"We were able to collectively raise awareness with her case and bring it to the attention of lawmakers," Meshell said. Thanks to @freeheartsorg @SenEdJackson @alexechambers @lovejusticeproj

A jury sentenced Dodd to life behind bars 20 years ago for conspiring in the murder of her husband, Henry Dodd, who was also her stepfather. The jury reached that conclusion even though it was Henry's nephew who shot him.

Right On Crime applauds the bipartisan passage of the Oklahoma Survivors’ Act which would give courts the ability to impose lower sentences on survivors of domestic violence whose victimization was a significant factor in their underlying offense. @marilyndavidson

Prisons can't provide enough behavioral health and education programs for inmates because of demand, audit shows.

Today, I had an awesome conversation with @JustinoBrooks to discuss his career with the @CA_Innocence and his new book "You Might go to Prison Even Though you're Innocent"

I honestly can't believe there is a court in America that allows for inadmissible drug tests to be used as the basis for taking and keeping children. #DisruptManchester

Humanity should be in our correctional systems because they are filled with humans.

[Heather Meshell @meshell_heather]

Very grateful for the senators who made time to meet with women serving life sentences in Nashville. The ladies courageously shared their stories of injustice & experiences w/the system. The legislators were so engaged & moved by their stories. We need more of this! @MindyDodd2

[Jessica Jackson @JessicaJackson]

The fact that judges can sentence someone to longer in prison using a crime they’ve been acquitted of is mind boggling to me. How did we get here?

[Judge Roy Ferguson @JudgeFergusonTX]

Happy #LawyerCat day for all who celebrate!! Today is the 2nd anniversary of Lawyercat. To celebrate, here is the full and complete hearing from start to finish, with a few seconds at the end that you haven't seen! For the next year, may you all be here live and #NotaCat.

The Death Penalty in 2022—In June 2022, Idaho reached ten years without an execution. 37 states have now abolished the death penalty or not executed anyone for at least a decade. @DPInfoCtr

[Heather Meshell @meshell_heather]

This. I have a client who should have been released in Aug. but due to time miscalculation & multiple admin errors is still incarcerated. He missed Thanksgiving with his family. I don't know if it's bureaucratic indifference or incompetence (probably both) but I agree it's cruel.

[Bryan Stephenson @TNCrimDefense]

One of the cruelest things about our criminal justice system is the bureaucratic indifference. One tiny piece of neglect or laziness by a gov't actor can absolutely F somebody's life.
