Everyone should go to prison at least once. Even a short visit will help you see that imprisonment does not equate to justice being done. There has to be a better way! #rwnikkel #hopeintheruins #loveandjustice #justiceandmercy #hope #criminaljustice #prisonreform

We know what the problems are in prisons - more studies will not enlighten us, but only serve to delay acting on what we already know. #justiceandmercy #crimeandpunishment #prisoncrisis #hopeintheruins #rwnikkel #hope

Solitary confinement is not a solution. It is punitive for sure but not at all corrective. It is vindictive not helpful. #rwnikkel #hopeintheruins #prisons #crimeandpunishment #treatmentofoffenders

Any excuse to treat prison inmates badly! One of the most helpful things for inmates is family and community contact. When prisons make that difficult if not impossible it has a devastating effect on prisoners. #rwnikkel #hopeintheruins #justiceandmercy #prisons

It would be far less expensive to provide decent housing for the unhoused than to house them in a jail or prison. #hopeintheruins #rwnikkel #justice #prisonandpoverty
