I have a client who has heart failure. I’ve called many “criminal justice” nonprofits to help with her legal fees. No one has helped. For BHM, they’ll be hosting panel discussions about mass incarceration. The nonprofit industrial complex is such a scam.

@WarrenDavidson I know a few folks who didn’t get to keep their earnings or attend those schools and colleges. But… meh…I suppose it’s a matter of perspective.

1/3 It’s with good reason that criminal justice reform is a key area of focus for the SALA Series platform and community: over the last five decades, our incarcerated population has increased by 500% –

COVID-19 means every one of my clients in federal prison is now serving a possible death sentence. That is why we’ve been fighting so hard to get people safely to freedom.

Derrick's moving fwd, but still thinking about everyone he left behind –– & now joins the #ComingHomeCampaign to show others what's possible. We still picking locks to human cages. Welcome home, Derrick! 🖤

Much love to @PUSHA_T for standing w us & investing in saving lives ✊🏾✊🏿

[MiAngel Cody @DecarcerateNow]

It's #FreedomDripFriday & y'all know what that means: We out here LIVING for Derrick Walker's THRIVING energy. Derrick was arrested at 24 & sentenced to life w/o parole for a fistful of crack. He survived 13 years in federal prison & we recently walked him off that life sentence.

[MiAngel Cody @DecarcerateNow]

SUPER DOPE!!! All the pun intended.

“In conjunction with the release of “Coming Home,” Pusha T has partnered with Brittany K. Barnett’s Buried Alive Project and MiAngel Cody’s The Decarceration Collective to launch… https://t.co/8zXRVX7a6Y

In almost every story we hear & share, there's a theme: I was just trying to provide for my family. Brian's no different. Desperation to lift up his loved ones brought him down – & all of them down w him.

LISTEN to Brian tell his story in his own words: https://t.co/caWKyo1gSX

[MiAngel Cody @DecarcerateNow]

🔊SOUND ON 🔊Nothing's free when you're locked up––except for suffering. Even calls home cost $5 per 15-min convo.

For Brian Brim, everything he does is tethered to maintaining his sanity. He's serving LIFE under America's #ThirdStrike Drug Law; there's no external incentive.

[MiAngel Cody @DecarcerateNow]

America’s 3 Strikes Drug Law made it shockingly easy to get a LIFE sentence. Smoking a joint at a party is Strike 1. Having a razor blade with cocaine residue is Strike 2. Selling a $10 crack rock as a teenager is Strike 3 = LIFE without parole!

[MiAngel Cody @DecarcerateNow]

Al's voice is of someone who's seen death, & made it back alive. He personifies what our #ThirdStrikeCampaign is fighting for – & he's the fuel driving us til we bring home EVERYONE serving LIFE under this unjust sentence. Hear his story in his own words: https://t.co/OUvxC3IHhZ

🗣LOCK MY BODY, CAN'T LOCK MY MIND!

For #ThirdStrikeThursdays, let's talk about surviving a life sentence. It takes a mental fortitude most will never fully grasp. That's the space Al Reed now occupies––he was released in May after serving 25 yrs of a #ThirdStrike LIFE sentence.
