Salute to @GovEvers just issued 204 more pardons over 1,600 total! We expect the next governor to keep this going and bring bold justice reforms that restore, rebuild, and reduce the footprint of mass incarceration. Wisconsin can’t stay an outlier. #SecondChances#PardonsMatter
“Those closest to the problem are closest to the solution...but furthest from power.”

Starting over is hard, but starting over after 13 years in prison for a crime you didn’t commit is impossible without support. C.J. Rice has a second chance at life and needs your help.
If you can afford to donate, C.J. would appreciate your help at this GoFundMe co-sponsored by @jaketapper. https://t.co/JA7FgPjqdY
⚠️ TOMORROW, the Senate could vote to send thousands in home confinement back to federal prison.
This is not only unfair and unjust, but it's a bad idea. Data shows that home confinement dramatically reduces recidivism & more. Tell @WhiteHouse to VETO ❌ https://t.co/iLZpFhqvM9
Today, I am so happy to share my talk with @seankemet82 Organizing Director of @DreamJustice to discuss his vision to radically reimagine the criminal legal system and what justice looks like after 17 years of incarceration.

Please RT.
When the president of the largest progressive social justice foundation in the world quotes you, but doesn’t give a Black formelry incarcerated man credit for his intellectual property.
Fail: @FordFoundation. 👎🏾
All incarcerated individuals should have access to higher education as it contributes to reducing recidivism and prepares them for life after #incarceration.
Congrats to the 25 Wisconsin incarcerated ppl who received their college degrees last week 🎓

Last February, we looked at early studies of a dog's keen sense of smell detecting positive cases of #COVID19 in our Each Breath Blog. Nearly a year later, we're glad to see our furry friends in action, assisting in the fight against the pandemic!

A long list of misconduct by prison staff, poor working conditions, and more happened under BOP director Michael Carvajal. Now is the chance for a leader who cares about reforming the institution to step in.

The federal penitentiary at the Allenwood Correctional Complex has 143 inmates who have tested positive for COVID-19, more than any other facility operated by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons. https://t.co/7FzUlvev18
It's truly disappointing when, after more than 20 years, and attempts to REDEPOSIT into my community, I can be BANKRUPTED by a felony conviction.

.@DreamJustice is in Iowa w/ its community leaders to help #PassTheEqualAct. The unfair sentencing discrepancy b/t crack & cocaine greatly affects Iowans, but it affects Americans across the nation too. Let’s lift the voices of those impacted & end this injustice once & for all.
