So, what is obstruction? And what does such a nebulous term have to do with a current case in front of SCOTUS? And how does it mask bad police work? @GalvinAlmanza is here to explain it all with this week's video.

We've got your weekly dose of information from @GalvinAlmanza about the criminal legal system that makes you go, 'What?!' This week, we're talking about the link between healthcare and crime. Imagine this: expanded access to healthcare = substantial drops in crime.
I think it's just phenomenal that @Uber has stepped up and been helping us make sure public defender clients around the US can make it to court, programs, urgent appointments, and more. Good reading: partnersforjustice.org/blog-stories/t…
Hi friends! I've heard from some folks that they would appreciate a place where they can find all our Weekly Videos, and where they can share with friends who aren't on whatever social media. Your wish is my command: youtube.com/@PFJ_USA
Annnnd we're back! This week, we're talking about how the "death qualification" of juries makes them more likely to convict ... even wrongfully. Yup, that's right.
This week, @GalvinAlmanza is taking a well-deserved vacation, so no video. BUT if you want to learn more about the injustices our criminal legal system perpetuates daily, you can check out the library of videos on our site. We'll be back next week! partnersforjustice.org/stories-videos
This Public Defender Day, we're excited to share some new impact stats, and — spoiler alert — collaborative defense achieves jaw-dropping results. A more powerful, collaborative public defense system is our future, and at PFJ, we're excited to work at the forefront of change.
We just learned that @PFJ_USA Advocates in Delaware County PA nearly doubled how many people were able to complete court-ordered treatment. Wondering why and how? Read this. partnersforjustice.org/blog-stories/p…
We are so excited to see the Collaborative Defense Movement spreading to North Carolina! Huge congratulations to Beth Stang and her team for bringing in their first Client Advocate! ncids.org/2024/defender-…

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 :-)
It’s weekly video time! And SCOTUS is thinking about whether an obstruction statute is too vague! So we thought we’d talk about a related issue: how vague state obstruction laws can actually contribute to covering up police misconduct.
@Bryanwidenhouse i’m a HUGE @GalvinAlmanza and @PFJ_USA fan! 🤩🤩🤩
These videos are so great, they truly open your eyes.
So apparently tomorrow is National Pets Day, and that means that your weekly video has to be about how bad it is when we leave probable cause determinations in the hands (paws?) of dogs.

Hi friends! I've heard from some folks that they would appreciate a place where they can find all our Weekly Videos, and where they can share with friends who aren't on whatever social media. Your wish is my command: youtube.com/@PFJ_USA
THE WEEKLY VIDEO IS BACK! After a brief hiatus, we're here again and this week we're talking about how "death qualification" of juries makes them more likely to convict...even wrongfully.
It’s your weekly video! This week: most states have laws that allow them to try to jail parents for their children’s absences from school.

Hey hey the @PFJ_USA weekly video is out and you don't want to miss this one. Here's the deal: the fastest growing demographic in US prisons is also the group of people who are (1) most expensive to incarcerate and (2) least likely to commit crimes.
Today, I'm sharing another amazing conversation with @PFJ_USA. This time, I spoke to Rebecca Solow and Vichal Kumar to talk about their Public Defender capacity building projects in Modesto, Missouri, Kansas, and Cook County. open.spotify.com/episode/17VmBN… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/181…
So thrilled to hear the amazing Rebecca Solow and Vichal Kumar on @PDefenselessPod!!! For the last year, these two have been crisscrossing the USA, helping defenders from Modesto to Chicago build out a collaborative defense practice...don't miss it! open.spotify.com/episode/17VmBN…
Thanks @minnaharshad for covering the story in a way that doesn't just hit upon present misconduct, but also gives the larger context for why our addiction to jails is harming public safety. usatoday.com/story/news/nat…
It's the weekly video from @PFJ_USA! This week: in our federal system, judges can sentence people based on things a jury said they were *not guilty* of. Think that's fucked up? You'd be right. Thanks to @alison_guernsey for pointing out that we should cover this awful topic!
