If investigators become committed to a particular theory of guilt, there is a real danger that evidence is interpreted through that lens rather than being objectively examined. That is why independent scrutiny, proper disclosure, and rigorous testing of all the evidence are so important. Police, prosecutors and the courts should be willing to challenge their own assumptions and correct errors when the evidence demands it. Justice should never be about protecting a conviction at all costs. It should be about finding the truth and ensuring that the evidence genuinely supports the verdict.

If a prosecutor knowingly withholds evidence, misleads the court, or deliberately pursues the conviction of someone they know is innocent, there should be serious consequences, including the possibility of criminal charges. Nobody involved in the justice system should be above accountability, especially when someone’s freedom and entire life are at stake.

A blistering reminder that only 5 U.S. states provide air conditioning in all prison units.

And states like Texas and Florida, known for sweltering heat, are not among them:

[Wrongly Convicted @Liyana338931741]

The Knox case is a powerful reminder of how dangerous tunnel vision can be within policing and prosecution. Once investigators become convinced they have the right suspect or theory, there is a real risk that contradictory evidence gets dismissed or interpreted to fit the existing narrative. Cases like this should encourage proper challenge, independent review and a willingness to consider alternative explanations. Justice depends on following the evidence wherever it leads—not forcing the evidence to fit the theory.

❤️ CHANGING PRISONERS CLOTHES, CHANGES LIVES! For a moment, they’re not defined by a prison uniform, a number, or the worst decision they’ve ever made. They get to look in the mirror and see a mom. A dad. A person with dignity, purpose, and a future. And their children get to see it too. They get to see their mom in a beautiful dress. Their dad in a tuxedo. They get to hug them, dance with them, laugh with them, and create memories that look different from the prison visits they’ve known. Because when you restore a mother or father, you impact a child. And when you impact a child, you can change an entire generation. This is what restoration looks like.

"In prison, the health conditions that typically define someone as “elderly” begin at 55... a full decade before most outside of prison begin to meet this definition"

Mass incarceration is a public health crisis.

Seeking answers is understandable. But it’s so much more comforting to invite God’s peace to just fill in the gaps of all the unknowns.

It’s when we decide to stop the relentless grasping for unanswerable questions that our hands are free to take hold of what He has for us next.

Today marks 61 years since the Voting Rights Act outlawed racial discrimination in voting. But because of mass incarceration, millions of people—particularly from Black & brown communities—are disenfranchised.

Michael Highfill was wrongfully convicted of capital murder more than 26 years ago. The DA's Office now believes he was wrongfully convicted, but he's still serving a life sentence. TDS is fighting for his release. Read the @TexasMonthly story ⬇️

And don't forget that for the nearly 2 million people locked up, high gas prices mean fewer visits, fewer care packages, and less contact with their loved ones — crucial parts of surviving behind bars.

Remember: Summers are getting hotter, and heat waves are getting deadlier, especially for people behind bars.

What’s clear is that the system is not willing or capable of protecting folks from the effects of climate change. It's time to decarcerate.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Right now, there are fewer than 53,000 "cool beds" available in TX prisons (beds in air-conditioned areas), and a formula decides who gets to access them.

That leaves thousands of vulnerable folks—even those who suffer from medical conditions—exposed to deadly temperatures.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Texas has one of the largest carceral systems in the world, with nearly 150,000 people locked up in state prisons. The vast majority of them don't have access to AC — and for years, the Lone Star State has fought to keep it that way.

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

As temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees, an algorithm decides who gets a shot at landing a "cool bed" in prisons where AC is lacking.

This isn't an episode of Black Mirror. It's reality in Texas prisons.

@GeauxGabrielle The adult system has vanishingly small oversight as well. I was in jail during one of the audits. They did a dry run weeks I'm advance and when the predetermined date came everything completely changed for that one week. Then back to the abuse. It's a joke
