@KSCorrections updates families. It’s great. But it’s turned into a toot your own horn thing. And comes off tonedeaf. Info about visits longer than an hour? A hug? A kiss? Programs are great. But have a long sentence? DRs? You don’t qualify. #goodstart #ksleg #prison #domore

We often sit & watch while prison staff eat apples they bring in for lunch - we have not had fruit for 10 yrs. An officer gave an inmate an apple he wasn't going to eat & was walked out & fired. If only they would show such concern with staff selling us heroin & fentanyl.

@dcbenincasa3 @kcur @jambojiang @MissouriPrison did you see this??

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

@MissouriPrison @MoCorrections Good grief. So you drive hours and hope you’re the first? Spend hundreds to fly and don’t get in? Wow. Can’t see that this will cause any problems!

@HMPBristol Couldn’t possibly be more tone deaf

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

@MCR_Blu @HMPBristol HUMAN rights. Just human. That is all.

@KansasReflector @authormaxmccoy Thank you for your reporting on this. #ksleg is frequently saying how much they are against for-profit prisons…

"The idea that whether you live or die may turn on whether or not you are lucky enough to have a lawyer that can get your case in front of someone with that kind of megaphone — that’s just an indication of the arbitrariness of our system.”— @CassyStubbsNC https://t.co/ZXNnuAi0Oy

@SpeedyVeez Just another way of outsourcing and thus profiting off inmates and their families. Sickening.

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

@misisabell1 @SpeedyVeez Exactly. It’s preposterous.

[The Marshall Project @MarshallProj]

From 2001 to 2018, the number of people who have died of drug or alcohol intoxication in state prisons increased by more than 600%, according to an analysis of newly-released data. In county jails, overdose deaths increased by over 200%.

Asking what role celebrities should play in the justice system highlights what an abject dysfunctional mess it is!!!

[The Marshall Project @MarshallProj]

Death row prisoner Rodney Reed’s case is back in the courts, two years after his innocence claims were championed by Beyonce, Oprah, and others. But what role should celebrities play in the justice system? https://t.co/BmMl9SjP5v

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

@AbolitionNow_ Yes but we are still about rehabilitation ☠️

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

@KSCorrections you’re weary are you? Of what exactly? You have hour jobs. Your life has gone on. But ours? One hour visit per week still no contact? Don’t encourage us to mask and follow mitigation protocol when you don’t. The double standards are staggering.

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

@hannahcrileyy @Prison_Health Gross.

[@KansasPrison @KansasPrison1]

Yes! We need more of this!

[The Marshall Project @MarshallProj]

The Marshall Project has made the decision to stop using terms like “convict,” “inmate,” and “felon” in our journalism. Journalism is a discipline of clarity. That’s why we’ve solidified our policy for how we talk about people behind bars:

You can’t point to covid guidelines if you’re not following them!!! https://t.co/solovbU2Mo

@MissouriPrison @MoCorrections @AnnePrecythe So now that the state and doc numbers are going up the are updating it less regularly?!

[Secrets from a Prison Cell @cellsecrets]

I wonder....how many people know what actually goes on inside a prison on the daily? #eyesopen

Society's response to someone behaving violently or hatefully is to incarcerate them in places infamous for their hate and violence. Then, after a while, release them back into the community and pretend to be dumbfounded when they aren't 'better.'
