The question has been asked three times: what is the average caseload? The question has not been answered. The answer is: about 270-350.

#MondayMotivation Got warrants? Great news! You have until May 31st to sign up to get them resolved after being arrested during our Amnesty = June 7th thru 9th!
So important to take advantage of this so that we can have more. Important coalition work to prevent more jail deaths.

Join us today at City Hall to hear management testify to the Louisville Metro Council Budget Committee on their refusal to bargain with us and their utilization of the Smith & Smith law firm! See you all at 5:30!

When I put my notice in, I had over 300 cases, including multiple A felonies carrying the potential of life in prison. I had been an attorney less than 2 years.

'Frantz Fanon’s influence on Paulo Freire’s thought is well known, but the Brazilian educator also drew considerably from Amílcar Cabral, the revolutionary intellectual from Guinea-Bissau.'

Do you realise what a radical thing libraries are? Publicly-funded spaces where you can access information, countless books, and the internet even if you are homeless? There is a reason why people in power want to convince you they are superfluous and should be defunded.

[Udi Ofer @udiofer_]

Folks! We have a really exciting opening at the ACLU’s Justice Division. We’re looking for a campaign strategist to help us fight to end mass incarceration, and specifically to run issue and electoral campaigns across the nation. Help us spread the word! https://t.co/flAYz5ygQE

[The Marshall Project @MarshallProj]

We asked incarcerated people what might have prevented them from committing the crimes that landed them behind bars. Respondents said that affordable housing, a living wage, and mental health care would have made the most impact. https://t.co/wJH5kzeMad

@caththegreat012 Everyday I’m just waiting..like is today the day I get Covid? Back into my isolation I go.

[The Sentencing Project @SentencingProj]

Through a public database, law professor Andrea Armstrong is highlighting the human costs of America's carceral system. "If we believe that the lives of incarcerated people matter we have a legal & moral obligation to make these conditions less inhumane." https://t.co/h4BYg54d8W

[Glenn E. Martin 🐐 @glennEmartin]

My first non-profit job out of prison I made $16,000 annually & owed $83k in fines, fees, restitution & child support. I committed 20 more crimes to pay off that debt. Just keepin’ it real. Criminal justice debt is a gateway drug back to prison & government runs the trap house.

Big day of wins in court. Feelin real good for all the people that gained freedom today ✨

[Miranda @miranda_art_]

@ConnorColson Didn’t get into law school so I kept pursuing legislative writing & social work jobs and after 5 years of work finally made it into a public defenders office. Get to do law adjacent work but as a social worker with the PDs

[Haymarket Books @haymarketbooks]

We put together an Abolitionist Starter Kit: books by Angela Y. Davis, @prisonculture, @KeeangaYamahtta, @marclamonthill, and @HarshaWalia to help sharpen our analysis, ground our strategy, and deepen our commitment to collective liberation.
