Here's a wonderful article by @cwwhite212 interviewing our @BishopWack on the power of Bryan Stevenson's witness & the mission of Joseph House

[Christopher White @ChrisWhiteGU]

+@BishopWack tells me that @JustMercyFilm “puts a human face” on the crisis facing America’s prison population and believes it could be a tool for awakening Catholic consciences to the reform that’s needed.

@cwwhite212 @BishopWack @JustMercyFilm @Crux Greetings @cwwhite212! We at Joseph House are grateful for you & @BishopWack sharing our story w/ folks. We'd love for you to visit us & hear stories from our brothers of what life in FL's prisons looks like & the challenges of reintegration. You have an open invitation!

[Bishop Bill Wack,CSC @BishopWack]

On this MLK day, my thoughts turn to peace and nonviolence. Found a great quote from Pope Francis’ 2020 World Day of Peace message: “We should never encapsulate others in what they may have said or done, but value them for the promise that they embody.” Good stuff right there.

Justice is about restoring lives, & joy comes when we get to journey with others through it. https://t.co/hh3oNoJGnS

@JillPiggott We'll definitely be with him as he sees it at the theaters. We watched the doc together.

@JillPiggott @Scheperrs @toby_dorena @Garrett_R_Hall @ryansaavedra @Pastor_Jill Praying for some relief to come your way sister Jill. Thought of you while watching this soon-to-be released doc on @PBS https://t.co/tV1f6C2CG1

Florida's prison system is 'widely overusing' solitary confinement to punish inmates, lawsuit says https://t.co/MMRxoI095l

[Fr. Dustin Feddon @fr_dustin]

Join us for an evening of Peace and Justice at our first Joseph House Gala. As we break bread together & celebrate our mission, we will hear the stories of residents, hear from Bishop William A. Wack, CSC and Tallahassee’s Public Defender Andy Thomas. https://t.co/MmREcb5CwB

[Fr. Dustin Feddon @fr_dustin]

We at Joseph House appreciate @TDOnline for their willingness to tell a little bit of our story with the wider TLH community!

Diocese opens Joseph House in Tallahassee to offer second chance for formerly incarcerated https://t.co/clfk8KsWBo

[Christopher White @ChrisWhiteGU]

Florida has the highest incarceration rate in the world, which is why @pt_diocese has opened up a new home for ex-offenders.

@BishopWack tells me "we’re accompanying individuals and reminding them that they’re still loved."

David Brooks: "Reparations are a drastic policy and hard to execute, but the very act of talking about and designing them heals a wound and opens a new story."
Let's have this conversation:

@JillPiggott @Prison_Zine Yes it would. I'd actually like to see something like this included on our new stories page: https://t.co/coeQTqXSzO

Sonya Cronin: "Let us see whose words will be fulfilled, the system that is content to see the dreams of prisoners die, or a far-reaching love that intends to see those dreams come to fulfillment." https://t.co/hfovZMfFJK

[Fr. Dustin Feddon @fr_dustin]

For those who ask me why Joseph is our model for our mission to restore dignity to those most affected by mass incarceration & our hope to hasten an end to a terribly punitive, dehumanizing justice system: https://t.co/zVlUDSJIHJ

[Fr. Dustin Feddon @fr_dustin]

@JoshuaBHoe @JillPiggott Thank you @JoshuaBHoe for your podcasts and the work you do for a more just, more merciful society. And thanks @JillPiggott for making this connection!

[Fr. Dustin Feddon @fr_dustin]

The more we as a civilization come to realize the extent to which we are social creatures in need of human connection, the more this form of punishment becomes a clear social sin in need of abolishing. Thank you @JillPiggott for the work you do on behalf of the most vulnerable.

[Jill Piggott @JillPiggott]

When we sentence kids as adults, we condemn them to long stretches in #solitary "for their protection." A remarkable, inspiring woman in my #prison study group @ReadingJustice recently wrote about what it's like for a teen to spend years locked alone in solitary. @fr_dustin

On this day in 1956, Autherine Lucy integrated the University of Alabama; days later she was suspended due to mob riots. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our past. Share this #racialinjustice https://t.co/mVPLahMq2I
