The Howard League for Penal Reform has a long and strong history of working alongside the academic and research communities. A guiding principle of our work has been to develop new ideas and understanding of the consequences of changes and innovations in the penal system.
Crime, Justice and the Human Condition conference will be held on 13–14 September 2022 at Keble college, University of Oxford. We will bring together conference contributions from academics, practitioners and other experts in many different fields and disciplines to explore crime, justice and the human condition, and the issues that intersect.
This briefing focuses on the experiences, voices and lessons to be learned from five young people that the Howard League met with in Autumn 2021 who had been remanded to a children’s prison.
