MPs seeking meeting with Julian Assange told to try Purple Visits – insidetime & insideinformation

A cross-party group of MPs who requested a video meeting with remand prisoner Julian Assange has received a dismissive response from Justice Secretary Robert Buckland QC.
Assange, the WikiLeaks co-founder who spent seven years as a fugitive in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, is being held at Belmarsh whilst the United States seeks his extradition on charges of espionage and hacking.
MP Richard Burgon wrote to Buckland on behalf of 16 MPs who wanted to meet the detainee. His letter, sent on December 16, explained that the group hoped to arrange the meeting before a court hearing on January 4.
Buckland did not reply until January 25. He opened his letter by apologising for the delay, without offering an explanation. He said he could not comment on individual prisoners, and decisions on visits had to be made by prison governors.

Families of Manchester prisoners say they have been forgotten in the pandemic.
In prisons, inmates have been consigned to their cells for up to 23 hours a day to try and prevent the spread of the virus.
In-person visits were cancelled in March, then briefly allowed in the summer, before being stopped again in the autumn, preventing children from being to able to see their parents face to face for months on end.

Covid: Prisoner self-harm rising amid tighter restrictions

Covid: Prisoner self-harm rising amid tighter restrictions
By Jenny Rees
Published
Self-harm and violence have risen in Welsh prisons as tighter restrictions continue, according to prison monitors.
The Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) Welsh representative said prisons had until recently been successful in keeping Covid-19 rates low, but the "consequences have been enormous".
Steven Cocks said the IMB, which monitors conditions in prisons, had massive concerns about this continuing.
The Prison Service said efforts were being made to support prisoners.
Figures analysed by criminologist Dr Robert Jones, from the University of South Wales, suggest self-harm in Welsh prisons rose by 14% from January to June this year, compared with the same period last year, although the levels fell in the Cardiff and Swansea institutions.
