#FairHousingMonth reminder: Housing access is more effective than criminalization. #RethinkJails Check out the full video 🎥 from @nytimes. nytimes.com/2024/04/16/opi…
Fair chances matter. More than 95 percent of people in prison will return to their communities—and they deserve a real opportunity to access housing, employment, education, and more. What do fair chances mean to you?
The @macfound provided funding to Cook County to make jails more accessible, create avenues away from incarceration for disabled people, and provide reentry support. #RethinkJails disabilityphilanthropy.org/resource/disab…
Individuals with a criminal record often face a huge disadvantage in application processes. Without any real opportunities for a second chance, they struggle to successfully re-enter society. #SecondChanceMonth
Exciting news! Santa Clara is stepping up its game in transparency and accountability with the launch of the new @ThePPIs Prosecution Data Dashboard. #SantaClara #Transparency #Accountability data.dacalifornia.org/santa-clara/
Disparities in imprisonment have narrowed over the past 20 years. The new report from the @CouncilonCJ explores why with new 2024 data📊 that investigates the impact of sentencing reforms on disparity trends. #RethinkJails counciloncj.foleon.com/reports/racial…
Overcrowded facilities are the biggest cause of death in LA county jails, but pervasive neglect and mistreatment, inadequate care inside jails, and a failure to offer robust alternatives to incarceration also play a role. #RethinkJails (via @verainstitute) vera.org/news/la-county…
“Housing insecurity and justice system involvement often create a reinforcing, vicious cycle that has long lasting effects for individuals, families, communities, and government systems.“ - @innovjustice #RethinkJails #FairHousingMonth innovatingjustice.org/publications/h…
The cost of relying on cash bail takes money away from supportive services, including: 🏫Education 💼Job training 🏠Supportive housing 🏥Mental health care @bailproject’s new report focuses on the downsides of pretrial incarceration. #RethinkJails bailproject.org/learn/out-of-p…
❗Incarcerated transgender people are often placed in solitary confinement. A new report from the @verainstitute and @BLACKandPINKorg highlights the ways state prisons mistreat trans people and offers solutions, such as flexible housing. #RethinkJails theappeal.org/trans-prisoner…
Punishing people in jails isn’t improving public safety. Trauma from jails and criminal records make it harder for people to safely reenter their communities. (via @verainstitute) #RethinkJails vera.org/news/why-punis…
Investing in public safety means investing in public services, including health insurance. A new study in Tennessee proves it, and this pattern risks repeating itself at a large scale. #RethinkJails ✍️: @alex_burness at @boltsmag boltsmag.org/medicaid-cover…
#Breaking @ThePPIs, supported by @macfound @Microsoft Justice Reform Project released a new data dashboard with the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office. Check it out at data.dacalifornia.org/santa-clara/ #community #justice #prosecution
A conviction history should not be a barrier to housing, yet discrimination and exclusionary practices make reentry overly burdensome and difficult. Removing barriers to housing ensures those impacted by the criminal legal system get a #FairChance to reenter their communities.

To make sure their criminal legal systems are functioning as they should be, stakeholders need data. But it's not as simple as collecting it. It need to be standardized, organized & ready to be put into action. Here's how we did for @safety_justice sites: bit.ly/4bD7L82
