Two guilty verdicts. Two different responses. A respect for the rule of law vs disdain for it.

In a unanimous opinion, the SC Supreme Court just struck down the state sex offender registry as arbitrary, irrational, and excessive with respect to its purpose!!!

For 25 years, the Prison Litigation Reform Act has ensured there is little hope for people in prison to challenge unlawful conditions of confinement & other abuses. Congress must repeal this unjust law and provide millions of people in prison with equitable access to the courts.

"medical incident" = "death by strangulation"

[South Carolina Justice Project @SC_Justice_Proj]

It is worth revisiting--in the wake of the Chauvin jury's finding of murder beyond a reasonable doubt--the original MPD press release describing George Floyd's "medical incident" during a "police interaction."

Reminder of why police cannot "reform" themselves.

This is how the Minneapolis Police Department originally reported the POLICE murder of George Floyd.

We must invest in people & communities, not police and incarceration!

White kids were being released from juvenile detention centers at a far higher rate than their Black peers during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic. Young people of color have since been detained for longer than they were before the crisis.

The New York City Council has passed a series of police reform bills, one of which includes ending qualified immunity for officers. NYC is the first city in the nation to do this. https://t.co/y2YEvEJpoA

Today @SC_Justice_Proj along with @ROOTandREBOUND @ACLU_SC @AppleseedSC @Sc4Cjr and others sent a letter urging @henrymcmaster @BryanStirling and SC Jail Administrators to immediately vaccinate incarcerated persons in South Carolina https://t.co/0tKm09ARRF

We are excited to be co-sponsoring the remainder of the @Sc4Cjr series highlighting the death penalty in SC!

[South Carolina for Criminal Justice Reform @Sc4Cjr]

This month our focus will be on the death penalty in South Carolina.

Stay tuned for more information about this issue, and let us know your thoughts!

SCJP is firmly against the death penalty and its lesser scrutinized brother--life in prison without the possibility of parole ("LWOP")

[South Carolina for Criminal Justice Reform @Sc4Cjr]

Are you for or against the death penalty?

[South Carolina Justice Project @SC_Justice_Proj]

A hate-crime law increasing penalties for violence targeting LGBTQ persons is apparently a nonstarter in SC. Regardless of anyone's feelings about sex or gender, can't we agree that violence driven by hateful ideology is wrong?

[The State Newspaper @thestate]

Republican members argued that the bill could not pass the House this year if it contained explicit protections for LGBTQ individuals. https://t.co/PT1QLzECwb

🤬 When the jail gets pissed about me using my phone, but doesn’t care about my client’s heinous rash that I’m using my phone to photograph
