Campaigning journalist, Caspar Walsh writes a powerful, personal piece in the Huffington Post where he explains his connections both to abob and prison, and how the dramatic rise in prison suicide could be averted by more care and support for young offenders by the community.
He quotes abob Chief Executive, Nathan Roberts saying: “We believe that society has a responsibility not to punish and manage offenders but to be humble enough to recognise that a great deal of our success or future is delivered by the conditions in the first 20 years of life.”
