'Income inequality in the UK is higher than in any other European country' - @NewStatesman. But what does this mean? In their new book, THE INNER LEVEL, @ProfKEPickett and @ProfRGWilkinson examine how inequality affects how we think, feel and behave. bit.ly/2lUm40v

The sentence too harsh. Judge regrets it. If any of you have not seen @TheDivideFilm there is a heartbreaking tale of incarceration in US xitter.gq/aclu/status/9635219147…

In 1997, as Evelyn Baker sentenced 16-year-old Bobby Bostic to life in prison, she told him: "You will die in the Department of Corrections." Now she's urging the Supreme Court to reverse her decision. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
Opinion | I sentenced a teen to die in prison. I regret it.

I hope the Supreme Court steps in to reverse my decision.
