Veterans incarcerated in a Tennessee private prison are hoping to form an American Legion post, and a living unit pod where they can all be housed together—but without luck so far. Filter spoke with six of them about their experiences.

The investigation should start with the fact that the heat has not been working. But that's not all that's wrong at this hellish place. CoreCivic is getting a lot of taxpayer money to run a failing facility. #EndCoreCivic #CoreCivicKills

“[A graveyard] shift captain knocked on my cell door around 2 am and yelled, ‘Cooper, your mom died. Call home in the morning.'"
Cooper's grief and anger might have consumed him, but for the friends he'd made at book club.

The American carceral system is purposely designed to increase recidivism as much as possible to keep its for-profit prisons full.

Many times, throughout the day, I forget that I am human.
After 27 years of confinement in a concrete box looking out a sliver of a window, it’s easy to forget.

Less than 20% of the incarcerated have visitors, yet they are moved far from their homes. Limiting visits with their children and costing the other parent $500 - $1,500 a month, depending on how often they visit. That doesn’t include costs of phone calls, emails and other ways children can communicate. #PublicSafety #Families

Hidden Consequences: The Impact of Incarceration on Dependent Children
Why isn’t the @FLSenate @myflhouse and @FL_Corrections encouraging visitation and having parents housed in prisons close to families? Let’s invest in our youth by investing in our families.
FS 944.8031 is not enough.

So many of you have asked what Jerry Clark needs when released Feb. 7th in Tennessee. I've listed a few things, in case you have some laying around:
Laptop, cell phone, toaster oven, dry food baskets, clothing gift cards. DM if interested.
Much gratitude

During my nearly 3 decades in prison, I've spent some time in solitary. Usually because of my activism for better prison policies. Wardens don't like that. Please read my story just out on @solitarywatch. Thanks to @EmpowermentAve
For their support.

I acquired a tomato today. Don't ask me how! I haven't seen one in years at this prison. I don't know whether to eat it like an apple, cut it to use on several meals, or share with a friend. I can't believe this stupid tomato has me in tears of anticipation & anxiety.
