Howard League campaign at Islington Green

This Sunday, 1 August, as part of our Take Action 2010 campaign, we are setting up a prison bed within an area the size of a prison cell on Islington Green in London posing the question 'would this stop you from reoffending?' This publicity stunt will highlight that for prisoners on short term sentences, very little happens to address offending behaviour.

Everybody is welcome to turn up and support our campaign. 

Get Animated about Youth Justice

Working with the U R Boss team and a professional animator, groups of young people wrote, produced and directed three animated short films tackling the issues that really matter to them. The films were screen at the launch of U R Boss report Life inside 2010.
