Some good news here, for those of us who read regularly anyway ☺️ In the UK, the average number of books read per year is skewed by the people who read a lot. But 40% don’t read a single book. There are so many great books to read and it’s Christmas soon..

“Being forced to share a single cell with strangers, whilst also having to use broken, uncurtained toilets; eat one’s meals in this environment; and sometimes being locked up for over 20 hours a day is not respectful or humane.”:

More than 30 jails still in use today were built by the Victorians. They house a quarter of the prison population. Here we explore how 19th century design is contributing to a 21st century crisis
