@cbsufrin His “gotcha” moment failed miserably. He looked like a flailing old coot. As the rest of us were trying to catch our breath from the powerful testimony, he was engaged in exactly the kind of degrading behavior we were being asked (rightfully) to examine. Thank you for standing up

[Amy Ard @ArdinAtlanta]

@hannahcrileyy @jduffyrice @CivRightsCorps Definitely will be. Let’s catch up about our work in jails

[Amy Ard @ArdinAtlanta]

@hannahcrileyy @jduffyrice @CivRightsCorps Just got news that visitation is starting again at Fulton County maybe as soon as next month.

Cruelty is the point. This is the exact opposite of what we should be doing when people in prison want/need to write.

[ChristopherBlackwell @ChrisWBlackwell]

I’m an incarcerated journalist. Today Securus, a predatory prison communication co, silenced journalists. With no warning they deleted all drafts of writing. Years of work. Manuscripts. Articles. Everything gone. We’re no longer able to save drafts. Now near impossible to write.

A young couple looked forward to becoming first-time parents to the baby boy they had already named Treveon Isaiah Taylor, Jr. Now, a Clayton County complaint alleges medical negligence and cover-up on part of Southern Regional Medical Center and others.

@hannahcrileyy Some people are truly the very worst. I’m so sorry you have to deal with this.

99,000 women are locked in state prisons on any given day. 58% are mothers of minor children. How many could states release today?

[Jimmy Jenkins @JimmyJenkins]

EXCLUSIVE: Arizona is inducing the labor of pregnant prisoners against their will — sometimes as early as three weeks before their due date. Health care experts call the policy unethical. Reproductive justice advocates say it's a human rights violation. https://t.co/x4qGhobO5g

This week: 90 “pro-life” Republicans voted to keep allowing incarcerated people who are eight months pregnant to be caged in solitary confinement. Rejected medical & mental health services. Evaluation.

This common sense legislation still passed the House.https://t.co/upc8VoxZNj

[Amy Ard @ArdinAtlanta]

@prisonculture Every single kind word is deserved. So grateful for you.

[Amy Ard @ArdinAtlanta]

@hannahcrileyy Finally, a platform I understand. I will literally rule that space.

[Amy Ard @ArdinAtlanta]

I’m wondering whether Ralph Reed feels okay about selling his soul to Hershel Walker. What a loser. #gapol

[Amy Ard @ArdinAtlanta]

@prisonculture Absolutely not true. Fired up here. Hershel can’t represent us.
