We believe in transparency, accountability, and the public's right to know. That's why we've signed onto this letter, led by @ACLU_NC, urging Durham Co. Sheriff Birkhead to reverse his position on public access to jail policies. aclu-nc.org/press/birkhead…

Self-serving politicians may want you to believe that violent crime is rampant and repeat offenders are to blame – but two things to remember: 1. Overall crime rates are at historically low levels 2. 74% of all jail bookings are for charges that are not "violent"

Not one of Zak’s death sentences would survive under Florida’s current sentencing law. This is just one of the many reasons the death penalty must be abolished. Take action and reject a system that sentences people to die under rules we no longer allow. bit.ly/SpareZak

U.S. Supreme Court rejected a plea to block the execution of Michael Bell who was convicted of killing a Jax couple more than 30 yrs ago Justice Sotomayor and Kagan would've granted the stay of execution so the court could have heard Bell’s appeal. jaxtrib.org/2025/07/15/u-s…

70% of parents in state prison keep in touch with their kids via mail. This outrageous hike on stamp prices will hit them hard – especially considering they are often paid pennies per hour (or LESS) for work behind bars. usatoday.com/story/money/20…

#MikeBell is set to be executed on July 15 in FL. At 15, he was sent to the notorious Dozier School, where guards beat, shackled, and abused him. He's one of at least 34 boys who survived Dozier and later landed on death row. @MarshallProj themarshallproject.org/2025/07/14/flo…

NCCADP's tweet card. At least 34 boys from the Dozier School were later sentenced to death. Did abuse make them more violent?
