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. prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/04/1…

“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.’” nytimes.com/2025/02/09/us/…

LimanCenter's tweet card. With a compliant Congress and mostly quiet streets, the president’s opponents are turning to the judicial branch with a flurry of legal actions. But can the courts keep up?

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. prisonpolicy.org/reports/probat…
