Great @TheCrimeReport write-up of our report on experiences of trauma & loss that occur after #5KeyModel participants leave prison & return home. Esp devastating for those rebuilding their lives & trying to meet the demands of the CJ system, service providers & their families.

Appreciate my friend @craigderoche advocating for transitioning people who are individually screened as being low risk to public safety. While recent findings on distancing & duration of exposure have facilitated safety in societal reopening, prisons are inherently vulnerable.

We simply do not have the human capacity to support the 12,000 individuals who leave prison each week. @ijrd_fsu harnesses technology to expand our data-driven solutions, connect to individuals in crisis, & train the next-gen #cjreform workforce. Donate at Day1Justice.org

While #MLKDay reminds us what leadership looks like, it should also remind us that Dr. King’s call was for everyone to do their part. “Everybody can be great, because anyone can serve.” Do something kind or brave for your fellow humans today. You too are called.

Honor his legacy by joining our fight for justice. Together, we can end mass incarceration & help individuals, families, and communities impacted by CJ system involvement to heal. #cjreform

Help us share our research findings to the advocates, professionals, and policymakers who can adopt them rather than limiting the communication of our findings to academic audiences. #cjreform SHARE ijrd.csw.fsu.edu/projects | DONATE Day1Justice.org

The #FairChanceAct passed the House! This leg. would give formerly incarcerated individuals the opportunity to present their talents & skills before sharing their criminal history when applying to federal agencies and contractor positions! On to the Senate! #SecondChances

Honoring all those who lost their lives on this dark day in 2001, and all the first responders who were there to answer the call. Remember whatever divides us, we're all in this together.

1) Prisons and jails aren’t “some other place” with “some other people.” They are a neighborhood right down the road with people who have families just like you and me. #prisonisacommunity #visitaprison
1) To start, how would you describe prison and/or jail to someone who has never visited? #VisitAPrison
Equitas retweeted
How often are you able to visit your family member in prison? What are the barriers to keeping in touch with them? What do you think is the most important thing we should know about this facility and how it operates?
Last: It is entirely counterproductive.
