In Texas, it’s illegal to leave a dog in a hot car. But it’s still legal to lock a human in a sweltering concrete cell with no AC.

HB3006 passed the House—now it’s stalled.
Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick won’t refer it to committee.
@txlege @TerryCanales40 @Menendez4Texas
Call him out. Demand he does.

HOLY SHIT! Did you see the end of @60Minutes tonight?

@Acyn He is just upset that Trump University could not get accredited.

[Knights of Monte Cristo @KnightsMonte]

@G_Padraic Tracking individuals with autism through a 'disease registry' is a step backward, not forward. This approach risks stigmatization and invasion of privacy, rather than fostering understanding and inclusion. We need policies that empower and support, not isolate and label.

@theappeal Cutting funding to the Prison Rape Elimination Act Resource Center undermines efforts to protect vulnerable individuals in correctional facilities. Human rights and safety must remain a priority. #JusticeMatters #PREA

[The Appeal @theappeal]

BREAKING: Trump’s Department of Justice has cut all funding to the national Prison Rape Elimination Act Resource Center, according to a letter obtained by The Appeal. https://t.co/R1zkGxNRPH

[Knights of Monte Cristo @KnightsMonte]

@theappeal It's a practice that will eventually be used to intern other types of "offenders"; a practice we have started to see with the public registry. A very dangerous precedent.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Extreme heat is increasingly common – and increasingly deadly for people behind bars.

It's clear the carceral system cannot keep up with the grim realities of mass incarceration. No one should be subjected to such inhumane conditions.

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

There are 80 million individuals in the U.S. with a criminal record. This prevents them from furthering their education, finding stable housing, and so much more.

Will you join us in advocating for those who want to better their lives?

The woman who killed Tejano music icon Selena in 1995 has been denied parole https://t.co/JlfkExYCRT

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Food insecurity is an overlooked consequence of incarceration, and it can’t be separated from the problems of homelessness & unemployment

Apart from the obvious policy choice of incarcerating fewer people, states & counties must provide more support for recently released people

[Knights of Monte Cristo @KnightsMonte]

@JusticePolicy The criminal justice system does not want to acknowledge that it is capable of making errors.

[Knights of Monte Cristo @KnightsMonte]

@PrisonPolicy The Texas System is design for offenders to receive disciplinary actions. A lack of disciplinary write ups in an individual's file is looked at negatively by the Texas Parole Board - cited as "manipulating the system".

[Equal Justice Initiative @eji_org]

On this day in 1931, nine Black teenagers were arrested and falsely accused of raping two white women in Scottsboro, Alabama. They spent 6-17 years in prison despite evidence that exonerated them.
