Currently, Council is only permitted to broadcast two hearings per day with OCTO. Hence, as this was scheduled late, the roundtable is only available on our Facebook page.
As indicated by Katerina Semyonova of @pdsdc, the best way to protect the residents of DC from the violence of DOC is to stop their incarceration in the first place #FreeThemAll

90 people were moved out of state yesterday. No other movement is planned for transfers outside of 40 today. They currently plan to move everyone back to DC from where they were transferred. #freethemall#nonewjails
