Justice for Jon

Jon Lancaster was tortured & died in the MDOC at the hands of staff. These staff are still employed and not held accountable. Help us expose and bring change!

For #InternationalWomensDay2026, we invite you to learn about the history of women facing the torture of solitary confinement. Our Senior Writer reminds us that "The more things change, the more they remain the same but this constancy is not inevitable."

“The system plays us against each other. That’s part of what keeps me scared and awake at night. It’s not just individual guys; it’s the culture. The PTSD it causes is real."

A must-read from @prismreports – especially during PTSD Awareness Month

#Florida is pouring money into locking up sick, elderly inmates who’ve served decades, while our prisons fall apart and officers leave in droves. If we followed Republican led federal release policies, we could redirect that cash where it’s actually needed and improve public safety. #smartoncrime

Shelby County [Memphis] mayor signing executive order to end solitary confinement, spokesperson says https://t.co/etPpt24ezq Headline should say "limit solitary," not "end solitary." Still a promising development if it really happens, especially for a jail system in the South.

A reminder this #Juneteenth: The criminal legal system controls more than 5.5 million people.

Incarceration is just one piece of the puzzle – there are millions of people who are left stripped of complete freedom even after release.

The fight for NYC's HALT Law to end solitary confinement continues. 11,000 people are held in solitary confinement by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Tariq MaQbool's moving narrative captures the psychological toll of forced isolation.

Today marks 10 years since the death of Kalief Browder--a pivotal moment moment in the movement to end solitary confinement as well as a terrible tragedy and an indictment of the NYC and US justice systems. Rally this morning at 9 am at 60 Centre St., NYC. https://t.co/kpoLIFtbQy

Solitary is being used as punishment for nonviolent acts, not safety. As recognized by the UN this is torture, not justice.

@CollinRugg @BillMelugin_ A citizen who legally carries a firearm could have solved his problem quickly. Disgusting.

Kalief Browder died 10 years ago today. NY prisons & jails continue to torture, brutalize & kill people. NYS must implement the HALT Solitary Law, NYC must implement Local Law 42 to ban solitary & lawmakers must act to release people & stop sending people to deadly cages.
