In March, @GovKathyHochul gave in to prison guard demands, agreeing to subject incarcerated people to extended isolation in solitary confinement.
Solitary is a form of torture – and it will do little to improve working conditions or fix staffing concerns.

“Unbounded power is the antithesis of the U.S. Constitution,” said Prof. Resnik. “That point is on display every time you enter the U.S. Supreme Court, where etched in stone are the words: ‘equal justice under law.’”

In a new @GOVERNING story about the promising "Little Scandinavia" effort in Pennsylvania, AV's Julie James explains how prison staff decided they wanted to focus on rehabilitation & helping people prepare to reenter society, rather than just containment:

Most people on probation must pay monthly fees & other costs of supervision, despite more than half of them having annual incomes below $20,000.
These types of standard conditions can leave people in a vicious cycle of poverty.

Incarceration has a wide-reaching and long-lasting effect on families.
People with incarcerated immediate family members are less likely to report good physical and mental health and less likely to rate as “thriving” in terms of overall well-being.

RAPP’s Greg Mingo wasn’t surprised prison guards killed Robert Brooks: “That’s just how the system is. It’s been going on forever.”
Last year, 143 people died in NY prisons, or one every 2.5 days. Many were labeled “natural causes” & not investigated.
