Most commissary spending is on food, because prison meals are small and notoriously unhealthy.

Lots of this $ comes from the *families* of incarcerated people. We're forcing them to subsidize the prison system.

[Prison Journalism Project @prisonjourn]

🗞️ Outside/In is a monthly column by Claire Tak about what it’s like to have a loved one in prison from a sister’s unique perspective.

From sending commissary money to visiting prison for the first time, Claire shares tips, advice and of course, stories.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

Please take a moment this week to think about how the U.S. puts Black people in cages 6 times the rate of South Africa in Apartheid. Each year in a cell takes 2 years off life expectancy. Think about how these horrors are normalized and justified by the news we consume.

Daily reminder that CA’s prison population was reduced by 70,000 people over the past decade, yet prison spending has increased by nearly 40% over the same time span.

Pass it on.

I don’t know who or what a “criminal” is. I’m not trying to be facetious, but how can we understand or define that concept outside of racist dog whistles or political narratives?
