@KentuckyCIR Part of the difficulty of prison reform has to do with those in power and the possible impact on their pockets. Its called the prison industrial complex. Reforming criminal justice will put the profits of the powerful at risk. And the population is disproportionately dark people.

What kind of fear does legislation like this come from? And where in the past are its sponsors and supporters attempting to take us?

Vile, disgusting racism on grotesque display. Most Americans are descended from immigrants, presumably including this tweet’s author. Some people have sadly moved an awful long way from “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…”.

I’m sad to report the loss of Kennina Porter, an essential member of Team Kentucky who served as executive director for Everybody Counts. Kennina was helping more Kentucky youth fulfill their dreams and she will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. ^AB
