/// An influential students' group has called for prisons to be abolished because they are 'sexist and racist' in the latest in a series of far-Left interventions by the student movement. ///
That measure will go a long way in increasing their membership numbers, at least.
Ah, and the The National Union of Students 'BLACK' students' conference have the audacity to mention the word 'racist'.

Well this is what the NUS women's conference came up with, still waiting to hear what the NUS Men's and the NUS white conferences come up with.
Maybe a long wait.
/// Last month the NUS women's conference passed a similar resolution, titled 'Prison Abolition is a Feminist Issue', which called for 'community and transformative justice' to replace incarceration. ///

There is one major flaw in the argument that prison cannot be an available sanction: all other forms of penalty, including "community and transformative justice" require the co-operation of the criminal. Everything from Conditional Discharges, through fines and community orders (which I suppose what is imagined when "community and transformative justice" is mentioned) requires those sentenced to comply with the penalty. People fined must pay their dues; those sentenced to a community order must turn up when and where they are directed. So what happens when they refuse to comply with their "community and transformative justice" sentence. Do the authorities say "OK then. We've nothing else available with which to punish you, so we'll call it a day"? Or do they do something else? And if so, what exactly, since all the prisons have been closed?
