Oklahoma First Lady Sarah Stitt talks with Laura and John Arnold before we arrive at a state prison. Among other things, we got to see a job fair for women preparing to leave custody. Mrs. Stitt walks the walk. #VisitAPrison

My colleague Matthew Charles in Jefferson City, MO this week advocating #SecondChances, #PrisonOversight, and #NoNewMandatories. He took time to #VisitAprison at Algoa with formerly incarcerated Bo Cornelius, who now runs a program in the same prison where he did time.

#visitaprison We are supposed to have the best justice system in the world. I used to believe that. In reality, our justice system is about making money, not rehabilitation. The incarcerated in Florida live in deplorable conditions. When will our leaders care?

#visitaprison #BeatTheHeat I implore our legislators to take action, & the media to investigate these horrible conditions. Besides the health issues, people get worn down, lose patience, and tempers flare. Is this what we want? I heard 2 guards passed out from yesterday's heat.

Florida: 24M people. 88K in state prison, 53K in county jails. With ~30 loved ones each, that’s 4.4M justice-impacted people—nearly 1 in 5 Floridians. That’s not a statistic. That’s your constituency. #VisitAPrison #BeatTheHeat

🔥 Florida’s heat index is soaring past 100°F statewide. For those locked in concrete cages with no A/C, it's more than discomfort. It’s torture. Extreme heat kills, and our silence lets it happen. Prisons aren’t exempt from basic humanity. #BeatTheHeat #VisitAPrison
