It’s always weird to me when ppl who have never been in the drug game talk about how dealers target and kill kids. Let me break it down for you - dead people don’t bring in money, kids don’t usually bring in money. You know who did bring me a lot of money? Doctors, attorneys,

**** URGENT ***** 3,000 people who are on home confinement, have reintegrated with their families & SUCCEEDING beyond our wildest dreams could be ORDERED BACK TO PRISON if the Senate passes a resolution (as early as tomorrow) Sign this petition, PLEASE: https://t.co/5yxPCIHfiY

We've worked hard to keep families together by bringing over 13,000 individuals home from prison through the CARES Act. But now, 3000+ face the risk of being sent back. This isn't just a setback;...
⚠️ 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

The most expensive prison EVER is set to be on a former mountaintop removal coal mine - furthering its literal toxicity. A new prison in coal country will devastate both the rural environment and the community surrounding it; especially the people of color locked inside.

Today, we celebrate significant milestones for the rights of incarcerated mothers and pregnant people in Oregon. @GovTinaKotek has just signed Oregon House Bill HB2535 offering a wealth of protections to parents in the system.

Hey Chicagoland, we've got a couple questions for you. Do you like live music? Do you like helping your community? If you answered yes to both of those, we think you might want to check out this Lollapalooza volunteer event application page 👀 https://t.co/Zm6v7HW1Hs

Certainty of punishment is a MUCH stronger deterrent signal than "length of punishment," so it a bit strange (since most people who commit serious crimes never get caught) that we keep investing exclusively in longer sentences as a response to crime
