Campaign update: gofundme.com/break-the-block During the past two months No Exceptions collaborated and joined with the Poor People's Campaign to raise awareness around the abuses of mass incarceration, and the urgent need to abolish private prisons. Help us keep it going.

HB 1188 would have brought back independent oversight over the Department of Corrections Listen to staff and listen to prisoners!

HJR 226 set for a final reading and vote in the House tonight, but what happens in the Senate remains to be seen. Can we lead in universal abolition?

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
