I used to be at the prison that houses death row inmates. I was the editor of the prison newspaper, so I got to speak with them often. In 2 yrs time, 4 death row inmates got their cases overturned, 2 were released. I don't understand governors continuing the death penalty

The incarcerated people are not always what the system paints them to be.

People who owe court debt are routinely forced to make an impossible choice: whether to buy food ... or pay fines & fees. Sarah Couture shares how her experience working for Feeding Tampa Bay inspires her work to stop criminalizing poverty in Florida: finesandfeesjusticecenter.org/2022/02/21/fee…

We get sent hundreds of letters every month but we read every single one. They shape our work and our strategic priorities as an organization. Everything we do is in response to the needs of our incarcerated members (made up of 10% of Nevada Corrections's inmate population).

This is big. This is important. Court fees in Nevada bury our most vulnerable in debt and criminalize poverty. We all want safe neighborhoods, we won't get there by funding local government on the backs of our poorest neighborhoods.

When you start seeing your worth, you’ll stop seeing people who don’t!

We stand in solidarity of the CO’s at Nevada Corrections and their families when it comes to the working hours. It is putting the well-being of the staff and the incarcerated at risk. When will @GovSisolak step in to assist?

Families of the incarcerated should not be a source of income for Nevada Corrections.

"Nevada Corrections miscalsified $43K in weapons purcheses as inmate driven cots ... this means that funding approved for inmate driven costs such as housing, food, and clothing were used to purches weapons, violating the intended purpose of the budget" budget.nv.gov/uploadedFiles/…

The Ninth Circuit US Court of Appeals affirmed a NV district court’s granting of a new trial to Mark Rogers, blasting the state for providing him with inexperienced counsel who lacked the knowledge and resources to competently defend a capital trial. deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/federal-c…

The experiences of women incarcerated in Nevada are too often overlooked. We correspond with many of them and today, on #InternationalWomensDay, we extend our support, strength and solidarity to all of them ♥️

Question for Nevada Open Government Coalition, NRS 343A.100 keeps all working papers from executive branch audits confidential, execpt in very limited cirumstances. Making it dificult to dive deeper into audits. While I understand posibly redacting some information is there a good reason for this?

“What we’re talking about is a public health crisis in institutions where the disease is going to spread & it’s going to harm the community at large. This report confirms everything we have predicted.” @welborn_holly ACLU of Nevada Article Michael (MJ) Lyle Nevada Current || bsky @nevadacurrent.com nevadacurrent.com/2022/03/11/rep…

"Everything we’ve said has lined up with every report by what they consider a neutral third party. So when is somebody going to do something about it?” Our founder Jodi spoke with Michael (MJ) Lyle Nevada Current || bsky @nevadacurrent.com about a new report published by Crime and Justice Institute nevadacurrent.com/2022/03/11/rep…

Another day another Executive Branch report showing NDOC mismanagement. The real question is why keep commissioning reports and audits when it's clear the Board of Prison Comissioners has no interest in doing anything about them? nevadacurrent.com/2022/03/11/rep…

Nancy Hart has fought to #endthedeathpenalty in Nevada for over 20 years. We’ve seen her spearhead reform but it's past time for abolition of a dangerously broken system. Read her eloquent words on the necessity and urgency of abolition below: rgj.com/story/opinion/…

How about assisting the homeless instead of slapping them with jail time or fines they can’t pay?

WCCF marked the successful completion of its first Baker Technical Institute's Heavy Equipment Operator course, with 12 AIC receiving certificates. The participants gained certifications in Heavy Equipment Operation, Traffic Control/Flagging, Forklift Operation, and CPR/First Aid/AED. #jobskills

People getting close to being released from prison must overcome their method of surviving in captivity in order to have success in freedom. That is a failure of the system that constantly dehumanizes you & then expects you to be able to function in the free world.
