Excellent information on how Governors @ByronDonalds can improve prison conditions.

"In prison, the health conditions that typically define someone as “elderly” begin at 55... a full decade before most outside of prison begin to meet this definition"
Mass incarceration is a public health crisis.

Prison food isn't just gross-looking. It's extremely unhealthy and costly for incarcerated people and their families 🧵

It is heartbreaking that people have to endure such extreem temperatures, especially the elderly. Many men and women are in walkers in prison and to have to endure the heat like this too seems cruel especially as they are no longer a risk to public safety.
Friends of incarcerated people worry and hope the heat mitigation measures are helping. My friend recently sent this message to me in reference to the heat, "The days have been brutal." @FL_Corrections @florida-cares @RalphMassullo @JJGrowFL @SenatorMcClain @YvonneHinsonFL
This is exactly why Florida should stop executing people every 2 weeks. propublica.org/article/louis…

🌡️ No one deserves to suffer in extreme heat, especially those who are incarcerated. It's time to take action and demand #HumaneTemperaturesForAll.
Join our cause and help us create a better future for incarcerated individuals. Together, we can make a difference.
Public safety should include peace of mind for families who lie awake wondering whether their incarcerated loved one is safe from extreme heat in Florida’s non-air conditioned prisons-Their sentence should not become a family’s death sentence #beattheheat #heatwave #summerready
Chill out if it’s hot out! Go to places like the mall, a library, or find the nearest cooling center if you can’t cool down at home. Make sure you drink plenty of water and watch for signs of heat-illness. More tips⤵️

A blistering reminder that only 5 U.S. states provide air conditioning in all prison units.
And states like Texas and Florida, known for sweltering heat, are not among them:

This is why Florida needs to release those over 55 who have served a long sentence already and demonstrate they are no longer a risk to public safety. It is much more expensive to incarcerate people over 55.

Yes very much appreciate @FL_Corrections for this change. This will be a big help in keeping incarcerated people informed on rules that affect them.
Florida Cares commends @FL_Corrections and Secretary Commerford for proposing a change to Rule 33-102.201 that will provide incarcerated individuals with electronic notification of rule changes. A positive step toward greater transparency and access to information. #transparency

A justice system should be measured by outcomes.
Recidivism is one of the clearest indicators of whether accountability, rehabilitation, and reentry are working together to reduce crime. When people successfully reintegrate into society, communities become safer. When they return to crime, everyone bears the cost 👇

Older adults who have ever been behind bars are expected to live nearly 6 fewer years than similar peers who have never been incarcerated.
Mass incarceration is shaving years off people's lives:

Florida should follow Vermont’s lead on this.
After years of stifling heat, Vermont invests nearly $10.5 million in prison air conditioning (via @statesnewsroom)

Texas became a model for criminal justice because it proved something important: that you can reduce prison populations, invest in rehabilitation, and improve public safety at the same time 👏 @tolmanbrett

There is no evidence that mandatory minimums reduce crime or increase community safety, but they do create racial disparities in sentencing.
