The moment is now. We are calling on all those with lived experience-the subject matter experts to participate in the creation of a nee era of college in prison. One in which education in reentry is supported!
🗣️We need your voice! "We need as many people as possible to identify what is needed in reentry and what those inside say they will need.” Read more from CCF Director of Policy & Advocacy, @StephanieBazell: collegeandcommunity.org/new-…

More on #StoptheShock. When I was researching #NeuroTribes, I spoke with a psychotherapist who had visited the Judge Rotenberg Center with an open mind. He asked to experience the GED shock device himself and this was his reaction. The JRC staff called it an "anomalous" response.

Darlene "Lulu" Benson-Seay, 61, survived sexual abuse & beatings. Her mother was killed. A lifetime of trauma. Yet Cuomo ignored her clemency petition & left her to die of COVID at Bedford Hills prison. Read more in #TheMissingChapter of Cuomo's new book. bit.ly/missing-chapter-cuomo

This report from the Bazelon Center lays out Judge Barrett’s concerning record of hostility against people with disabilities, including her view that the Affordable Care Act should be struck down, which would take coverage away from millions of Americans: secureservercdn.net/198.71.2…

.@NYGovCuomo Do not punish children for a parent’s mistake. Parent/child contact & bonds are crucial in children’s development & ability to cope through adversity. For some incarcerated parents, visits with their children is the only thing keeping them going. #ProximityNow!
If signed into law by Governor Cuomo, the Proximity Bill (S724A/A6710A) will require NYS DOCCS to consider an incarcerated parent’s proximity to their minor children when assigning them to a prison. Please pass #ProximityNow @NYGovCuomo! osborneny.org/news/proximity…

Solitary confinement is the prison system's worst torture device, writes @Ash_Prashar. Let's act and pass the #HALTsolitary Confinement Act, it's truly cruel and unusual punishment bit.ly/HALTSolitary
