Breaking: The Banner has learned that a 35-year-old Dundalk man died while being detained at Central Booking on Sunday, but corrections department officials have released few details.
The man's brother says his family is trying to figure out what happened.

Years ago, Md. officials turned to a law firm known for defending Deep South prison systems to help get out of a legal battle with the ACLU over Baltimore jails. Nearly $800,000 later, the results haven't been great, and 2 of the attys on the case just admitted to using ChatGPT.

SB 1507 passed overwhelmingly! Brings independent oversight to Dept of Corrections, an important step to bring accountability to a $1 billion Dept. that has caused much needless suffering and death over the years. Thx @FAMMFoundation, @thedreamcorps, @AtacOrg for your advocacy.

On International Women’s Day, we call for an end to torture, ill-treatment, and all forms of abuse against women and girls, particularly in places of detention and closed institutions. Their rights and dignity must not be ignored any longer.

North Carolina's Governor Roy Cooper commutes the death sentences of 15 men. With President Biden's 37 federal commutations, 2024 ends with more than twice the number of death sentence commutations (52) than executions (25). governor.nc.gov/news/press-r…

If prisoners encounter conditions that are "inhumane, unhealthy, dangerous, or even lethal," @DavidCFathi argued, "that should be enough to violate the Eighth Amendment — you shouldn't have to go looking for someone who was thinking bad thoughts.”
