Prison isn't the solution to societal woes.
Prison is the embodiment of violence, or, violence incarcerated.
Prison & justice can't coexist.

I have learned that habeas corpus, is very complicated. Inmates are told to take an Alfred plead that basically calls them guilty #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

Compensation for those innocent put in prison needs to be remodeled- adjusted especially when their lives where damaged in cells #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

Hmm technology is certainly evolving, they have audio systems that can make you confess into something you didn't say, interesting #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

Interesting to find out that bite mark evidence is one famous method leading to conviction #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

Deaf people are having to deal with language deprivation in court houses, basically across the whole system #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

Deaf people are basically having the worst experience in the prison culture due to lack of access to communication #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A9: 2. Say I am Deaf, Require interpreter, lawyer and Will remain silent 👌🏾 #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A9: 1. Am I under arrest? #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A8: As a student I can host events or workshops to other students on what to do when addressing to law enforcement #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A8: As a student I can continue to tweet and to share to the world about wrongful convictions and mass incarceration #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A7: most law enforcement do not have the proper training on how to question people with disabilities and Deaf people #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A7: Deaf are wrongfully convicted because of very little access services given to them in the system, they're unaware of what happen #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A6:24 states have statewide public defender systems,many states have done a very awful job to make the right for indigent defense.#WCRIT

[Allison Fink @ahf1853]

#WCRIT A5 Incarcerate less people= lessen load of public defenders.Ensure that indigent people get an attorney that can devote their time

[Cortez @csh7893]

A5: Lawyers are just too expensive there has to be some type of legal aid support or reduce budget for those who can't afford one #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A4: my standard would be not to allow any lawyer to be given too many loads of cases at a time , that leads to being ineffective #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A3: The pressure is on the attorneys especially during death sentence cases, practically they have the defendants life in their hands #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A3: this quote relates by lawyers having expectations having to be great as they possibly can during the process #WCRIT

[Cortez @csh7893]

A2: one factor is when the person is unaware of their rights when addressing with the police they are stuck in a vulnerable position #WCRIT
