Fed Prison Reform

The United States criminal justice system is broken. Together we can help to fix it.

@KevinARing @MarcALevin I’ve watched many hearings and it’s a lot of outrage with little to no action

@WhiteHouse Still waiting to receive my benefits from a 2 year old claim

[Glenn E. Martin 🐐 @glennEmartin]

Pardon people, @POTUS. Pardon people.

@nickdiramio There is no such thing as white collar prison. Please check your facts before tweeting. This kind of statement perpetuates the ignorance

[Janos Marton @janosmarton]

Did you know that judges can increase the length of prison sentences based on "acquitted conduct" - things people are charged w/ but not convicted of?

That must change. If Congress doesn't act, we hope the Supreme Court will. Thanks to AFP for having us join their amicus brief.

I think “criminals” can bring unique perspectives and experiences that all of our people in Congress would benefit from. Great job @RepSeanMaloney

[Glenn E. Martin 🐐 @glennEmartin]

I hate when cowards use criminal record as a surrogate for classism & racism. @RepSeanMaloney deserves to be commended, knowing that most formerly incarcerated people who violate parole & probation are unemployed at the time of arrest. Great job, Rep. Maloney.

@nypost is a rag.

Don’t talk to police. If you are going to say words to police, they should only be “I want to speak to a lawyer.” That invokes your right to silence under both the Fifth & Sixth Amendments. All questioning must cease. Don’t talk to police. If you are going to say words to police,

@holly_harris He doesn’t look like a lineman to me. If they do get him lineman gloves to save the fingers from getting stepped on.

Hi. Longtime public defender here. I & my colleagues around the country have millions of stories of *actual* state violence, misconduct, & illegality we could share w/ you. Don’t have to imagine. They predominately involve Black & brown people though. Would you still care?

[Fed Prison Reform @PrisonFed]

@RepStefanik Don’t need to imagine. We have lived it and it is unbelievable

@glennEmartin Welcome to the club

And @CapitalOne won’t give bank with you if you have a felony on your record. #whatsinyourwallet

[Axios @axios]

Content by @CapitalOne: About 28 million Americans are credit invisible, which shuts them out of lending, housing and employment opportunities.

In 2017 I was gonna commit suicide, in large part, due to PRISON Traumatic Stress Disorder! Today, I'm working with @reform and @betterhelp to help people who are helping (justice impacted) people who need help!

[Adnan Khan @akhan1437]

Formerly incarcerated ppl are more afraid of society than society is of them. The stigma of incarceration can be brutal and becomes a life sentence of its own once you’re “free”.

[Fed Prison Reform @PrisonFed]

This is horrendous and part of why the public has such a gross misunderstanding of the reality.

[Glenn E. Martin 🐐 @glennEmartin]

Would you go to this bar?

[Fed Prison Reform @PrisonFed]

Does this really surprise anyone? It took BOP forever to even recognize earned time credits. Of course the calculation is wrong. Congress will hold a hearing. BOP will claim lack of staff and funding just like they always do and that will be the end of it. Feeling cynical today

Bureau Of Prisons Holding People For Longer Than Law Allows, in violation of the First Step Act. https://t.co/5GhPNo9gEx

@KevinARing Love it. My son is thinking the same will happen to him next month. Although truthfully he would love to serve on a jury and the legal system would benefit from his experience

[Fed Prison Reform @PrisonFed]

Me too. And let’s add in the challenge of the halfway house and it’s barriers to reintegration.

[Alina Feas, PsyD @AlinaFeas]

I'm one of them!🤚The chances of finding a decent job with a federal record are very limited. Add that for the three years of supervision, the judge prohibited me from working in the only thing I know how to do, then chances are even much less. Here, second chance is a utopia!😠

@TopekaKSam Congratulations on both the anniversary and the award
