Can we now return to Biden's promise to end mass incarceration?

The federal prison population is at its highest level during the Biden presidency, continuing to undo seven years of decarceration that preceded him.

Third death I'm tweeting about today. This stuff is working on my psyche

In the midst of a historic, statewide prison strike in #Alabama, we spoke with prisoner leader Kinetik Justice from a solitary confinement cell where he was transferred to yesterday for his #prisonstrike organizing. Here's a clip from our interview. Stay tuned for more.

Protestors are assembled in front of @ALCorrections this morning and are listing demands such as more oversight of the parole board, reinstating “good time”, and improved treatment, programming, and conditions.

[Down with US Empire... Yankee Go Home @jaybeware]

There's a massive prison strike underway in Alabama today, perhaps system wide, but at very least across a number of facilities. Prisoners not doing trash collection, refusing kitchen work and more.

Alabama's parole board shot down every single case yesterday, denying relief to all 28 eligible people including this man, after he's served 12 of a 20-year sentence for MARIJUANA possession & distribution. He's at a minimum security work center where they work him for $2 a day.

Toforest Johnson is almost certainly innocent. This is not new information. Alabama officials have known for years. They seem fine leaving him on death row. https://t.co/T4xhvpqKhK

[Beth Shelburne @bshelburne]

THREAD: Observed Alabama parole hearings yesterday. This board has paroled very few people w violent convictions & very few people serving life WITH possible parole. A rep from @AGSteveMarshall's office stands up & opposes parole in all of these cases. Why is this important? 1/8

Dozens of people have been released from the Etowah ICE detention center in Nov/Dec and funds are running low for @EtowahFreedom, which does vital work helping people get home to their families! If you can, consider donating a few dollars to help.

@ALCorrections We'd be thankful if y'all bothered to call the families of our loved ones you killed.

@GovernorKayIvey & @ALCorrections prison slavery are responsible for incalculable loss & human suffering. They have normalized a level brutality beyond comprehension.

We'd love to see more indepth reporting on this issue.

A new Department of Justice complaint says Alabama has not improved prison conditions since the DOJ's 2019 allegations. https://t.co/ddNChZcdLR

@ALCorrections is fundamentally unconstitutional, their guards regularly stab & murder our loved ones. The @DOJPH should have intervened years ago. https://t.co/gwV4DWQ4wI

Sadistic politicians are drooling over another private expansion to their slave plantations. @ABPPalabamagov refuses to release anyone from the hell they maintain-- it's public knowledge @ALCorrections has maintained unconstitutional conditions for decades. #EndPrisonSlavery
