Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison. #Hebrews13v3

Texas became a model for criminal justice because it proved something important: that you can reduce prison populations, invest in rehabilitation, and improve public safety at the same time 👏 @tolmanbrett

There is no evidence that mandatory minimums reduce crime or increase community safety, but they do create racial disparities in sentencing.

When it comes to keeping communities safe, leaders have to move beyond posturing and focus on solutions that actually work.

Real progress happens when policy is driven by results, not rhetoric 👏 @Johnson4Dallas

[Right On Crime @RightOnCrime]

Many people returning from incarceration are motivated, capable, and ready to work. What they often lack is an opportunity.

But a single second chance can change the trajectory of a life, and even a community 👏

[Right On Crime @RightOnCrime]

"Conservative groups such as Right On Crime helped frame the issue not as being 'soft on crime,' but as being smarter and more fiscally responsible."

Thank you for the feature @Prisonology and @Forbes 👏🗞️ https://t.co/qASetuagLy

This Correctional Officers Week is a good time to examine the "staffing crisis" across the US

Prisons & jails are complaining that they can't hire & retain enough staff — why?

The simplest, most obvious answer: There are way too many people locked up🧵

@Birdseyeview45 @romyellenbogen @Sen_Albritton @Vanessa4Florida So sad and it doesn’t have to be this way.

Food was better before privatization. Now @aramark portions are so low families feel forced to buy iCare packages. This burden shifting takes advantages of families who are already suffering. #changethetray @FLSenate

[Florida Cares @florida_cares]

@Aramark serves 400 million+ meals a yr to incarcerated people in US state prisons. See what that food looks like. Findings are disturbing.

@JeffreyBrandes A third of Florida’s prisons are filled with people who’ve served decades and aged out of crime. If FL wants relief it should start by releasing the sick, elderly, and low-risk who have served long sentences. That’s the fastest, safest way to reduce pressure on a broken system.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

This Valentine's Day, we can't help but think of the steep cost that comes with trying to keep in touch with loved ones from behind bars.

Each year, incarcerated folks & their families are forced to pay more than $5 billion for commissary costs & telecom services:

[Florida Cares @florida_cares]

Men in some institutions are saying they do not have a 2nd blanket during this cold spell. A Corrections Ombudsperson could help get clarity on this concern before it rises to legislators. @FLSenate @FLGOPMajority

[Florida Cares @florida_cares]

An independent Corrections Ombudsman can help improve communication, coordination, and consistency across facilities—so concerns raised by families and their loved ones inside are heard, tracked, and addressed. Accountability matters.

[deniserock @deniserock11]

Surely if this police officer can forgive his son’s killer and have a relationship with him, the state of Florida grant him the grace of parole by passing a parole for long term prisoners bill.

Do you believe a person should be judged by the WORSE day in their life?

Agreed. Studies show visits reduce recidivism. Visits should never be taken away for a disciplinary reason unless the violation occurred during visitation.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

One of the cruelest, most unproductive disciplinary punishments prisons often turn to is taking away visitation

Here's the truth: Visitation has positive impacts for everyone – better health, reduced recidivism, and improvement in school. It should be a right, not a "privilege"

[Jeff Brandes @JeffreyBrandes]

It’s a great week for legislators to visit a #Florida prison. When you do, let us know—not to hold you accountable, but to say thank you!

Oversight is your job, and your predecessors knew how vital it was. Please exercise it.

We’re counting on you. @FLSenate @myflhouse @Daniel_PerezFL @Sen_Albritton @GovRonDeSantis @FL_Corrections

[deniserock @deniserock11]

@johnewetzel So true

[Worth Rises @WorthRises]

BREAKING! 🚨 In a move that protects financial interests and ignores the law and will of Congress, the FCC just delayed the implementation of new regulations that would lower prison and jail call rates by 2 years. The rules were set to save families over $500 million per year.

[Jeff Brandes @JeffreyBrandes]

#Florida is pouring money into locking up sick, elderly inmates who’ve served decades, while our prisons fall apart and officers leave in droves. If we followed Republican led federal release policies, we could redirect that cash where it’s actually needed and improve public safety. #smartoncrime
