And on top of it the BOP won’t even permit people affected by this to go to this event to advocate for ourselves, to get the attention of people with power to affect change, to let them meet us, see us, and know who they’re sending back. So please go, since we CAN’T.
As many exonerations as you hear about, there are an exponentially greater number of wrongful convictions that do not ever lead to an exoneration because the system refuses to correct an injustice. The criminal legal system has so little to do with justice.
At last public count there are around 1,000 people in Boston's jails.
At Rikers the daily population is closer to 6,000.
4 people have died here. Right here.
WHERE is the independent investigation @MassAGO and where are the coordinated releases @SCDAONews?

@GovStitt Please take up the recommendation of the Pardon and Parole Board to commute the sentence of, and not execute, Julius Jones.
Their decision proves there is overwhelming doubt in his original conviction and that Oklahoma should not execute an innocent man.
Don’t do it MA electeds. Don’t visit incarcerated women in the 1 women’s prison in MA and try to say you are supporting a new women’s prison because you care about conditions at the current prison. Don’t you dare. Decarcerate now. Period. And don’t pretend we’re not out here.
@DARollins Meanwhile back on the home front there is a drought trying Quincy Butler fpr a #fifthtrial for crimes he didn't commit. Dont leave us stranded in the desert @DARollins 🙏🏽🏜
Truely our government has its priorities askew when it comes to which ethical violations they are concerned with. #justicedelayedisjusticedenied
Just ask Quincys 18 year old son.
Opposite of a fun fact:
F'd up fact
Quincy Butler has been held confined by the @ma_commonwealth for coming up on 17.5 years. Less than 1/2 of that time was he actually convicted. Arrested in 2004, held for 3 trials before the @SCDAONews illegally convicted him in #trial4 in '09
@SCDAONews Is this a friggin joke?? Grateful the folks in need of a service dog can access one but instead of celebrating national dog day this office focuses on the inhumanity of prosecuting Quincy Butler for a crime he did not commit for a fifth time. But ya, cute dog...
@DARollins how many times do you think the commonwealth should be able to try someone with a case that has absolutely no physical evidence against them at all? DNA that excludes them. Testimonies that even the judge described as "highly conflicting and contradictory" #trialFIVE

Lack of transparency is a lack of justice. Trying someone for a FIFTH time when dna excludes them is unjustified.
