Ian Acheson - Screwed - Britain’s Prison Crisis and How to Escape It
Ian Acheson has served for twenty years as both an officer and Prison Governor. In 2015, the then Secretary of State for Justice Michael Gove, asked him to lead an independent review of prison extremism which laid bare a corporate culture of ineptitude, secrecy and arrogance that threatened national security. Nothing has changed Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty’s Prison Service told from the front line. This hard hitting account looks at the politics and the operational decisions that have driven our prison to rock bottom, where extreme violence, indolence and victimisation are normalised. Acheson also outlines how a new corporate culture and mission can achieve a much needed revolution in the way the service is run. in conversation with Jamie Giles Priority booking - Become a Friend - Contact TIC Bridport to book tickets - 01308 424901| When: Monday 4th November 2024 @ 10.30 am |
