On Aug. 5, Humanity for Prisoners joined partners from @NationOutside, Reentry United, The Hidden Nation, and Next Chapter Solutions at a Reentry United event at the Newberry Correctional Facility. Grateful for the opportunity to connect and support second chances. We were also pleased to welcome MDOC Director Heidi Washington to the HFP resource table. #Reentry #SecondChances

While right-wing media continues to attack me for being gainfully employed after spending 12 years in prison, I want to take the opportunity to share some of the amazing work I’ve done because, for some strange reason, they keep failing to mention it. This is a 🧵.

"The state's COVID-19 case rate inside its prisons as of Wednesday is 893 per 1,000 inmates, nearly nine times higher than the infection rate for other Michigan residents"
This is why the corrections union had a vote of no confidence in the MDOC director

Incarceration does not make our communities safer. In fact, it perpetuates the very cycles of violence it claims to prevent. Look at what’s happening right now at Women’s Huron Valley Prison!!

@GovWhitmer Prison is not a place for #Covid19, fostering conditions for abuse & neglect in overcrowded prisons, these problems are exacerbated and the conditions become unsafe and difficult for the people who are caged and the staff who are responsible to them. #LetMiPeopleGo

Education is transformative. Research shows that people who participate in college-in-prison programs improve their lives & their communities, & save taxpayers money.
