protests against the G8 in Gleneagles (Scotland), still on duty outside the Stirling eco-camp attempting to monitor the police’s abuse of their powers? Or had I been replaced for the night, and made it back to our Edinburgh base (and pub)? It’s all such a blur now, yet only a year ago…

'FAIRFORD 5' and 'MARCHWOOD 14' in the High Courts. Updates From Law Lords.

compilation, 24-02-2006 19:40

The Law Lords are now debating if there is a defence open to individuals who break the law in order to prevent a greater 'crime of aggression, and if UK courts have the authority to consider foreign affairs and defence issues. This landmark hearing is borne out of the appeals of 19 people, who took direct action to try and prevent the Iraq war.
