A Sentence with No End? The Order for Lifelong Restriction

In this episode I talk to Nicola Ceesay and Dr Marguerite Schinkel about Order for Lifelong Restrictions (OLR) in Scotland and the realities of living with a sentence that feels like it has no end. Nicola, who has spent the last few years researching the Order for Lifelong Restriction as part of her PhD thesis, explains why these sentences exist, and she tell us about the impact they’ve had on the people who are serving them. Joining Nicola is Dr Marguerite Schinkel, a senior lecturer in Criminology at the University of Glasgow, who talks about her involvement in a social media campaign #NOLR, and why she thinks it’s time to end these kinds of sentences and focus on treatment rather than punishment. If you want to find out more about the #NOLR campaign visit their website <a href= "https://nolr.org/">https://nolr.org/</a> <a href= "https://communityjustice.scot/community-justice/scotland-justice-system/process/sjs-138-order-for-lifelong-restriction-olr/"> Community Justice Scotland</a> also has a useful page on the OLR and where it fits in the Scottish criminal justice process.

The Barlinnie Special Unit: Art, Punishment and Innovation

In this episode our host Rachelle Cobain talks to Dr Kirstin Anderson about a new book she’s edited called 'The Barlinnie Special Unit: Art, Punishment and Innovation'. Kirstin is a Lecturer in Criminology at Edinburgh Napier University and has spent a large part of her career teaching music in schools, universities and in prisons. She’s now turned her attention to the history and legacy of the Barlinnie Special Unit, which was a small therapeutic unit that opened in 1973 as a way of managing long term prisoners and violent offenders. Dubbed the world’s most ambitious penal experiment, it was loved and loathed in equal measure during its almost 22 years of life, until its eventual closure in the 1990s. We talk about the stellar cast of contributors to the book including former inmates Jimmy Boyle and Johnny Steele, prison officer David Croft, as well as the therapists and artists that helped shape the unit such as Sarah Trevelyan and Richard Demarco. And we talk about the unit’s controversies, why it closed and what legacy it leaves behind. Kirstin’s book is available to buy now in bookshops and online <a href= "https://www.watersidepress.co.uk/books/barlinnie-special-unit-anderson-9781914603464/"> The Barlinnie Special Unit - Waterside Press</a> Kirstin’s recommendations: The Special Unit Barlinnie Prison: Its Evolution Trough Its Art, Glasgow: Third Eye Centre (1982) by Christopher Carrell and Joyce Laing (eds.)

Young Thug: Art as Evidence in the War on Gangs

Grammy-award winning rapper Young Thug is currently at the centre of one of the longest criminal trials in Georgia state history. He’s been charged alongside more than two dozen other people under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO. Prosecutors are using his rap lyrics as evidence he and a gang called YSL are involved in serious criminal activity, but his defence attorneys say Thug is entirely innocent and that he’s not running a gang, he’s running a record label. Dr Gemma Flynn unpacks this extraordinary case in her latest zine called, ‘Slime: The State of Georgia v. Young Thug, The art of evidence in the war on gangs’. In this episode of Just Humans we discuss Young Thug’s career, the trial, the lack of mainstream media attention it's received, race and politics and what impact this could all have on how rappers write lyrics.
