She’s 71. She’s dying. She’s in a wheelchair. She has a room waiting in a nursing home. The DOC is ok with her release. She’s been a model prisoner. Oh, and she’s costing the state a ton of money in prison.

Alabama parole board: Parole denied.

[Interrupting Criminalization @interruptcrim]

A reminder to journalists and everyone else that police lie, all the time. Repeating or parroting police narratives is dangerous.

Migrants a problem? Put them in camps. The unhoused a problem? Put them in camps

Wonder where you will go when you are a “problem”?

The largest book ban in the nation is the book restriction policies in prisons and jails across the United States. https://t.co/1QTIwkWo5F

One of the biggest civil rights movements of today is to end mass incarceration. Find a way to join the movement. Find a way to be of service to help those impacted by injustices.

NEWS: My god. $820 million. NYC taxpayers will pay *$820 million* in just overtime for NYPD this year. Could instead house all 14,000 homeless families in NYC. Then years of rent for 7,000 families out of work & at risk of eviction. With millions left over.https://t.co/gTxt1GlHz8

[Working-class & Houseless Organizing Alliance @GsoWhoa]

This isn't a solution to homelessness. This is an internment camp.

Reminder that cops just pick and choose when and how to enforce the law, and this problem is getting worse.

[Robyn Pennacchia @RobynElyse]

So this guy is sent to jail on a drug charge he acquired because he was taking fentanyl for severe pain, his 9-year-old Type 1 diabetic son goes into state custody, dies of ketoacidosis in two weeks.

Set it all on fire, really.

Kids at Angola have been locked in their cells for days, only allowed to leave to shower, according to a teen who was held at the former death row unit. The power often goes out when it rains. When it's cold, there's no hot water. My latest for @theappeal.

@DomWatersUSHou1 Our constitution allows slave labor through the prison system. Private prisons profit over $139,000 per prisoner per year (2010 figures) Corporations pay discount wages avg. $12 per hour for prison labor, prisoners paid less than $1 hour.

Police killed more people in America in 2022 than any other year on record. At least 1,176 people were killed by police nationwide - 3.2 killings per day. https://t.co/0VQVssR82S

The annual cost of incarceration fee (COIF) per incarcerated person is more than many people make in a year. We could be funding stable housing and essential resources for folks with this money. Instead, the state opts to cage people.
