It’s such an honor to be invited as a Commissioner to this Women’s Justice Commission. Finally some heavy hitting attention and ACTION to the over-incarceration of women. #GenderMatters

I’m a big fan of VGK having relocated to SLC from Vegas, but the Las Vegas Aces WNBA team was the first major sports championship in Vegas in 2022. The Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup in 2023. Let’s not forget Women’s sports please! @bellefraser1 #everyonewatcheswomenssports

Incredible! I’ve trained a lot of POs in my time, but I distinctly remember training Angel on the WRNA a few years ago because she was so stellar! @gcu @maricopacounty news.gcu.edu/gcu-news/after-…

It was a real pleasure to hear @JohnLeverso speak about his research on how gangs utilize social media and its relationship to violence. Our team @utahcrimjustice brought him in as our keynote for a statewide juvenile justice conference and we couldn’t be happier!

In defense of hope.

'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.'

Watching my husband go through a PhD program reminds me how much we brutalize students in the name of “learning”. The pain and suffering is so unnecessary and heartbreaking to all, including the partners and family members in supportive roles. All it does is breed resentment.

Melissa McKee walked out of prison 7 years to the day of giving her graduation speech for her Masters degree from @EvergreenStCol. This is a leader to watch in criminal justice reform, and currently is crushing it at @CSGJC

How is ‘justice’ executing a human for whom there is DNA evidence proving innocence? Mercy. We must do better. Be better. Please act now - see the original post for ways you can help!

"To date, no court has ever reviewed the DNA evidence proving [Marcellus Williams' innocence]. Yet, the State successfully sought an execution date, highlighting the system’s emphasis on finality over innocence. That is not justice," wrote his lawyers. innocenceproject.org/stop-th…
