UK Parliament fortnightly podcast series on human rights and justice

The UK Parliament released the latest episode of its fortnight Committee Corridor podcast on 16 March, which focuses on whether the criminal justice system in England and Wales is in crisis. The lively discussion is hosted by the Chair of the Joint Committee on Human Rights, Joanna Cherry KC, who is joined by justice correspondent, Joshua Rozenberg; Chair of the Home Affairs Committee Dame Diana Johnson; and Chair of the Justice Committee, Sir Bob Neill. The speakers share their views on the current state of the criminal justice system, the possible reasons for the issues identified, and the wider impact of the failings.
