Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I have had a lifelong interest in criminal justice and penal policy which is why in 2005 when I was asked by the Howard League for Penal Reform to lead an independent inquiry into the use of restraint, solitary confinement and strip searching in penal institutions for children I accepted.  I felt passionately behind the rationale for the inquiry, that the rule of law and the protection of human rights should apply to all children equally, regardless of whether they are detained or in the community. More needs to be done to prevent people, young and old, from coming into conflict with the justice system and this is why I am supporting the Howard League so that it can continue its great work to help achieve real change for the next 150 years.
