Nurses for Social Justice

Nonprofit dedicated to helping public defenders fight for equal and zealous defense. Medical CLEs, unbiased experts, medical record reviews.

[Renate Lunn @RJLunn]

Powerful OpEd from a nurse who regularly reviews medical records of people in jail.

“medical care at Rikers is not adequate…Chronic diseases are taking hold. Acute illnesses are disabling people. People are dying. The damage is real, lasting, and generational.”

We couldn’t do this work without two amazing nurses: Tristan Wristen at TW Forensic Consulting and Rebecca Hayslett at LNC3 as well as our generous donors! Thank you so so much.

Editorial help from Rachel Lyon and Elijah Miller.

@AlexLDeLuca Higher floor. Ha. Do they have electricity? Water? Food? For how long?!

Any info on the people incarcerated at Lee County Jail in Florida? They are in a mandatory evacuation zone and we’re NOT evacuated before hurricane Ian hit.

Getting started: We are rallying with @JailsAction @NYCAIC and others before a meeting of the jails oversight body. NYC jails killed 13 people this year & 29 people since 2021. Officials must release people, stop sending people to these deadly jails, end solitary, & close Rikers.

A little behind the scenes… our ED was at the @NACDL conference and had a #CLE scheduled with the ever inspiring Tristan Wristen (Linktree in Bio) so…

Presented a #CLE using a hotel ironing board as my height-adjustable desk this morning. That’s a first. Also, I really miss the #RV and in-person presenting. #publicdefendersrock #nurselife #nonprofitlife #justice #notguilty

📢NEW from @edwin01santana: "Both #Rikers and the Boat are filled with people who have been failed by our social safety net, who are then subjected to conditions that no human being should have to endure. It’s time to put them out of existence."

We've survived the pandemic on grassroots fundraising but we need more help. PLEASE do what you can. We keep people out of prison. We level the playing field before, during and after trial. We save lives.

We know Bezos/Amazon is a nightmare and that *some* of us use it daily. Offset your guilt: make @Nurses4scljstc your AmazonSmile charity on your desktop/mobile app & bookmark it. #nurselife #nonprofitlife #publicdefender #abolition #nurse #medtwitter #lawtwitter #peoplenotprisons

@ProfMDaily @DestinyASingh ...and gets an expert medical witness if even ONE word about medical or mental health is uttered, plus coffee.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Not linking to the article, but @washingtonpost called Will Smith a "thug" this morning. Outrageous, racist, unacceptable. Call on them with me to take this down, apologize, & set forth clear processes to ensure this doesn't continue to happen.

@oldnanners CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Bottle that feeling!

[Center for Justice Innovation @innovjustice]

BREAKING: @dataforjustice has first estimates of NY Gov. Hochul's proposed changes to bail: in NYC, a 5% projected increase in the number of cases where bail is set (leading to possible detention); impact expected to be larger in rest of state. https://t.co/JvmlGELPrH
