This legislation introduced in Virginia would end most uses of solitary in prisons and juvenile detention facilities. Follow the link below to make your opinion known to state lawmakers. @ACLUVA @IAHR_DC

🗣️Our youth does NOT belong in prisons.

It's time VA lawmakers treated Black & brown children as kids with hopes, dreams, and potential in need of support and services, instead of funneling them into the juvenile justice system. @RISEforYouth https://t.co/b5TvNQnfPS

Solitary confinement:

🔵 is a widespread practice in VA's prisons
🔵 is imposed by correctional officers
🔵 causes mental & physical harm
🔵 does nothing to keep people safe
🔵 creates new public safety threats

Tell your lawmakers to #StopSolitary now: https://t.co/Q2NhaUKHve

https://t.co/Ia2W3Mgn6w In lawsuit ending indefinite solitary confinement in CA prisons: Court finds CDCR uses unreliable & even fabricated confidential info to put prisoners in solitary & uses constitutionally-flawed gang validations to deny people fair opportunity for parole.

PRISONERS ENDANGERED https://t.co/smalgS9JKx CDCr policies have set prisoners against each other along racial lines and exacerbated gang problem by incentivizing snitching. CA prisoners’ mass movement is based on an Agreement to End Hostilities. Now more CDCr-induced violence...
