This is how people in prison should be referred to. In my experience, in the United States, most corrections agencies would rather do anything than use language like, ‘the men in our care.’ Prisons do have a responsibility to provide care, not just incapacitate. Language matters.

Outrage over the hiring of neoliberal economist and police apologist Jennifer Doleac to run criminal justice policy at Arnold Ventures is growing. My letter is in the thread.

She is a problem. This is what gave birth to mass incarceration 1.0. #ResearchKaren

After what seemed like forever, here is my first solo publication! I examined the motivations for persistent gang involvement among Hmong gang members and reflected on salient cultural and geographic distinctions. 👇👇👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

#EndLWOP Great stories & great reporting! No dehumanizing language. Instead real discussions about trauma, healing, transformation, responsibility, & the power of education. Understanding the true causes of crime is how we end #massincarceration #reentry youtu.be/G9h7Lj78RTQ

If you are outraged that Elizabeth Holmes has a small child and is pregnant and is going to jail, ask yourself: Who do you think populates women’s prisons?

$556,539 per year That’s how much $$$ it costs NYC, per person, to jail someone on Rikers Island in deadly, inhumane conditions, We live in a society that will spend to more money to jail someone than to house, educate, & feed them combined. The cruelty is the point.

Same foundations that call themselves progressive will ask non profit organizations to measure success through recidivism rates, as if Black, brown and poor people getting locked up is not primarily a function of government policy: parole, policing, probation, child support, etc.

Incarceration didn't fail you. It was never meant to protect you.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a student activity on reasonable suspicion, just cause, etc.? I'm trying to get my students to put themselves in the decision-making role. #AcademicTwitter #teaching #studentlearning #policingactivity

We need to find a way of honouring the dreadful experiences of some victims of crime that is not just imposing weighty punishment on those who have wronged them. Victims need more than such punishment and usually this doesn't help them at all.

Yesterday Adnan left me the first voice notes he's ever left anyone and they are as adorable as you'd expect ("is this on, is this recording, what is this?") and told me he's trying to learn to use an iPhone but that "he's not really liked cell phones since 1998", I DIED 🤣🤣🤣
