Solitary confinement is torture.
@njpjw’s latest report captures first-hand accounts from survivors of prolonged isolation and asserts that inadequate progress has been made over the last five years to implement the reforms of the Isolated Confinement Restriction Act (ICRA).
A NJ law requires those incarcerated in state prisons to be allowed outside their cells for at least four hours a day. However, a new report says nothing close to that happens, and advocates say the state is subjecting prisoners to "inhumane conditions." https://t.co/itDTaMFi8q

5 years after the Isolated Confinement Restriction Act was passed, the tortures of prolonged isolation continue.

Overturning Roe v. Wade stripped millions of people of their fundamental right to bodily autonomy.
Though abortion remains legal here in NJ, reproductive care remains out of reach for far too many.

AMAZING time yesterday at the @2ndlooknj conference!
so great to meet nj assemblywoman, rep. @jramirezesq, who is cosponsoring a4463 alongside assemblywoman rep. @ASWReyJackson - thank you for leading on this second look legislation!
Today I spoke at the Second Look NJ Conference with John Butler and Dan Sperrazza, moderated by @ShawnWeneta. We discussed A4463, a bill offering long-term incarcerated individuals a chance to review their sentences. Proud to be part of the conversation to reimagine justice.
What year is it?? History is repeating itself. Remember "Superpredator"? This is looking a lot like that. And it's scary because these narratives have very real and devastating consquences.
Pay attention to Trenton and "juvenile justice" policies that are sure to follow.
Join @2ndlooknj on June 3 for a full day of panels, presentations, and workshops educating on and advocating for Second Chance criminal justice policy in New Jersey. #NJOPD#SecondChance#SecondLook

Last week, #NJOPD held its Administration of the Oath of Office for Public Defender @j_sellitti. Join us in congratulating her, and watch some highlights from this event below:
Using public records laws, I've collected prison commissary lists from almost every state in the country. These lists reveal an exploitative, unregulated system that preys on incarcerated consumers. New from me + @EthanSCorey for @theappeal. https://t.co/tW8Bg7nChn
Important piece underscoring the importance of prison oversight and accountability in NJ, especially with regard to medical services.
