Joanna Bale talks to LSE’s Connson Locke, Grace Lordan and Carsten Sorensen, as well as Hailley Griffis, a social media management company executive, who believes that offices will soon become extinct.

It is with alarming regularity that reports of prison violence, overcrowding and concerns over the impact of funding cuts are hitting the headlines. With 46% of all prisoners reoffending within a year of release last year, the system could be considered not just expensive and unpleasant, but failing. In this episode, Jess Winterstein takes a look at the prison system in England and Wales and asks, is our prison system broken?   

This episode features: Dr Simon Bastow, LSE Fellow, Department of Management; Professor Nicola Lacey, School Professor of Law, Gender and Social Policy at LSE; and Dr Sharon Shalev, a fellow of the Mannheim Centre for the Study of Criminology and Criminal Science at LSE and founder of SolitaryConfinement.org

Capitalism: can it ever be moral? [Audio]

سَلَبَتْ لَيْلَىٰ
مِنِّيَ العَقْلَ
قُلْتُ يا لَيْلَىٰ
إرْحَمِي القَتْلَىٰ

حُبُهَا مَكْنُونْ
في الحَشَا مَخْزونْ
أيُّهَا المَفْتُونْ
قِم بِنا ذُلا

إنّنِي هَائِم
و لَها خَادِم
أيُّها اللائِم
خَلِّنِي مَهْلا

لَزِمْتُ الأعْتَابْ
و طَرَقْتُ البَابْ
قُلتُ للبَوابْ
هَل تَرَىٰ وصلا ؟

قَالَ لي يا صَاحْ
مَهْرُهَا الأرْوَاحْ
كَمْ مُحِبٍ راحْ
يَعْشَقِ القَتْلىٰ

أيُّها العاشِقْ
إنْ تَكُنْ صادِقْ
للسِوىٰ فارِقْ
تَغْتَنِمْ وَصْل

سَلبت لـَيلى مِني العقلَ - فِرقة ابن عَربي
