“Physicians act as gatekeepers to incarcerated people seeking compassionate release…one of the major barriers and questions is ‘do prison physicians even see the humanity of the patients they serve?’”
Straight 🔥🔥🔥 from @reeyah_de at @hrcberkeley @WC4BL_Berkeley #AB960
"I don't see the reason why he's still here. He's no longer a threat."
There's no reason to keep people locked up as they die. #AB960 expands compassionate release eligibility for people like Gary who are seriously ill in prison.

California just passed a slate of justice reform laws, including one that expands the state’s “compassionate release” program to help people leave prison when terminally ill.

"This prison should be condemned. It is so old and broke down. Ladies are getting sick in here. They don't have adequate medical, they don't have doctors." - These words come from a survey we received last year that helped inform our work on #AB960. (1/3)
2️⃣ Newsom SIGNED a bill to expand California's 'compassionate release' program, which will help people leave prison when terminally ill.
With very long sentencing, so many people are condemned to die in prison. This is chip into that. #AB960 https://t.co/LUESHoJ08J
We're holding Rhonda, her son Demarey, and everyone else for whom this bill comes too late in our hearts today - and we hope the signing of #AB960 into law marks a turning point for future families like Rhonda's. 💛
“To not be able to physically be there for your child - there’s no compassion in that.”
California's current compassionate release system has failed thousands of people like Demarey & Rhonda. It's time for a more #CompassionateCalifornia. Learn more at https://t.co/xAfob1DbtZ

EPISODE 4 OUT NOW.
Gary Cooper is struggling with a terminal diagnosis in prison. For much of his day, he's assisted by a caretaker who helps him with everything from getting dressed to giving him medication - that caretaker is also incarcerated.

@PiperSFrench in @boltsmag connects the #AB960 victory to the need to free elderly & medically vulnerable people impacted by harsh sentencing in CA.
The “people sentenced under mandatory minimum guidelines and handed lengthy enhancements…are now growing old and sick in prison.”
People with terminal illnesses languish in California prisons while their applications for compassionate release have been delayed or denied.
California legislators passed a bill this week that aims to improve the process and expand releases. New: https://t.co/KADfIZwHg4
“It was like that movie Groundhog Day. It happened over and over. It was almost universal that they died before they could get out.”

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.
It's time for a more #CompassionateCalifornia. Learn more about #AB960 at https://t.co/xAfob1DbtZ
#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
CA’s current compassionate release program denies dignity to SO many people who deserve access to love, care, & community outside of prison. Access to loved ones is a driving force for incarcerated people w/ terminal illnesses, which is why we need #AB960.
@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
@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
@UnCommLaw @FAMMFoundation @c_c_w_p @SmartJusticeCA @ellabakercenter @SentencingProj @ImpactJustice @InitiateJustice @AntiRecidivism @YoungWomenFree Incarcerated people are human beings, and many have expressed that, above all else, they hope to die with dignity outside of prison walls. Those with families and communities who can care for them should be given the opportunity to live out their remaining days in peace. #AB960
