I am amazed at this country who brags about its Christian like morals and values but treats humans worse than animals. Animals are protected by cruelty laws, yet the incarcerated are not. And even worse people will say the incarcerated deserve to be treated that way.

“I could dictate charges and sentences. I could punish harder if they decided to go to trial. The pendulum has swung so far that we really don't have a system where someone is presumed innocent" - @tolmanbrett

On this day in 2010, EJI defended Demarious Banyard, a young boy sentenced to life in prison without parole at just thirteen years old. To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. Share this #racialinjustice calendar.eji.org/racial-inju…

Important post reiterating that we as movement should not be perpetuating the “violent” vs. “nonviolent” distinction of a racist, classist system that inflicts disproportionate harm in the name of the state.

A Thread: There are many people, including ourselves, calling for the release of people across the nation. We support these calls, but as we share these petitions, we also ask that you refrain from including 'non-violent' offender in the posts or captions. #LetThemGo #FreeThemAll

Sound judgement out of Colorado.

The SOR: A state/publicly funded hit list. Used to harm and discriminate against people who already served their punishment. It's a continued punishment and a way to shame and discriminate against a specific group of people. @CFRJustice

Omaha man killed by vigilant who found him on the public sex offender registry.
Despite being held accountable for a crime 13 years ago, this man was murdered as a result of being found on the State's government sponsored hit list.

@GovNedLamont just characterized the handling of CT prisons as “so far, so good.” I’m sorry, sir but that is a bit of a mischaracterization based on the information and data coming from inside.
