The UK prison system is broken. Far from working to deter or rehabilitate, 80% of criminals who receive cautions or convictions are reoffenders. Many prisoners are caught in an endless cycle of brutal sentences, facing a lack of housing or job opportunities once they get out.

VICE speaks to former prisoner and filmmaker Chris Atkins about his new book, ‘Time After Time’, which investigates why so many prisoners can’t stay out of jail.

0:37 "You don't have a prison system of such, you just have places where they warehouse the mentally ill and drug addicted" says it all. Same thing in the U.S.

Remember, if you want to change any of this, that's "student politics" and you're being "unrealistic"

Interesting to compare the results of the UK, US and Norwegian prison systems. It may seem counter-intuitive, but treating prisoners like humans, giving them responsibility and focusing on work and housing really does work (as proved by the numbers). Short-term cost, for long-term benefit.

It's not only important to treat prisoners as humans while in prison, it's important to remember they're human when they're back outside too. I understand there's some crimes that will forever be unforgivable, but the system needs to change and so does our judgmental society, on many various topics beside this one.

I spent most of my 20yrs behind bars… been home for over 10yrs and it’s having those from the inside share like this that truly makes impactful change happen. HUGS 🎉🎉

rehabilitation could be justice . They released the guy who killed my uncle. A part of me was pissed but a part of me had to ask is it time? It was during a time I started to really feel for prisoner that he was let go. Rehab is something a lot of people need and if we can change peoples lives for the better it's our responsibility.

We, across the pond, feel you. Especially when it comes to the criminal justice system, recidivism, drug, and policy reform. It's quite honestly identically parallel. Reform. Reform. REFORM of our polices and policing. Period.

Gambling is a major reason for crime, it’s very excisable either on line that can be done from home or in every high street . It’s aimed at the poor and people can’t afford to lose money ,so they chase their losses often end up committing crime to get money to gamble. It’s also legal and advertising it everywhere.

I went to prison for stupid drunken violence for 18 months about 14 years ago. They wanted me to do BS courses to prove i knew what i did was wrong. They were convinced i had an 87% certainty of being back in prison within a year and because i said i will finish any scumbag they put me in a cell with when they sleep, that i have psychopathic tendencies (It was the environment). Long story short, i worked, saved money, told them to stuff all their mental rehab nonsense, got out and never re offended. They thought they knew me better than i knew myself 😂. Now i have more experience and skills than most people and i have a decent career and family. That's a big middle finger to all the rubbish that the cps and probation thought they knew about me. I had a laugh in hotel hmp. Card games, chess, gym, work and table football. It is what you make it.

Our ideas of rehabilitation usually revolve around education, job skills, and counseling. But this approach guarantees that many prisoners leave prison as merely better educated and better skilled criminals. Until criminals are taught how to know and feel their connection and value to others, learn how to shift their realities with positive thought, and are taught exactly how to live within society, no true transformation will take place.

DHL won a contract back in 2022 worth £375 million to supply prisoners with their weekly Canteen. Prisons make a huge profit off of this by overcharging for goods when they’d be a lot cheaper on the outside.
