Very frustrating that, in a sentencing guideline that features 11 sections, Jenrick’s baseless intervention on *1* of them has dominated all public perception.

This guideline explicitly, and for the first time, directed courts to avoid imprisoning pregnant women & mothers due to the risks.

Excellent in Race & Class - Rachel Rosen & S. Khan set out "not only to make an intellectual intervention by demonstrating how age is made, racialised and weaponised in the service of a violent border regime" but also call for the abolition of age assessment.
Absolutely agree
Read Rachel Rosen and S.Khan’s seminal article on ‘Racialising age in the UK’s border regime’ in the latest issue of Race & Class (the IRR's journal), which explores how age is used as a technology of migration control. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

We continue to advocate for the release of those imprisoned and for the end of the criminalisation of movement

Ibrahima, for example, was sentenced this February to 9.5 years imprisonment after the dinghy he was steering broke apart.

Ibrahima Bah was sentenced to nine years for steering a ‘death trap’ dinghy across the Channel. Was he really to blame?
The young asylum seeker was forced into piloting the boat on which at least four people drowned. Under new ‘stop the boats’ laws, he’s responsible for their deaths – but others say he’s a victim
