Screwed - Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It

Beschreibung

When Daniel Khalife escaped from Wandsworth in September 2023, the nation got a glimpse into the heart of the prison system, and what they saw there was chaos. This came as no surprise to Ian Acheson, who had spent years warning of the disasters to come.
Screwed is the inside story of the collapse of His Majesty's Prison Service, told by someone who had a front-row seat to it all. Acheson went from officer to Governor in less than a decade, and during that time he witnessed the uniformed organisation he was proud to serve crumble into lethal disarray. This uncompromisingly brutal account exposes the politics and operational decisions that have driven our prisons to a state where rats roam freely, prisoners are forced to use slop buckets, violence and intimidation are normalised and it is easier to get a bag of heroin than a bar of soap.

Concluding that the crisis is not unfixable, however, Acheson outlines a new corporate culture and mission that puts its faith in the officers who walk the landings every day: order restored, potential rescued, society safeguarded.

    World’s Deadliest Destinations -...

    The world is full of places that, for various reasons, have earned a reputation as deadly destinations. From war zones to natural disasters, some locations are marked by extreme danger, making them almost inhospitable for those who venture too close. This chapter aims to explore the factors that contribute to these perilous places, offering a broader understanding of what makes a destination deadly. 
      
    At the core of every dangerous place is a unique combination of environmental, political, and social factors that amplify the risks for those who live or travel there. Conflict zones, for instance, are often marked by violence, political instability, and lawlessness, creating environments where human life is under constant threat. In these regions, wars, civil unrest, and insurgent groups create an atmosphere of chaos where survival can be a daily struggle. 
      
    Natural disasters also play a significant role in shaping the deadliest destinations. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions are just a few of the catastrophic events that turn once-thriving areas into desolate wastelands. These natural phenomena strike without warning, leaving little time for escape and often causing widespread devastation. 
      
    But the threats are not always as immediate or obvious as bombs or floods. Some of the deadliest destinations are places where hidden dangers lurk beneath the surface. Toxic landscapes, such as the irradiated zones of Chernobyl, remain dangerous long after the initial disaster has passed. Similarly, remote wilderness areas, such as the jungles of the Amazon or the frozen tundra of Antarctica, may seem tranquil on the surface, but they can be life-threatening to those who are ill-prepared for the extreme conditions.

    "What can we do amidst all the controversies over race and gender in society today? Do we have anything constructive to offer the world? As Jesus's followers, we do, and this book shows the way. A dangerous and revolutionary philosophy is responsible for the street fires in America. It fuels the actions of Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It invades curricula in public schools and in our military. It is in our churches. You have heard the phrase “white privilege,” the need for “safe spaces” on campuses, and perhaps the tongue-twister “intersectionality.” Behind all of these is an ideology called critical theory, which is a form of cultural Marxism that divides society into the oppressed and the oppressors. It claims that America is “systemically racist” and founded on slavery. It believes that the voices of minorities should trump the perspective of dominant culture. Unfortunately, this flawed perspective is overtaking our culture and infiltrating many of our churches. In this book, we consider the importance of critical theory, explain its origins, question its aims, and subject it to a logical critique. Listeners will -Gain a better understanding of critical theory; -See how it is permeating many aspects of society; -Discover how it opposes a Christian worldview; -Learn how to counter it constructively. A biblical alternative to matters of justice and politics is available, one that is right and true, one based on the ideals of the American founding. Find it in these pages."

    A powerful story of hope, love, and imagination, set against the horrific backdrop of the Holocaust. Two Jewish girls, Julia and Suzanne, are captured in Nazi-occupied Netherlands and transported to a ghetto. Although their world views are wildly different - Julia is jaded and bitter, Suzanne naive and optimistic - they become each other's closest confidants as they experience the horrors of the journey to 'The Paradise Ghetto'. The young women use a precious smuggled notebook to write a story. As the book unfolds, it becomes the way they communicate their growing feelings for each other. But there comes a point when reality can no longer be held at bay. If the girls' names end up on the lists of deportees to Auschwitz there will be no return. Is there a chance of escaping fate?
