Abstract

The Johnson government’s inconsistent ‘suppression’ pandemic management policy for England, in comparison with other similar countries, probably failed to minimise COVID-19-related fatalities and maximise speedy economic recovery and failed to garner consistent public trust.
Government management of the pandemic in the penal system, based on de facto ‘closure’, probably minimised COVID-19 fatalities amongst prison and probation users.
But the closure policy contributed to the penal crisis by exacerbating resource scarcity, undermined procedural justice by imposing a unilateral policy which resulted in the prolonged very harsh treatment of offenders, added to the fixation with the prison, demonstrated lack of accountability by being unresponsive to even well-founded criticism (especially over court delays and the prolonged solitary confinement of prisoners) and overall detracted from justice.
