The Department of Justice has opened up an investigation into the operations of Trousdale Turner, the largest prison in Tennessee with the highest homicide rate of any prison in the country. Contact the DOJ & Bill Lee to let them know! #corecivickills abolitionworkstn.org/post/departmen…

Case in point: we just joined in putting Federal Bureau of Prisons on notice of legal consequences, under the National Environmental Policy Act, if it follows thru with constructing a $500 million federal prison on a former mountaintop removal mine site in Letcher County, KY.
Vera Institute of Justice@verainstitute

Incarcerated people are more likely to be exposed to environmental harm than the overall population. Why? Prisons are often built in the most undesirable locations to cut costs—an unjust practice that puts incarcerated people's health at risk. vera.org/news/building-…

The US isn't just home to the world's most incarcerated people. It’s also home to the world's most *formerly* incarcerated people—who are 10 times more likely to be homeless. We can't end the housing crisis until we repair the harms of mass incarceration. nextcity.org/urbanist-news/…

Police violence is a systemic problem in the US – and it happens on a scale far greater than other wealthy nations. Is this how police in the land of the free should treat citizens?

The program does not operate past 1am and is not employed if the person has anything deemed a weapon which tells me the purpose of this program is not to protect vulnerable people. Perhaps the purpose is more to deflect from calls to redefine policing outside of cops alone.

It is profoundly disturbing to me that we are not having a real conversation about how to respond to these kinds of calls. It's like we're ok with killing people because they aren't presenting in the "right" way. We can do better than this.

It should go without saying that incarcerated people shouldn’t be forced to labor, especially under unsafe conditions. Notably, those forced to labor at Angola are paid just pennies, if anything at all. This is why we fight to #EndTheException.
Worth Rises@WorthRises

A federal judge has sided with incarcerated people at Angola, finding that the prison doesn’t provide safe conditions for those who are forced to labor in the fields in scorching heat. wbrz.com/news/federal-j…

In the same week that the Supreme Court ruled unhoused people can be arrested & punished for sleeping outside, they ruled that the President of the United States can assassinate a political rival without arrest or punishment. This Court is obsessed with power & violence.

"Community-based changes, like free electrical and plumbing repairs for low-income homeowners, have been credited with decreasing crime rates. Higher poverty levels and economic stress are correlated with higher rates of firearm homicides and suicides," according to the CDC.

These community activists are right – building bigger prisons & jails will not stop the harm of mass incarceration. If lawmakers want to protect people from abuse behind bars, here's a simple place to start: decarcerate. prismreports.org/2024/07/01/sta…
