@wflower2001 Colorado for the win. I am curous what policy they have in place.

@humanity4prison Just my opinion but it is an utter shame. ♡ Thank you for all you do for them. ♡

Eula has been incarcerated since 1971—longer than any other woman in Michigan. She is now 82 years old. Women at Huron Valley are calling for clemency and offering a path forward.

Like many states, Michigan relies heavily on supervision, where technical violations, not new crimes, can send people back to prison. #mileg prisonpolicy.org/reports/correc….

@wflower2001 That looks about right. On a positive note, since the medical parole bill was amended, I believe 13 or 14 have been released.

Our 9th Annual Unball is officially underway. More than 32,000 men and women are currently incarcerated in MI state prisons. Your support helps us meet urgent needs. This year, every gift is doubled. New donor gifts are quadrupled. Read more: form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/.../unball-2026

“This is life-saving work… You can never be thanked enough.” — HFP client To our volunteers: your work matters more than you know. #NationalVolunteerMonth

“Are we creating a perfect storm?” One incarcerated voice from Lakeland describes what happens when rehabilitation programs are stripped away while stress, isolation, and instability rise. Second chances require more than release—they require preparation. #SecondChanceMonth

“Second chances don’t start at the prison gate—they start inside.” - HFP client. When programming disappears, so does preparation. And without preparation, what kind of “second chance” are we really offering? #SecondChanceMonth #ReentryMatters

#MiLeg This affirms something we say every day: people are more than the worst thing they’ve done.

Education in prison is expanding in Michigan. In the EMU unit, 2 women need wheelchairs. There’s only 1. This was weeks after a report flagged the issue. They take turns. One has diabetes and gets priority for meals. How do you learn like this? #MILEG bridgemi.com/michigan-gover…

“I don’t have a clue about life out there anymore… but I’m going to try.” Messages like this remind us: support during reentry changes lives. Thank you to our team—and to those finding their way forward every day. #HumanityForPrisoners #Reentry

📣 West Michigan nonprofits: Grand Haven Community Impact Day is coming up May 13 (1–4 PM). Local orgs can submit project ideas and be matched with volunteer teams for hands-on support. A great opportunity to get meaningful help done. #CommunityImpactDay #WestMichigan #Nonprofits

“Education is one of the most effective anti-recidivism tools.” As Michigan looks at the FY27 budget, continued higher education in prison should be part of the conversation. It works. The data is clear. #MILEG #MDOC

Today in a Michigan Senate hearing, partners across the state testified on conditions inside prisons. “Staffing shortages remain a serious challenge…” — Citizens for Prison Reform These shortages are impacting people inside and their families every day. #MILEG #Michigan

Pt. 3 - The document I was required to sign clearly states paperwork copied is legible. I can just see this becoming an issue with severe consequences for inmates.”

Pt. 2 - I asked for those 20+/- pages to be copied over. The CO wanted to tell me that he could read most of it and would be able to figure out what it said. I told him that these documents are my freedom and I won't be taking chances on one word being mistaken!
