Judge Justing rolling ten deep

DJ Philips, D and Liam, lists Clerk, 

 

 

 

 At 6' 2" in his stockinged feet, D completed his DRR order today, completely off heroin, reducing 5x5x5 Methadone, coming off cocaine, got himself on a training course learning painting and decorating, all in 15 months. Outcomes, not doublespeak and rhetoric. This was such a pleasure to be part of, human to human.

"Judge Juston saved my life," He said tearfully as he stood up to hug the District Judge with a 20% reduction in reoffending rate , one of the highest in any UK courtroom and certainly in any DRR treatment programme.

Keeping the main thing the main thing, out of the circle of punishment and control, profit lead criminalization and probation services cosying up with some not very nice prospective partners as more of their functions are privatised, after endless failures at cutting reoffending and addressing the root causes of crime. 


All in all a great week.  Pure justice at work. . 

"Human beings not human doings."
