We are proud to be listed as a co-sponsor along with some really incredible organizations. Let's build a more #CompassionateCalifornia (@FammFoundation @RootandRebound @C_C_W_P @WC4BL_Berkeley)
CA’s current compassionate release system has failed thousands of people like Demarey and Rhonda. It’s time for a more #CompassionateCalifornia. Learn more at https://t.co/fEVVrDB7Hb.
1 in 3 people who apply for compassionate release in California die in prison before the process can be completed...just like Rhonda's son, Demarey, who was only 28 years old.

#AB960 is a modest and long overdue move toward a more #CompassionateCalifornia - one that prioritizes human dignity, and investments into community-based care that are more effective and less expensive.
@FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Question 4: Housing an elderly person in a CA prison costs up to 9x more - and elderly people are at the lowest risk of returning to prison if released. Where could CA invest that money if we weren’t incarcerating people at the end of their lives? #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia
#AB960 would ensure that compassionate release determinations are based on clear medical eligibility and public safety determination by the courts. Join us to build a more #CompassionateCalifornia at https://t.co/fuQz0RfZA7!
@FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Question 3: How would #AB960 ensure that decisions about end of life care for people in prison are fair, and based on medical eligibility? #CompassionateCalifornia
@UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Elderly people present the lowest risk of reoffending if released from prison: studies tracking recidivism find rates as low as 3% for this population. Every year, we're spending millions to incarcerate people who can be safely released. #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia
Elderly and sick ppl are the most expensive to incarcerate, and the least likely to reoffend if released. But far too many die in prison before their compassionate release request is approved.

@FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Question 1: How does California’s current compassionate release system fail ALL Californians - both those in prison and those outside of it? #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia
Under California's current compassionate release system, nearly 1 in 3 eligible applicants die in prison before their compassionate release process is completed.

@UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Our current compassionate release system is cruel and ineffective. It condemns sick and dying people to worse quality of care in prison than they would receive if released, and forces families to watch from afar as their loved ones die alone. #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia
A4: 1 in 3 people in prison have a diagnosed mental health disorder. Imagine if we funded more mental health care in our communities, instead of relying on incarceration as a stand-in for medical intervention? #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia

@UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Current eligibility criteria is already far too narrow, with too many seriously ill people remaining in prison. People are almost 2x more likely to die in prison before their compassionate release request is processed than they are to be released. #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia
@UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree 97% of incarcerated adults experienced childhood trauma, including things like childhood poverty, violence, or the incarceration of a parent. Early childhood support is one of the best ways to prevent future cycles of violence and incarceration. #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia
@FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Question 5: Seriously or terminally ill people deserve to die with dignity outside of prison. What are some ways that you, your families, and your communities have come together to support ill or dying loved ones - in prison, or outside of it? #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia

@UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Our failing compassionate release system raises incarceration costs. Between 1990 and 2009, the population of elderly incarcerated people in CA increased by more than 500%. It costs up to 9x more to house these folks than younger, healthier people. #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia

@FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @ROOTandREBOUND @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Question 2: Everyone deserves quality care at the end of their life, but CDCR doesn’t have the resources required to provide this care to those who need it most. What support can only community members and loved ones provide? #AB960 #CompassionateCalifornia

With #AB960 now THROUGH the Senate, and on to the Assembly, we're hosting a Twitter Storm to talk about what real care and compassion look like for the severely ill in CA prisons. To answer questions and comment, use #AB960 and #CompassionateCalifornia!
