"For those four hours, I am just a son who is spending time with his parents. Something so simple can radically change a person’s outlook in prison. Everyone deserves to feel loved and cared about," writer Ryan Douglas on "The Power of a Prison Visit."

Please, @GovParsonMO #SaveMarcellus. This execution would be an ultimate and irreversible miscarriage of justice.
With so little time until #MarcellusWilliams is set to be executed tomorrow, Sept. 24th at 6 p.m., our best tool is our voice. We must make as much noise as possible in these final hours, as public pressure can make all the difference in the moments leading up to an execution.

When people show you who they are...believe them the first time. And if they're harmful, tell everyone you know.

NEW investigation from @theappeal's @elizabethweill @EthanSCorey shows that across the US, private companies and state corrections' departments are exploiting people that they know can't pay commissary markups (or fight them). What's worse is...(1/4)🧵👇🏾

The Appeal's 9-month investigation uncovered prison commissaries’ exploitative, inconsistent systems with inside prices up to five times higher than in the community and markups as high as 600...

President of @NAACPNYS, Dr Hazel Dukes, has weighed in on free prison calls. “I would be remiss not to urge your support for a policy that would bring tremendous financial relief and healing to Black families.” @GovKathyHochul @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie where do you stand?

Right now, families are paying over $20m/yr to stay connected to loved ones incarcerated in NY’s prisons. The NYS Assembly and Senate have prioritized free communication to keep families connected and relieve this financial burden. Will @GovKathyHochul deliver? Does she care?

FFJC's @MsAntonyaJ & @WorthRises just hand-delivered 6,000+ signatures calling on @GovKathyHochul to make prison communications free. No one should be driven into debt b/c they want to talk to their loved ones. Time to end this cruel practice & keep families connected! 👨👩👧👦❤️🙌🏾

Today, with our partners are @FinesandFeesJC, we delivered over 6,000 signatures on a petition calling for free prison communication in NY to the Governor. @GovKathyHochul, we’re asking again, can the women of NY count on you to include free prison calls in the budget?

Connection is a BIG part of successful re-entry and reducing recidivism rates. The ability to stay in touch with loved ones serving their sentence increases community safety. The state should follow New York City's example and provide for free phone calls statewide.
THREAD. Free prison communication is always debated as a criminal justice policy, but the truth is that it's so much more. Costly prison communication has a massive impact on society at large, lifting these costs will too. @GovKathyHochul the time is now for New York.

The time to end prison communication fees is now. Please include $$ in the budget to make communication free to incarcerated NYers and their loved ones. The Assembly and Senate Agree, @GovKathyHochul act now! cc: @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie
