Prison reformer misses the point

By John Hirst

ADVERTISEMENTS
Prison reformer misses the point

Juliet Lyon the director of Prison Reform Trust and secretary general of Penal Reform International, in an article for Comment is free concludes:

"The conditions in prison may no longer be Dickensian but young mothers are still going to jail for the same reasons they were in Victorian times: poverty, debt, addiction and mental illness".

I challenge her view that women are being sent to prison for "poverty, debt, addiction and mental illness". Like men, they are sent to prison for committing crimes.
