Pervis Payne is facing execution on Dec. 3, in Tennessee, despite living with an intellectual disability and maintaining his innocence for 33 years. The evidence in his case has never been tested for DNA.

I made $5.25 per month in federal prison. One 15-minute phone call costs $3.15.

All people held at this facility deserve to be treated with humanity and dignity.

We need an independent investigation and the release of surveillance footage to ascertain exactly what happened and ensure accountability.

The incarcerated aren’t just in physical danger from Covid-19. The suspension of in-person visits is serious emotional blow for them and their families.

Prisons are overcrowded and full, which means that Prison populations are especially vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

We just released the 2020 update to our "Whole Pie" report showing how many people are locked up in the U.S., where, and why.

2,270,800 lives are represented in this chart. Every single one is at stake if prisons and jails don’t decarcerate right now.

Here's our story from Sunday night on Prison Labor...https://t.co/FipEppZnnA

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Mass incarceration—in which we lock up far more people than any other country on Earth—is an inhumane policy which has completely failed.

We must invest in affordable housing, education and jobs, not more jails and incarceration.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Solitary confinement is a form of torture. It is unconstitutional. It has got to be abolished as part of comprehensive reform to our racist criminal justice system. https://t.co/yPEJJNWnBv
