compassion with a firm hand
Today at the Financial Mail Women’s Forum, I was totally inspired by the compassion and understanding of Sue Saunders as she spoke about her role as Governor of Her Majesty’s Prison and Young offenders Institution Holloway.
Some of the shocking statistics that Sue shared with us – Did you know that within the past 12 months there has been a 94% increase of women in prisons, 40% are violent, 80% are drug users, 58% are under 30 years old, 84% left school by the age of 16, 50% are the victims of domestic violence, many of whom are sexually abused and 30% self-harm and are on suicide watch.
