So how can you tell if this is happening in your county?
The Prison Policy Initiative put together a resource to help you figure out whether, and to what extent, your county may be collaborating with federal agencies.
I’m not sure who was being more lazy, creators or devs but the amount of time they hyped up inviting creators out for feedback sessions with hands on gameplay just for so many dumb things to still be in the beta is ridiculous.
Skill based matchmaking has to go. Just makes the games so miserable. Activision has to stop exclusively reading their data and start understanding the way players feel.
The carceral system is a black box, making it hard for students & teachers interested in the criminal legal system to study what’s happening inside the walls of prisons and jails.
📚 This back-to-school season, we put together some resources to fix that:

Jails are allowed to hold people for ICE for up to 72 hours, but they're using rebookings to circumvent the rule.
In Florida, one woman was held for 26 DAYS.
Local law enforcement is fueling the deportation agenda.

🚨NEW REPORT: Most people think of probation and parole as pathways away from the carceral system — but that couldn't be further from the truth.
New data reveal how community supervision has grown in parallel with mass incarceration and widened the net of social control 🧵
On Wednesday, April 22, Judge Christopher Spataro of the Elkhart Superior Court granted Notre Dame Exoneration Justice Clinic (@NDLawEJC) client Iris Seabolt’s petition for post-conviction relief (PCR), vacating her wrongful murder conviction and ordering a new trial. While she has not yet been fully exonerated, the decision marks a significant development in a case spanning more than two decades and raises broader concerns about the use of jailhouse informants, disclosure obligations, and the integrity of criminal investigations.

This is one consequence of the left not being clear about reducing budgets for state repression. Every Democratic Party politician going on about “training” and “body cams” and every Jacobin author vaguely saying the left should not talk about repressive budgets leads to this:
Five years ago today, Ron Jacobsen was finally exonerated after 31 years of wrongful conviction. After decades in prison, Ron faced a steep technological learning curve. But then he found love in the unlikeliest of places — an online game.
Wish Ron a happy exoneration anniversary!

Ervin Harris was exonerated last month after nearly five decades of wrongful conviction, based on an unreliable eyewitness identification. Eyewitness misidentification plays a role in 70% of wrongful conviction that end in DNA exonerations. https://t.co/ykB0P4AayL
I cannot express how dangerous it is for the left to embrace surveillance, cops, and prisons. Jacobin's editor doing so repeatedly should alarm anyone who cares about a more just world. His refusal of private/public invitations to discuss it openly reflects poorly on Jacobin.
#JefferyLee is once again counting down the days before Alabama intends to murder him. How can he face execution even though the verdict of his jury rejected it? Judicial override is how.
Judicial override was outlawed in Alabama nearly a decade ago. But Jeffery and 24 others still face the possibility of execution because the law was not made retroactive. I shouldn't matter whether one's crime happened before or after 2017. Judicial override is unjust regardless.
Join us for a virtual screening of Jeffery's clemency film with further discussion by those closest to the case.

The people writing confidentially in Jacobin that the left should vaguely embrace existing policing and police budgets are banking on readers having no idea what the policing bureaucracy actually does and why.
