Dehumanizing the incarcerated is not a representation of who they are. It is a representation of who you are!

A client today w/ 25 to life & only 3 years in thanked me for visiting & said I wish I could give you a hug & it just broke my heart in any other scenario I would have hugged him. Every human is deserving of humanity & I just wish we had a world where all people believed that.

I have an incarcerated client that is young twenties. I sent 5 stamped envelopes to return paperwork. He really put one piece of paper in each envelope 😂

Politics in this moment is not about a difference in beliefs. It is a fundamental difference in true humanity.

New study by The Sentencing Project reveals a worrying trend of rising prison populations in the U.S., despite falling crime rates. The report urges for reduced sentence lengths and a shift towards community-based safety measures. #massincarceration, #sentencingreform, #crimeandpunishment, #prisonpopulation, #justicepolicy davisvanguard.org/2025/11/se…

Reminder this Veterans Day: While comprehensive data on the relationship between military service & incarceration is not available, one thing is clear - The U.S. has left many veterans behind & does not provide enough support for one of the most vulnerable populations. 🧵

So much to say but instead I will just say that when doing this work retraumatizing people & not causing further harm is a must and those in power far too often keep listening to the loudest voices vs those silently doing the work day in and day out kvpr.org/government-politics…

16… 3 decades… “ I was found suitable” it’s moments like this that fill my heart with such joy for my clients & their love ones. To anyone who has an incarcerated love one never give up hope!

Tomorrow an incarcerated individual with a life sentence due to enhancements gets to see & hug his mother for the first time in over two decades. It’s hard not to feel both sadness & happiness at the same time.

Not so fun fact: The most banned book in US prisons is… a cookbook😐 This week is Prison Banned Books Week – the system’s attack on books is sinister, to say the least, and emerging technology, like tablets, is not helping. Here’s what you should know: prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/0…
