Thrilled to get to include stories directly from incarcerated women in 2nd edition of Corrections 360! Their unique perspective is often missing and they deserve to be heard. Check out their contributions in the new edition of Corrections 360 at https://t.co/ASwPO0Dxfw

Punishing people for being unhoused is not only unconstitutional, it’s counterproductive and only keeps people in poverty.

Housing — not handcuffs — ends homelessness. https://t.co/MhomnEMguX

Got such a nice review of my Corrections 360 textbook, I had to share: "Your book is great.  I don’t know how you did it, but you made a book on Corrections have a sense of fun to it. It is very well organized and engaging.  It also has a fine sense of pace that draws you in...🧵

I sometimes dream of life outside these prison walls. Waking up is always disappointing. That's the reality I created, no one else is to blame. But there are many people to blame for the current inhumane treatment perpetuated on the incarcerated.
My bad doesn't excuse their bad

@FAMMFoundation challenges lawmakers to visit prisons so they can see firsthand the issues needing their attention. I think this is a good example. Ask your legislators to visit prisons in your state.

@F0Q_CDCR you posted a response to me months ago about writing essays for parole board and picking out some to share. My friend wants to know if you have more specific advice on that. He is innocent and PB wants to hear about his remorse. Keeps getting flopped 2 yrs at a time.
