Mass incarceration is not an isolated issue, and it's not someone else's problem – it's an engine of economic injustice that affects everyone. The fight for a fair economy and the movement against prisons are actually one and the same👇 prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/08/2…

🚨NEW: It's officially back-to-school season. Unfortunately, researching and learning about the criminal legal system & mass incarceration is not easy. So we decided to gather resources to make the data more accessible for students & teachers👇 prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/09/0…

We Arnold Ventures were frustrated that the US publishes data on the # of hogs slaughtered each day with a one day lag but national crime stats only annually, 9 months later. Since the FBI can't/won't publish more timely data, we funded the creation of realtimecrimeindex.com

New study from Prison Policy Initiative shows that ending mass incarceration can improve workers’ ability to organize. That's just one reason why many unions champion criminal justice reform. Ending Incarceration will create better conditions for workers across the country.

The desantis book/curriculum bans have rightly outraged many americans, including liberal Jews. Yet Jewish attacks on ethnic studies and Palestine education are mirroring and aiding this repressing project. Our Florida issues responsa is now online: jewishcurrents.org/more-truth

Claims about rising US crime are false or outdated: "At the national level and in most cities, crime—especially violent crime—will continue its multi-year decline by the end of 2024 and will likely be at a low not seen in over 50 years." -Alex Piquero thehill.com/opinion/immigr…

The Attica prison uprising began on September 9, 1971, before being brutally shut down. Incarcerated people released a list of demands ranging from pay raises to parole reform to better food – demands that people in prison are still fighting for over fifty years later.

Poverty traps people in jail—and jail traps people in poverty. Did you know that 83% of people in local jails are legally innocent and awaiting trial? Yet the majority cannot afford bail. We must #RethinkJails. More from Prison Policy Initiative. ⬇️ prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/08/2…
