Clean Slate Legislation is a policy priority here at SLC. Many of our members support the TimeDone Movement, the largest nationwide community of people with old records. Listen to our Maggie Luna as she shares her lived experiences and second chances. https://t.co/292DN4AF1w

The current legal system punishes people long after they’ve completed their sentence. Shout out to SLC member, Angel Carroll, for raising awareness of this important legislation. https://t.co/cgekUaFK8M

Letters from the inside….

[Austin Chronicle @AustinChronicle]

For his series on the dangerous heat in Texas prisons, Brant Bingamon spoke prisoners, former prisoners, and their family members. These letter excerpts represent just a few of the accounts of people who reached out in response to Brant's pieces. https://t.co/6kC8GZAyr6

“We’re assigned one pack of pads and five regular-size tampons monthly. If you’re one of the heavy bleeders, the state will not provide you any extra items. You must purchase them. We aren’t paid to work in Texas. And nothing is free in prison.” https://t.co/5ecCsS89V6

Please pray for all those at the Walls Unit. Public Safety Officers and the incarcerated.

As people suffer extreme heat behind bars and the child prison crisis continues, the Texas Tribune will now have no one covering either system.

There are over 128,000 adults in state prisons, a number that doesn't include those on probation or parole.

"The death count is likely higher, as prisons have 30 days to report a prisoner’s death to the state."
