Light After Life

Today, we honor mothers in every circumstance. 💐

The mothers raising children, missing children, loving someone through incarceration, & rebuilding after hardship.

Motherhood is not erased by struggle it’s revealed through resilience, healing, faith, love. Happy Mother’s Day!

🪖We trained them for war.
We didn’t prepare them for coming home.

🎖️The Veteran First Step Act is smart reform treatment-focused, reducing recidivism, & strengthening public safety by addressing service-related trauma.

Honored to attend Florida Justice Institute’s 2nd Annual Signature Event.

A powerful reminder that education, dignity, and justice matter—inside and outside prison.

Congrats to Florida Prison Education Project and Kathie Klarreich for the incredible work.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Just a reminder that the U.S. spends more than $445 BILLION on mass incarceration each year.

This is a clear display of priorities — and it's not keeping families healthy or safe.

“In September, a federal Judge certified a class action allowing more than 1,500 inmates to collectively challenge prison heat conditions they say increase the risk of illness and death.

@FL_Corrections Secretary Ricky Dixon previously testified that roughly 75% of the state’s prison housing units are not air-conditioned.”

https://t.co/V2crtgm96q Imagine if @CaseyDeSantis did an unannounced visit in Florida to lets say Gulf CI or Polk CI what would she see if she did her own tour? Windows w/no glass/screens, no airflow, roaches in kitchen, people wearing rags...but they attend dog/pony show tour.

I challenge you to do unannounced visits @jonmartinesq and @SenatorMcClain @ileanagarciausa @CarlosGSmith @RepMcClure

[José Javier Rodríguez (Atty General candidate) @JoseJavierJJR]

Three weeks ago, AG James Uthmeier left his own press conference to avoid questions about his own corruption.

$100,000 a year to teach just 2 hours a week. 8× what most adjuncts earn.

Floridians deserve an AG who stands up to corruption — that’s why I’m running to replace him.

April 1 Light After Life launches a monthly newsletter + live Zoom.

Each month we’ll slow down, take one justice issue, share a story, break it down, & hear from those closest to the work.

We say “Support Our Troops.”

But when veterans struggle with trauma, addiction, or reentry — we incarcerate them.

That’s not honor. That’s failure.

It’s time to invest in treatment, rehabilitation, and real second chances.

RECIDIVISM is BAD for people

RECIDIVISM is GREAT for the prison industry high-growth business model

🧱The cycle isn't broken. It’s built this way

When your "product" is a person in a cell, success looks like a high return rate

🫶🏻 Our voice matters, but we have to use it

[Light After Life @LightAfterFL]

This officer had multiple issues with excessive force. He was transferred instead of being fired and now a father has been murdered. We really need misconduct to be handled instead of protected.

HB 1283 punishes victims not liars. By raising the personal risk & cost of reporting the truth while protecting misconduct.
Fear into silence harms, escalates & accountability vanishes.

Public safety isn’t built on assumptions.

Mental illness ≠ danger. Risk rises when care is untreated or disrupted.

Prisons aren’t designed for sustained treatment—and 95% of people return home.

Safety is shaped after release.
This is about outcomes, not ideology.
