NEW study w/ revelatory, important & utterly predictable findings:
White people were more likely to benefit from mass decarceration during COVID-19 and rates of Black people incarcerated increased in EVERY single state.
Beautiful 🧵 explicating possible mechanisms
NEW: Since Mar '20, the state prison population fell by at least 16%—the largest drop in US history
Yet at the same time, the relative number of incarcerated Black people sharply increased

🧵
Our @theNASEM report cautioned agst the amplification of racial injustices as CJ systems decarcerated & we recommended explicit efforts to collect race/ethnicity data in order to monitor and intervene on disparate impacts of decarceration nap.edu/resource/25945/inter…
@WesternBruce
But, as shown here, getting quality race/ethnicity data on decarceration from PDs, courts, prisons was nearly impossible. It's meant to be hidden from public view. Without investment in CJS data infrastructure & transparency, racial injustices persist.
🙏🏾@elizabhinton & team!!
Come join us!!

Decarceration is urgently needed but we can't just reduce the number of people in prisons & jails without also making investments in healthcare, education & employment. New paper from @ewang422 @_LauraHawks @pugleesa & @EvieLopoo squareonejustice.org/paper/a…

To honor Jerry's life and all he meant, I'm fundraising with @SEICHE_Yale for his son. To "show off" Jerry's skills as an educator, we will be doing knuckle push-ups. For every $10 dollars donated, I'll do a push up and promise to post a video of it: gofundme.com/f/educational-f…
