[first day in prison]
me: can you give me any advice
cellmate: never let your guard down

guy behind me: you mean you’re doing “well”

me: I told you I had a corrections officer

No one should be able to profit from filling our prisons.
Not only must we ban private prisons, we must make phone calls and other communication free of charge and end police departments’ reliance on fines and fees for revenue.

Are there any non-white males expressing opinions on the current prison dialogue? I'm literally seeing the same circle of WM patting each other on the back and am wondering where the rest of the voices are?

Queer Eye but it’s five librarians explaining to a Silicon Valley billionaire how the dismantling of the humanities in favor of STEM is killing democracy.

When you *want* to arrest someone, you will. This cop wanted to arrest this man. There are others like him, but this one got filmed. People, put that in check where you're from. This is America, civil rights mvnt was a long time ago & we're still facing historic rights violations

Mitch McConnell really doesn’t like the trending hashtag #MoscowMitch. But he’s brought this on himself by doing the Kremlin’s bidding on election security. If the shoe fits, well, soviet.

Religion is essentially hating people because you think your bullshit imaginary friend is somehow cooler than theirs, and thus, you want to kill them. Pretty cool sentience we have here
Eat Arby’s.

The primary motivation for pleading guilty is the threat of how much jail time you might get if you don’t. Not whether you “did it.” The pressure is crushing. Yet to get a “deal” you must say nobody threatened you and you’re pleading just b/c you did it. It’s a systemic fiction.

Do y’all’s kids know that your company is the main reason why 34% of families with incarcerated members go into debt in order to communicate with their loved ones?

Today, I’m honored to be a part of the announcement that the administration and the private sector are stepping up to create opportunities for these men and women to succeed once home.

We have unfortunate news. New management has taken over the building which houses our program. We must be out at the end of September. We desperately need leads on space. We also need commitment from carpenters & volunteers who can help w/ the 2-month-plus long moving process.

I've chosen not to do interviews in the lead up to Italy, in the hopes that what I will say in Modena will speak for itself.
That said, @manunderbridge & I did write this piece for @Medium about what happens when your life becomes someone else's content.

I promise this week’s #CrowOrNo is actually a crow or no and not just some ink I spilled on a sheet of paper. Answer at 5:30. Good luck corvidphiles!
