One highlight of our federal Weeks of Action is to thank our Capitol Hill #CJR champions for their leadership and hard work! Appreciate a great conversation with the @BobbyScott team this morning. @KateTrammell @jamesjackerman @ChelseaFriske @Sammy1Perez @RiceMinus @abrashierlaw

Constructive prison environments set up both correctional staff and incarcerated men and women for success and flourishing. Thankful for our dialogue with @SenatorHagerty staff about the Federal Prison Oversight Act. #OversightNow @RightOnCrime @FaithandFreedom @ACUFforJustice

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Brave men and women in corrections are indispensable for public safety. Appreciate the discussion with @RepArrington staff and our Texas grassroots leaders on how external oversight can help federal prison officers thrive. #OversightNow @iDueProcess @NACDL @thedreamcorps

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Over 90 percent of federal prisoners will return to our communities, and their term of incarceration will significantly shape their reentry journey. Appreciate the chance to share with @SteveDaines staff on how external oversight can improve reentry outcomes. #OversightNow

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Correctional staff, incarcerated men and women, and their loved ones need your voice today! Join our advocacy for #OversightNow and safe, humane, and constructive prison conditions. https://t.co/IRztiEnYUw

Capitol Hill is extremely busy heading into August recess, and we're all the more grateful for offices committed to hearing from their constituents. Wonderful discussion with @SenToddYoung staff about how to better promote transformation in federal prisons. #OversightNow

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

So thankful for the wealth of reflection, thought, and experience our Justice Ambassadors bring to policy conversations. Enjoyed a very meaningful visit today with @RepFinstad staff on the Federal Prison Oversight Act. #OversightNow @FAMMFoundation @USJusticeAction @thedreamcorps

"This is how democracy works. Constituents sharing their expertise and concerns with lawmakers and their staff to get things done." Very kind, generous words from @SenAmyKlobuchar team in our conversation on #OversightNow @KateTrammell @RiceMinus @jamesjackerman @ChelseaFriske

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

People who live and work in prison are too often forgotten by the world. Our Georgia advocates were humbled by the opportunity to thank the @SenOssoff team for their fierce advocacy on the Federal Prison Oversight Act. #OversightNow @FAMMFoundation @NACDL @DreamJustice

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

A constructive, transparent, and effective federal prison system is vital for public safety. Glad for the chance for our Georgia volunteers to share their support for the Federal Prison Oversight Act with @SenatorWarnock. #OversightNow @RiceMinus @KateTrammell @jamesjackerman

Our Justice Ambassadors are up early, asking great questions, and sharpening their advocacy skills for #cjr! Grateful to serve alongside them! #OversightNow #JusticeThatRestores @valorvillage @ReentryDreams

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

We are so thankful for our Justice Ambassadors sharing their time, passion, and stories with decision makers on Capitol Hill. Appreciate a great visit with @timkaine staff on the Federal Prison Oversight Act. #OversightNow @FAMMFoundation @USJusticeAction @thedreamcorps

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Every government agency stands to benefit from greater daylight and transparency. Thankful for the opportunity to discuss Federal Prison Oversight Act with @RepDonDavis and our North Carolina partners! @FAMMFoundation @USJusticeAction @ndaajustice @RiceMinus @KateTrammell

Did you know there are over 16,000 legal barriers to obtaining an occupational license for people w/ a record to gain #employment? When we only look at someone’s history, we fail to see the whole person: not only their past choices, but their present life.

Safe, humane, and constructive prison conditions are key for public safety. We're humbled by our California volunteers sharing their support for the Federal Prison Oversight Act with excellent staff with @SenAlexPadilla. #OversightNow @FAMMFoundation @NACDL @USJusticeAction

[Sheena Beasley @Sdbeasley]

It's time to bring daylight into federal prisons! The new Federal Prison Oversight Act will promote safety and success for people who live and work behind bars. Ask your lawmakers to support more humane prison conditions: https://t.co/l87Qdxcy2n

Wonderful visit today with @SenatorLankford's excellent team. We appreciate the opportunity to share about the great work being done on reentry and justice in Oklahoma and opportunities to improve federal prison culture and conditions. #OversightNow @USJusticeAction @FAMM @AFPhq

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Our faith spurs us to remember those in prison. Grateful for our incredible California Justice Ambassadors sharing their heart for justice and human dignity with the @SenFeinstein team. #OversightNow @KateTrammell @ChelseaFriske @Sammy1Perez @RiceMinus @jamesjackerman

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

External review and reporting structures can help the federal prison system better live out its vital mission. Thankful for our constituent visit with excellent @repkevinhern staff about the Federal Prison Oversight Act #OversightNow @RightOnCrime @ACUFforJustice @FaithandFreedom

[Prison Fellowship Advocacy @JusticeReform]

Thankful for a wonderful meeting with @RepEdwards staff on the Federal Prison Oversight Act. We appreciate their thoughtful listening from our North Carolina advocates on the urgency of #OversightNow. @USJusticeAction @AFPhq @FAMMFoundation @thedreamcorps @ndaajustice
