Exciting news! Our first incarcerated lead organizer for Look2Justice, Anthony Covert, is coming home through clemency! Please consider donating to his GoFundMe. He's trying to raise $4k to help ease his transition home.

@ChrisWBlackwell Thank you yes my brother is there and it only been given two cups of water today and been offered the restroom once. Over five inmates affected with no water for a week and their toilets filled with a week's worth of feces. It is a damn shame.

@Dan_Landsman It's true! We do love @Dan_Landsman !

So to see my husband I have to be groped and my husband has to be stripped searched--full strip search as in bend over, spread them, cough. Every. Single. Time. Funny how even when visits were closed for 2+ years contraband came in... But it's the families that must be debased.

[Dr. Chelsea Moore @ChelseaLynMoore]

There's now body scanners for visits to prisons. Fine. But the scanners never work. So instead of a metal detector the new protocol is for a guard to basically grope visitors. Not regular pat downs but invasive groping when the scanner doesn't work.

Got to see my byline in the Sunday edition of the New York Times. It’s wild to think I was incarcerated for the first time at 12 and dropped out of school at 14.

"Preserving racism from the past for now" is the perfect summary of non-retroactive sentencing reform @TheStranger. Looking out at the prison day room I see at least 3 people doing decades more for sentencing that longer exists. How is that justice?

Indigenous youth are 3x more likely than white youth to enter prison through referral into the juvenile justice system than to have criminal charges dropped, reports @LunaBReyna:

Suddenly it's' $4.41 in fees to buy $10 worth of email stamps. Prison emails require you to purchase a $.24 stamp per email with extra stamps if the email is long or has pictures. So that's $14.41 in total to buy 60 stamps. Almost an hour of prison labor to send one email.

A bill passed in Washington at the height of the "superpredator" era ensures young adults receive longer sentences due to their prior involvement in the juvenile system. @ChelseaLynMoore & @ChrisWBlackwell cover legislation that would change the practice. https://t.co/kNWjWTf0WZ

@glennEmartin Yikes!! So glad he's okay!

[Dr. Chelsea Moore @ChelseaLynMoore]

@glennEmartin Happy birthday!! Really glad you were born!

[Dr. Chelsea Moore @ChelseaLynMoore]

So grateful to work with the amazing @ArdellasHouse on this bill!

Big unanimous win in PA today! Far too many pregnant women are subjected to harsh conditions while incarcerated. These include placement in solitary confinement, being subjected to the use of restraints during pregnancy, and limited access to visits with their children. 🧵 1/6

The state told them they could vote.
Then arrested them for it.
You can help.

Incarcerated for the first time at 12. Dropped out of school at 14. Today I have a byline in the @nytimes.

I am SO proud of my husband
@ChrisWBlackwell for his first byeline in the NEW YORK TIMES! This beautifully written piece on books, personal growth, and prison censorship is vulnerable and insightful. You did it, babe!!!

[New York Times Opinion @nytopinion]

“Practically every author I have encountered while in prison,” writes @ChrisWBlackwell, “has played a role in my efforts to grow and become a better person — someone who can live in society by adding to it, as opposed to taking from it.” https://t.co/g0rMjTomuE

[Dr. Chelsea Moore @ChelseaLynMoore]

So proud of my husband!

[ChristopherBlackwell @ChrisWBlackwell]

Excited to announce I was invited to become a contributing writer at @JewishCurrents , a publication that has supported me since I started this journey. I'm honored to continue working with such an incredible group of people! Thank you for all your support.

[Dr. Chelsea Moore @ChelseaLynMoore]

@paigen_cole Same. At my husband's last prison the visiting check in guard was also really into measuring everything with a ruler. She would make you raise your hands in the air and then measure the length from your dress hem to your knee.
