The overall high belief in redeemability & Black redeemability suggest policies that aim to facilitate rehabilitation, successful reentry, & redemption, would be in line with widespread public beliefs about justice-involved people. Read the article here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/shar…

Certain people on my feed should maybe pause tweeting and consider this for a moment.
Today, as yesterday, those of us in more advantaged positions can endeavor to be good friends, supporters, and allies for those of us in more vulnerable positions.

I feel incredibly grateful to have been invited to participate in this workshop. I learned so much from the scholars and practitioners who are doing important work in this area. Thank you @NCITE_COE!
Today, NCITE welcomed a group of academics and practitioners to Omaha to help solve a complicated problem: How best to manage formerly incarcerated extremists after their release from prison.

This week, millions across the US are under a sweltering heat dome. Heat waves are especially deadly for incarcerated people, as prisons are not equipped to handle these environmental emergencies – which will only get worse because of climate change. prisonpolicy.org/blog/2023/0…

To end mass incarceration, we'll need to undo the policies that make formerly incarcerated second-class citizens. To learn more about reentry and recidivism, check out our resources here: prisonpolicy.org/research/re…

Look yawl, we all make mistakes. Sometimes it's a big one, sometimes it's just a listserve one. Leon, your book looks amazing. A few angry people who don't understand that replying all to a listserve won't make it go away doesn't change that. Congrats on the book.
