This past weekend the LBJ School’s @PJInnovationLab hosted the Deaths in Custody Conference, bringing together experts from across the US to address this urgent issue. We were honored to have Andrea Armstrong, MacArthur Genius Award winner, deliver a thought-provoking keynote.

A special thank you to Michele Deitch and Alycia Welch for their tireless efforts in organizing this event and to @Arnold_Ventures for their continued partnership.

As the UK looks to TX for solutions to its prison woes, I worry that the TX reforms are not being portrayed accurately & that the picture being presented of TX is overly rosy. 🧵 /1

On International Women’s Day, @PJInnovationLab visited WA Corr Center for Women—a facility we featured in The Pandemic Gender Gap—& were delighted to see the positive initiatives are still in place, including a mom and babies program! Thanks @WA_OCO for letting us join you. See👇

📘In the month or so since it's launch, I've already referred dozens of policy makers to the National Resource Center for Correctional Oversight. Invaluable #PrisonOversight resource from @UTAustin's Prison and Jail Innovation Lab.
