Nebraska is building a new prison that does not replace NSP. It’ll stay open, too. It’s 2023; people are still cool with building plantations to house black people disproportionately. Not much has changed since 1619, and it’s both sides still!

Why do we vote to retain judges & not vote them in? Where’s the info about them & their decisions? Prisons are overcrowded, Douglas county built a kids jail, & the state wants a new prison. How can you hold them accountable? They don’t campaign or engage with the public?

Just a reminder that Nebraska is constructing a new prison set to be overcrowded day one, & it won’t replace the current state penitentiary. We often discuss funding, let’s not overlook the impact of failed prison & criminal justice policies on how our tax dollars are allocated.

We live in a society where a lot of people are okay with spending 40k+ per person on imprisonment rather than 40k+ per person on prevention & economic investment in high poverty communities. Also spending 230m+ on a building instead of 230m+ on prevention & economic development!

One day we’ll realize that giving a $160+ million to the police and only devoting $20 million to community is an issue. Over policing and being tough on crime doesn’t work and has never worked. Our people just keep dying or going to the pen. We have a role to play as well…

I can’t think of anyone that I’ve known that’s been indicted and afforded the luxury to turn themselves in whenever.. instead OPD commenced raids and public humiliation especially in front young kids with no cares in the world but that’s our injustice system where’s Jake Gardner?

I understand Ernie more everyday. Being black in politics you are misunderstood while having to push back against liberal white America who thinks you’re supposed to agree with everything & not have an opinion. While your community continues to have the worst outcomes.

A water main breaking doesn’t justify a new prison and not keeping up maintenance doesn’t either, invest in people and keep up the maintenance that you have money for!

A waste of money, the root causes have been unaddressed so common sense would tell you this problem would happen. Nebraska loves building jails and prisons to avoid solving the core issues!
Built to hold up to 64 young people, Douglas County's new downtown juvenile detention center will open next summer. But will it be large enough? Last week, 89 youths were in the current center.

New plantation announced on my bday, perfect timing. Not a replacement—decommissioned ≠ closed, just adjusting capacity. People still will be housed there. More tax $ for incarceration, not rehab or corrections no sentencing reforms considered either y’all don’t care though!

It’s funny how people care about the economic vitality of the state now because of possible Covid-19 mandates but over look the fact that north omaha has been neglected economically with no real intentional efforts from the state, county, and city. Who cares or cared about us?…

Omaha Housing Authority is planning to get rid of youth football for approx: 100 kids in our community. During a time when our county and state is proposing a youth jail and prison. Reach out to OHA to express your feelings. 100 youth not on the field = 100 youth in the streets!

Everything is unconstitutional I guess except for a new prison that will be over crowded day 1. Laws that try to address the issues can’t pass or when passed get challenged. Our criminal justice system has a negative ROI, not fiscally responsible, and are inhumane.

The response to Sha’Carri is why many from our community don’t speak on their trauma and mental health. She didn’t make any excuses but her story has more context and deserved more than saying she dumb and etc. Also whether you use or not cannabis, weed, and etc should be legal.

If being tough on crime and building jails/prisons solved anything. Then our society would be different and we wouldn’t need to talk about building more and etc. We need to end poverty and address historical traumas. Solutions that have yet to be tried with any real intentions.
