Have y’all gotten a chance to check out our marketplace that was created to support incarcerated artists?

At NOTY we also want to shed light on how a restorative justice model is a better approach than punitive actions we see daily. A thread 🧵⬇️

[Prison Policy Initiative @PrisonPolicy]

Over HALF (52%) of people arrested multiple times in an average year reported having a substance use disorder. Instead of pouring money into policing this population, we should be making treatment and healthcare accessible to all.

One of our writers did not know how to read or write when they entered TDCJ in 2010 and learned how to through resources provided by IBP. Books can have a profound impact on the lives of people behind bars.

[RailroadedUnderground @RailroadUnderg1]

People returning home from prison feel pressure from Parole, Probation, Transitional Homes, & even family to get jobs & work. If you really want to help, the first few months of a person’s release should be focused on healing from the most traumatizing experience of their lives.

Prison email systems are not free. It costs $10 + an almost $4 additional "fee" (the fee is 40% of the underlying cost!) to buy 60 stamps. Longer email? Extra stamp! Attach a picture? Extra stamp! With prison wages you have to work half an hour just to send one message.

The land was stolen from the Muscogee. Then, it was a slave plantation.

Now, the city of Atlanta want to develop it into a massive "Cop City."
