Our statement on the FCI-Dublin closure. We demand our people be released from BOP custody AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! We will not let BOP evade accountability & disappear the people detained at Dublin & the support systems they've courageously built. 🔗 https://t.co/8lFxyetAes

I am so proud to represent our strong and brave client, Mikayla Savage, as she calls attention to all the horrors in the Harris County Jail @RightsBehind

[Michael Barajas @michaelsbarajas]

Some incredibly disturbing allegations against TX’s largest jail system in a lawsuit filed yesterday by a young woman who entered lockup pregnant in 2022 and says she miscarried after neglect and assault behind bars https://t.co/nKZTe4EjHA

We need incarcerated activists like Rashid Johnson, and we must protect their right to speak out about abuses behind bars. Read more: https://t.co/AoD75iBd54

I'm proud to be able to stand behind Rashid as he fights for his life and his First Amendment rights to speak out against the VA Department of Corrections' abuses

TODAY: RBB filed emergency litigation on behalf of Rashid Johnson, who has been on hunger strike for 41 days in protest of Virginia's use of solitary confinement.

The violence our client has suffered is unconscionable and all too common in Georgia and across the country. Incarcerated trans people deserve safety, dignity, and access to medically necessary healthcare.

A devastating and deeply human must-read

[Promise of Justice Initiative @JusticesPromise]

BREAKING: Along with @rightsbehind, we’re suing the DOC to end its generations-long tradition of forcing incarcerated men—primarily Black men—to hand-cultivate plantation crops, without safety equipment, in extreme heat and humidity, and under threat of serious harm.

@equalityAlec ADOC has locked Mr. Shaw away in suicide watch (he's not suicidal) to keep hiding this situation and Mr. Shaw's message from the media and the public. The lack of transparency and accountability here is shocking!

And on TikTok. This is not some one-off situation. It is the most profound and systemic collapse of a prison system in contemporary times, and a devastating indictment of Alabama's strategy of expanding imprisonment with lucrative contracts: https://t.co/P7rZMvZeF1

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

People must pay urgent attention to what is happening in the Alabama prison system. The only way to address the unprecedented corruption and widespread death is to bring many many people home now. Here are a few resources to learn more: https://t.co/TOW8KIIhVu

Watch Alabama leverage this to further justify @GovernorKayIvey's billion dollar mega-prison plan. They don't care about people in prison suffering abuse, neglect or cruelty. But they damn sure care about getting embarrassed. My question: how did a gun get inside the prison?

[Rights Behind Bars @RightsBehind]

"So far this year there have been approximately 110 people who have died in ADOC facilities. That number is likely an undercount and also does not contend with the consistent incidents of violence that happen in prison facilities that do not end in death."

✊🏻 solidarity with all inside. ADOC, we're watching.

Wearing a prison guard's uniform, an incarcerated Alabama man spoke out on white supremacy, prison conditions that he said led to "security incident." Watch the video & read the story. https://t.co/eeMK8btKvo

No one is safe inside. This man had a firearm. How? Alabama’s elected leaders owe us all an explanation, including and especially ppl who are incarcerated in these violent, deadly prisons. #alpolitics
