Your daily reminder:

Jail & prison does not deter crime.
Jail & prison is criminogenic.
Jail & prison increases recidivism.
Jail & prison is violent.
Jail & prison creates violence.
Jail & prison decreases public safety.

Invest in community health to prevent harm.

Your end-of-year reminder that you’re a reader whether you read 300 or 3 books this year. And also whether you read audiobooks or print books or ebooks. And also whether you read romantasy or historical fiction or horror or literary fiction. You’re a reader and we love you 🫶

@menwritewomen Any time I’m going from one place to another, I can tell to the minute when I will arrive at my destination.

I can also forever remember sequences of numbers — card numbers, birthdays, lots of digits of Pi I had to learn for a song in 8th grade

[Snow❄️ @reddd_snow]

@Ry_Gunn013 Yes!! We love to see it! This is you saving someone’s life and family, not moving money around.

[Snow❄️ @reddd_snow]

Not only is this very wrong but it also completely overlooks the fact that most criminal cases don’t go to trial. It takes specific skill, negotiation, advocacy, and lawyering to protect our clients’ lives and liberty. Our everyday work impacts our clients’ lives in many ways.

@ObiWine_Kenobi Hot take:

BigLaw lawyers stress b/c what they do can, and often does, affect the outcome.

The stakes feel high for PDs; but most criminal trials would probably go the same way whether the D was represented by the very best PD or just someone at replacement-level.

Today was a hard public defender day. I’m gonna get up and fight again tomorrow, but tonight I’m gonna cry.

Don’t worry! If your Thanksgiving dinner conversation turns from pie to prisons, or from cranberries to crime, we’ve got you covered.

We pulled together some of the false claims you’re likely to hear at the dinner table and the data to help you push back. 🧵

[Law Goblin @lyssamy]

Every day in a public defender's office is having to solve a problem you've never had under immense time pressure when someone's life is on the line and then you only ever solve like 50% of the problem

[Snow❄️ @reddd_snow]

Ending this terrible week on the best high note — hugging my crying client after we got all his gun charges dismissed!!!! 🎉
