Research has shown that off-ramps from the criminal legal system promote better outcomes for individuals & communities. In @ALReflector, experts including @miriamkrinsky & @theblairlair discuss the numerous benefits of investing in these alternatives. alabamareflector.com/2024/03/28/div…
It's your weekly video! There are about 80 million benefits to making sure that former incarceration isn't a barrier to future success. Everyone deserves a fair chance, and watch below for a barrage of stats to that effect :-)
Former House Speaker @newtgingrich recently asked ROC’s @tolmanbrett “How do we take somebody who has broken the law, hold them accountable while helping them change their life, and help them prepare to live once they leave prison- so they don’t go back?” On the #NewtsWorld…

This week I had the opportunity to visit SCI Chester, a state prison outside Philly, to see one of the most interesting experiments in incarceration. Given that 95% of inmates will eventually be released, it's imperative that time spent in prison is rehabilitative and promotes…
Whatever your views on optimal sentence lengths, truth-in-sentencing policies that remove the possibility of parole are extremely costly. The incentive to invest in rehabilitation and practice good behavior—which the possibility of parole provides—is very helpful. /1
For too long lawmakers have ignored serious problems in our prison systems. It's time to pass #prisonoversight. You can ask your lawmaker to support prison oversight at @FAMM. secure.everyaction.com/inDwsvz84EGS36… washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
Happening now. @celeste_trusty, @RepHarris, and @RepDarisha speaking about transforming and moving justice forward in Pennsylvania. @FAMMFoundation
With @celeste_trusty at the #transformingjustice conference. Looking forward to hearing her speak on the panel about moving forward in PA.
NEW: The Appeal has published the first national database of prison commissary prices. The project covers 46 states, revealing an exploitative system that forces incarcerated people to pay up to 5x the outside price for some items. theappeal.org/locked-in-pric…
The success of Little Scandinavia shows that focusing on rehabilitation over punishment benefits society by reducing repeat offenses. Expanding this model will make our communities safer and more just. #RehabNotRuin penncapital-star.com/commentary/a-p…
This is so true. We have a harsh criminal justice system, but what we really need is a criminal prevention system. They are not the same.

Through his forgiveness of and bond with the 14-year-old who killed his son, Azim has dedicated his life to promoting community healing to prevent the tragedies his family experienced. "The mission is to save kids’ lives.” A must-read in @people: people.com/dad-forms-bond…

Closing a prison marred by scandals of sex abuse does not solve what led to this problem in the first instance. Neither does transferring women to other facilities (sex abuse happened in 2/3 prisons housing women) Independent oversight is the only cure. ktvu.com/news/fci-dubli…
This is much more common than people realize and I love seeing folks speak out about it. Half of Americans have experienced incarcerated in their family. teenvogue.com/story/family-i…
Today, two of our NLC members and our project manager presented on panels about family reunification and post-conviction, sharing their experiences and helping provide solutions on these topics with prosecutors. Thank you @fjp_org for this opportunity.
Such an honor to be a part of this panel and share the system impacted perspective.
