But the metrics the IG uses are all input metrics that do not measure the cost- saving results. MA has lowest incarceration rate and second lowest crime rate in USA

[Randy Gioia @randygioia]

MA IG report on indigent defense is flawed. Agreed that indigent defense systems are a use of public dollars and should protect citizens who must rely on assigned counsel to protect their freedom, “while appropriately protecting the expenditure of public dollars”

[Randy Gioia @randygioia]

The money Massachusetts spends on the front end for high quality defense saves money on the back end - less people in prison means lower cost. It’s not expensive - it’s cost effective. It makes Massachusetts a safer place to live.

Massachusetts has the lowest per capita incarceration rate in the US and one of the lowest overall crime rate per capita in the country. The reason? Mass has a high quality public defender system.

#PublicDefenders
provide high value and contribute to public safety: they prevent wrongful convictions, uncover police misconduct and shine a light on racial injustice. It is difficult unrewarding work. We need public defenders and they need to be justly paid.

[Clause 40 Foundation @clause40]

On #PublicDefenseDay and on the 62nd anniversary of the Gideon v. Wainwright decision, we celebrate public defenders for their commitment to constitutional defense.

In order to achieve a fair adversarial legal system, their essential work demands more equitable funding.

NEWS: President Biden has commuted death sentences for 37 of the 40 men on federal death row. They will now serve life sentences and cannot be executed. This is a milestone in the fight to shut down the death penalty — thank you! https://t.co/zonRvQmNDr

@kevin_b_b6 Sounds great. What are your cites to academic articles and studies and examples that show that tariffs and no income tax can work to make everyone happy? Has this economic theory ever worked at any time in history?

"The medical establishment and the law have yet to catch up with the science. At best, shaken baby syndrome is rare yet remarkably overdiagnosed," writes Dr. Jeffrey A. Singer, senior fellow at the @CatoInstitute. https://t.co/bel1Ejyovp

Our latest study of 33 cities shows that bail reform is not linked to increases in crime.

If Kamala Harris and Tim Walz WIN the election, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, a fellow Democrat, would become Minnesota’s next governor.

She would be the first female governor in Minnesota and the first Native American woman to serve as governor in the country.

via @NYTimes Abe Krash knew the irreducible core of the right to counsel: “You need to have a competent lawyer, one that has to be provided adequate funds to retain experts and investigators to conduct an adequate defense.” #publicdefenders https://t.co/5375PsXbH4

Hard working, dedicated public defenders also contribute to public safety and lower crime rates. ⁦@CPCSnews⁩ ⁦@wutrain⁩ ⁦@maura_healey⁩
