REFORM is proud to have been part of Pennsylvania’s 2026 Criminal Justice Advisory Board (CJAB) Conference in State College last month! 🙌
The conference was an opportunity for us to connect with criminal justice, behavioral health, and treatment partners to share the positive impact Act 44 is having on the Commonwealth’s probation system and the importance of connecting people on supervision to education, training, and employment.
Grateful for the conversations, the collaboration, and the opportunity to contribute to reform in Pennsylvania.

Georgia's DOC spends 60 cents per meal. Behind bars, people recount seeing rats in the kitchen, bugs in food, and trays covered with mold.
Keep in mind, the Peach State has one of the largest carceral systems in the world. This is a public health crisis.

Communication is a lifeline, not a luxury. Millions of people behind bars and their families know this, but a new report by our partners at @WorthRises makes the case shockingly clear. Families should not be charged to keep in touch with their loved ones. ⬇️
Between 2025 and 2026, the number of people detained by ICE on any given day grew by nearly 60%.
Thanks to Trump's deportation agenda, expanded immigration detention accounts for almost all of the growth in mass incarceration since last year.
Meanwhile, there are policies on the books that actively use hunger as a form of punishment, barring some people on probation from receiving SNAP benefits:

Good news?
Hunger is a crisis in the U.S., and it can't be separated from the criminalization and incarceration of vulnerable populations.
Kicking people off SNAP—especially as the cost of living skyrockets—is anything but good news.🧵
"So many of these mothers have spent years away from their children and families, missing birthdays, holidays, and everyday moments most of us take for granted," she continued. "I’m honored to partner with REFORM and LOHM to help reconnect these families so they can hold their children, laugh together, and simply be a family again.” @KimKardashian

Every single U.S. state incarcerates women at a higher rate than most of our closest international allies.
This Mother's Day and beyond, we're thinking of all the women and their children who are affected by mass incarceration.
This Mother’s Day, nearly 150,000 mothers will spend the day apart from their children.
58% of all women in U.S. prisons are mothers. 80% of women in jails, including many who are incarcerated awaiting trial simply bc they can’t afford bail. Read: https://t.co/M4UtfrfIK5
80% of women in jails are mothers, and most of them are primary caretakers of their children.
Mass incarceration has a ripple effect, causing trauma that can last generations within a single family.
