In these 2 public webinars from the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, the panels check out the massive additional pressures that the pandemic has actually troubled the criminal justice system.
In this 2nd webinar we take a look at the current conditions in English prisons and explore why more has actually not been done for those in custody throughout the pandemic.
At the beginning of April, the federal government revealed strategies for the early release of up to 4,000 detainees in England and Wales, to reduce prison overcrowding and to slow the rate of infection among detainees and personnel. The Jail Governors Association and Public Health England argued that launching 10,000 – 15,000 detainees was needed.
