"An out-of-state abortion is just not going to be available to them" We spoke with @nowthisimpact about the intersectionality between reproductive justice and criminal legal reform. Watch now: youtube.com/watch?feature=…
Nearly 1 million people in the US experience the threat or use of force by police annually – and they are disproportionately Black & Latinx This troubling racial disparity has a consequence: white people are more likely to seek help from police than people of color
Unfortunately, the forces that seek to entrench and expand mass incarceration remain active across the country. Check out this guide to learn more about fighting the return of failed criminal legal system policies 👇 prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/01/2…
These policies — zombie laws — contradict the facts: crime across the nation remains at record low levels, including a likely dramatic decrease in violent crime in 2023.
The politics we have seen surrounding crime and punishment are eerily reminiscent of 1990s “tough on crime” rhetoric. In Florida, Gov. DeSantis suggested that his political opponents are “pro-crime,” while Dems attacked parole & bail reform in the 2022 mid-term.
"That gap between reality and public perception is proving to have serious consequences” “So long as people continue to feel that crime is a problem ... lawmakers feel pressured to respond to a problem that, by and large, appears to be subsiding" (@vox) vox.com/policy/2413955…
Right now, nearly half a million people in this country are locked up in jail pretrial.
Our fight to end mass incarceration and protect those who are impacted by it has taken huge leaps forward in the first few months of 2024. We’ve had major developments in one of our central lanes of work: eliminating solitary confinement.
The Dept. of Correction's 2024 budget is over $800 million, but @wbz's Investigative Team found that less than 2% is earmarked for educational opportunities and reentry programs. Incarcerated people are now suing the DOC due to the lack of programming. cbsnews.com/boston/news/i-…
🧵The so-called "#WarOnDrugs," aka a war on people — mainly Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) folks — leads to far too many people being forced to suffer behind bars in a multitude of ways. Financial exploitation is one of them. bit.ly/PrisonPriceGou…
"It's not fair that we have a system that relies on you having enough money to pay your way into freedom" The US relies on pretrial detention, and too many people are locked up simply because they can't afford money bail. It's time to finally eliminate the use of money bail.

"17% of Virginia’s incarcerated population — myself included — is serving a “virtual life” sentence (50 years or longer), meaning that even many people who weren’t sentenced to life in prison will, in reality, be in prison for most of their lives" mainlinezine.com/life-without-p…
Governments: "We want millions of dollars to build a new jail" Us, knowing taxpayers across the country don't support the move: "Look between T and U on your keyboard" 🤔

Hundreds of advocates from around the country lie down with blankets in front of #SCOTUS. If they were in Grant’s Pass, they would give you a $295 ticket for sleeping with a blanket. #housingnothandcuffs #johnsonvgrantspass
Housing, not criminal penalties, solves homelessness.
Today, #SCOTUS will hear a case that could severely criminalize homelessness. Formerly incarcerated people are almost 10 times more likely to be homeless than the general public – and this ruling could devastate an already vulnerable population. 🧵
Stop the revolving door! @Scotus @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris @USDOJ
People experiencing cycles of incarceration and release are also more likely to be homeless. And, being homeless makes formerly incarcerated people more likely to be arrested and incarcerated again, thanks to policies that criminalize homelessness. It’s a revolving door.
“Prison gerrymandering is a problem created because the Census Bureau counts incarcerated people in the wrong place. It counts them as residents of a prison cell, rather than their home communities." —@PrisonPolicy Communications Director Mike Wessler truthout.org/articles/gerry…
I now go back to the district court and because of this, I’m limited in what I can say. But the right to protest was not abolished in the 5th Circuit. The right to protest remains. Sotomayor’s note is important. When this case is finally over, I’ll be able to say more.

@PrisonPolicy @akela_lacy The local county jail (Bradley, TN) has announced in the past two weeks that: - inmate mail will now be scanned and available on rented tablets, then deleted after 30 days. Nothing can be printed, including photos. (Excludes legal docs) - physical books: now rented tablets. #FTP
