In US v. Davis, #SCOTUS holds that definition of “crime of violence” for purposes of federal criminal prosecution for using gun during such a crime is unconstitutionally vague

This is a big step, not sure I have faith in the BOP, but the idea that EVERY person leaving incarceration should have an on-ramp to employment is CRITICAL and should be the norm EVERYWHERE #FirstStepAct https://t.co/fGIcB6l86C

Colorado, Illinois, & Oklahoma all overhauled their drug laws in May.

This'll have huge impacts! Many won't go to prison, 1000s of convictions will be expunged. But each reform was also weakened by end, often bc of state DAs. I looked into all this. new: https://t.co/IISjOfBx29

Prison abolitionists are the fastest growing subset of the criminal justice reform movement. Here's what they believe:

📣 The system is inherently racist
📣 Prisons and jails need to be eradicated
📣 Institutions of law should be re-evaluated https://t.co/PTG2qxU7RJ

admins lock the southern prisons down for days, months, and yes even years on end...my question is when will they blow? And they will, eventually. e simply cannot treat people worse than animals and then expect them to miraculously "behave"....our prisons are a huge #FAIL
