A1. Gov. Haslman eliminated Independent Oversight. Dept. of Corrections has major human rights violations in Tennessee prisons, yet there is no transparency. No one is watching the watchers. Legislation would bring independent oversight back. .NAACP TN State Conf. #secondchancenaacptn
More for A1. The TN Comptroller issued a report showing failure of transparency in TN prisons - lack of medical care, violence, abuse, overuse of solitary confinement. Legislation will be brought up again. .NAACP TN State Conf. #secondchancenaacptn
A6. 13th amendment doesn't abolish slaver for ppl in slavery (or "duly convicted of crime") you are considered slave or indentured servant. HJR226 removes the criminality exception - meaning you can't use incarceration to enslave ppl. #secondchancenaacptn .NAACP TN State Conf. x.com/TNNAACP/status…
A6. HJR 226 is sponsored by Rep. Joe Towns of Memphis. It would universally ban slavery in TN Constitution. It passed the TN House, but failed in Senate. We are bringing it back next year. .NAACP TN State Conf. #secondchancenaacptn
