Parents in Prison: An Interview With Chesa Boudin @thenation https://t.co/3UGHEF587P points to need for prison reform beyond what we already know about racial disparities, overcrowding, ineffectiveness. Prisoners lose their identities as parents and children suffer #SUsocialwork

@JenniferLanzil4 @SUSocialWork @HeatherDiehl8 We should be concerned not only about the number of children who are not being educated but also about the number of them who are being subjected to abuse and neglect without access to a reporting source or even a place of respite normally provided during school #SUsocialwork

Students should not receive a lower grade because they are homeless, have to care for siblings while parents work, or lack reliable internet #SUsocialwork
