While American prisons are designed to dehumanize, in Germany, incarcerated people enjoy an incredible amount of privacy, autonomy, and freedom of expression. And it works. Not only is Germany's incarceration rate lower, its recidivism rate is lower too: bit.ly/2PzRQgS

People working on voter registration - don't forget detainees in PreTrial detention in your state may be eligible to vote and not know it. I'm starting a last minute effort to get registration and/or absentee ballots out to detainees. Join me! #GetOutTheVote

If you didn't believe climate change was a real thing, think about THIS! How many "storms of the century" have we had in the last year? We haven't even recovered yet. Take this seriously, folks. If you know elderly people in the path, please help them.

Of course we''ll let Kim Kardashian inform prison policy rather than those living it. Kim, do you know what a hook-up is, or a shank, or what you have to go through to see a case manager or medical? Have you ever been patted down for a visit? #prisonstrike

Please help inmates prepare. Family members! #HurricaneFlorence

Every human being has a right to be treated humanely. The punishment is separation from society and loved ones...not conditions that treat the incarcerated like animals. Help raise awareness. We don't heal or rehabilitate this way. aclu.org/blog/prisoners…

This sounds like a great program in OK. Many states will not allow felons to hold a cosmetology license. Kudos to R.I.S.E. and to Oklahoma for creating #reentrysuccess

Florida is the worst! It takes a comedian to deal with those clowns!

These are the conversations we need to be having! #prisonreform

Desmond Meade has worked tirelessly on this issue for years.

On the eve of this important day in history, how many women have stopped to think about their own abusive incidents? I have. It’s difficult. We were conditioned to think we were at fault - that it was sort of ok. I’m amazed at the number that come to mind -and ashamed.
