Incarcerated people are dying at Parchman and still no action has been taken to reduce Mississippi's dangerously high prison population.
That's why we need lawmakers to vote to override Governor @tatereeves veto of SB 2123. #msleg https://t.co/4S56n3zqaA
Rev. Wesley Bridges, executive director of @CPR_MS: people seeking changes are “tired of broken promises by incoming and outgoing governors about what they’re going to do for prison reform.” https://t.co/Lyb22y7SiL #MSPrisonReformNow
We at Clergy for Prison Reform are beyond disappointed to learn that @tatereeves rejected SB2123 with a veto. We fight on for our brothers and sisters behind prison walls. #MSPrisonReformNow#msleg
Applied correctly, SB 2123 will safely address overcrowding in Mississippi prisons, provide second chances to offenders deemed to represent the least risk & save the state tens of millions of $$$. #msleg@MarcALevin@JGKoufos@CPR_MS@FWDus@jennykim@thesarahfield
Dr. Dobbs (w/@msdh), during Governor @tatereeves’ daily press conference,said “the goal” is to test everyone who is a resident or works at a long term care facility (27,000 ppl). Hope we have similar plans for @MS_MDOC (18,000 ppl). #msleg#moretest@CPR_MS @RevRhodes @justice4ms
The faith community has long-served as a source of support for families/communities devastated by our incarceration crisis. @CPR_MS works to combat the incarceration crisis & deliver a fairer system of justice to Mississippi communities. #SecondChanceMonth https://t.co/B2kzW074de
