Watch the new film "The Alabama Solution" on @HBO to viscerally understand why we need independent prison oversight throughout this country. Abject institutional violence and neglect + rampant drug abuse and deaths do not breed safety, strong families, or strong communities. They breed more crime, more violence, and ruin more lives. @FAMMFoundation

“People who are sick and dying, who are simultaneously the lowest risk and the highest cost burden to the state, should be released,” says @FAMMFoundation@EJW_org Fellow Molly Crane. She & NC partners are working to make that a reality in North Carolina. https://t.co/cVhRWIIey2

Not all cuts are equal. The administration should reconsider the cut to retention bonuses or we are going to see more fallout like below. People’s lives and safety are at-risk. These cuts are being made to an already depleted system…
@johnson_carrie Thank you for shining your bright light on abuse in chambers and the failure of the judiciary to afford clerks not only a safe working environment, but a safe way to report the conduct.

2,500 souls.
2,500 families.
2,500 lives restored.
@POTUS just announced that he has commuted the sentences of 2,500 people who had been victims of unjust crack cocaine laws.
This is what living up to our American values looks like.

NATIONAL LABOR UNION PRESIDENTS URGE PRESIDENT BIDEN TO CONTINUE TAKING BOLD CLEMENCY ACTION. From AFL-CIO, AFSCME, AFT, APWU, UMWA, NEA, and SEIU: commute sentences for people currently in prison whose sentences would be much shorter today https://t.co/R1xmjwrJnn
FAMM applauds @POTUS for granting nearly 1,500 commutations for people on CARES Act home confinement—a life-changing step for families across America. There’s still more work to do. Clemency must extend to those still waiting for justice. #SecondChances#KeepThemHome#ClemencyNow
Today, I’m pardoning 39 people with non-violent crimes who have demonstrated remorse and rehabilitation, and I’m commuting the sentences of nearly 1,500 others – many of whom would have received lower sentences today.
America was built on second chances. That's what these pardons and commutations represent.
