A jury has awarded $16 million to a Philadelphia man whose murder conviction was overturned after he spent 25 years on death row and in solitary confinement. It is the largest wrongful conviction payout in city history. inquirer.com/crime/jimmy-de…
This is an amazing article about the injustice of the Alabama prison system abusing citizens (including one that was acquitted) for slave labor & is definitely worth a read. This is a bigger issue than just Alabama, as America has 25% of the worlds incarcerated population.
Former Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler took $281,688 from the insurance industry when she was in Congress, and is now a health insurance lobbyist. @thehill left that part out. Medicare Advantage is a cut to Medicare. And this piece isn’t an op-ed, it’s lobbyist propaganda.

Also I don't understand why the prize money for writers outside of prison can be as high as $75,000 but the prize money for writers inside of prison is $250. prismreports.org/2024/04/17/pen…

BREAKING! NYC DOC has been sued over its massive call surveillance program. The suit demands the city cancel its contract with predatory prison telecom Securus. They cannot be trusted to protect our constitutional rights and the privacy of NYers. nydailynews.com/2024/04/16/mil…
'Stategraft refers to the practice by which “state agents transfer property from persons to the state in violation of the state’s own laws or basic human rights.” ...there are few populations more vulnerable to financial extraction than incarcerated individuals.'

After the Civil War, white supremacists used felony disenfranchisement to suppress the Black vote and cemented it in Mississippi's 1890 constitution This week, a bill that would reinstate voting rights for thousands convicted of nonviolent offenses died themarshallproject.org/2024/04/04/mis…
If NYPD is openly harassing a media professional and attorney simply because I outperformed the mayor in an interview, one can only imagine how they treat everyday citizens who critique them. It’s no wonder we paid $121 million on police misconduct settlements last year.
1/3 What started as a phone call from an incarcerated person saying he had been in the dark in solitary for two weeks grew into story about subterfuge by command staff and potential outright violations of civil rights. pennlive.com/news/2024/03/d…
Experts say the "pay-to-stay" practice is unfair because as a civil process, defendants don't get a lawyer. Wallace said his money is frozen, which “takes all your options away to try to fight it." It can also hurt someone's chances at successful reentry. kansascity.com/news/state/mis…

The use of convict labor in Alabama mines was in response by the owners to earlier organizing by miners for labor unions and strikes for higher wages & better working conditions. Those safer working conditions might have prevented the Banner explosion & other mine disasters.
