Thank you, Representative @KaraHope7 for championing the safety of Michiganders inside and outside of the Michigan Department of Corrections. You brought #SecondLookMI to a successful vote out of the Criminal Justice committee.
Second Look would create a vital and safe way to relieve pressure on understaffed prisons, while giving people who can safely return home an opportunity to contribute to their communities.
Thank you @karahope7 for listening to directly impacted voices and corrections officers through your advocacy for #SecondLookMI. This bill is critical to end mass incarceration, advance racial justice, and better invest in community safety.
Rep @KaraHope74 thank you for listening to the thousands of people on the ground who have been asking for major changes to our criminal legal system!! We are so grateful for your leadership. #passsecondlook thank you CJ committee @EmilyDievendorf @StateRepSteph @NoahArbit

@SHDetroit the people who do the best time and serve our communities upon release are often the people who committed deep harms in their pasts. As your guest said, the “evidence” says people age out of “crime”. We would like to add that those same people have
