NEW collab w/ @theshoestring.bsky.social: Records I obtained from a lawsuit offer a rare window into the secretive world of sheriffs’ offices, where misconduct is often shielded from outside scrutiny by #Massachusetts’ weak public records law.

Wonderful conversation at Community Church of Boston with @staceyborden.bsky.social of New Beginnings Reentry Services, talking SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLE TO ME and far ranging about women in prison.

Don't miss Andrea James and why she was snubbed by the so called "powers that be" and not allowed in the Gov. debates. Watch Now!

GOOD NEWS! Please read and share my newest about a groundbreaking program in #Mass #education @emersoncollege.bsky.social #EPI @mneesha-gellman.bsky.social

Horrendous news "Mass court has already certified class-action lawsuit, Evelyn v. Jenkins, representing 200 prisoners who allege behavioral assessment units violate state's 2018 CriminalJusticeReformAct as isolation conditions=indistinguishable from illegal solitary confinement. @plsma.bsky.social

Apparently 3 lawsuits filed now per www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Again, this should be a no brainer. With the amount of money pured into service providers for prisons and the terrible food produce, WHY NOT GET FRESH HEALTHY FOOD? not to mention it is #Alabama that is debuting this program.

I LOVE THE @redsox.com

What a wonderful story Karaoke= “the perfect antidote” 2prison, a place described as “a toxin 2the human spirit.” Karaoke nights=a "feature of past Innocence Project conferences....Before it had a larger budget, the group threw karaoke fund-raisers 2collect funds 4clients’ rent, clothes or bills."

Things like this are no brainers if you want people to get comfortable in the world. But FYI long stays in prison in this country=cruel

BOSTON! Join me--I'm on a panel--at New Beginnings Reentry Services for "Echoes of a Promise: Civil Rights. Justice Reform" Sept. 25, 5–8PM Bruce Bolling Building | 2300 Washington St., Roxbury, MA Powerful stories from formerly incarcerated folks, meaningful dialogue, & community connection.

Couldn't be said better: "Children Deserve the Right to Hug Their Incarcerated Parents" by Chesa Boudin @currentaffairs.bsky.social CA LAWSUIT recognizes "a screen is not a visit, a paid video call is not a hug, and a family’s right to remain whole should not vanish at the jailhouse door."

This literally damages the grey matter mass in their brains. I want to see a generation of children whose parents were incarcerated be awarded billions. That would be justice.

This is a pretty sobering report about women on parole from the @counciloncj.org Their housing prospects fare worse than men on parole and than women not on parole. They have moved more frequently, had worse physical and mental health, and more substance use disorder.

Had the incredible honor of speaking w/amazing Grace from Rising Above Shadows Of Abuse Podcast! Topics=prison "reform", how cycles of violence uniquely affect women, inspirations for SLTTM, & more. Check out “Behind The Walls: Trauma, Truth, & Justice w/Jean Trounstine” wherever you get podcasts!

Do you have any idea what #prisoners make inside and how they mange to cover their expenses? Read this fascinating article by Richard "Corey" Fox, Nathan Gray and Chastyn Hicks @prisonjournalism.bsky.social

Thank You #GloriaSteinem for being an inspiration to so many women and a generation. Your good work also extended well into old age and for that too, I thank you.

This is so true and so lttle heeded -- prisoners do not deserve to die at the hands of COs!!! My book SOUNDS LIKE TROUBKE TO ME explores death behind bars as well as abuse and does it in fiction. The truth is revealed either way.

This also happened in 2015 thnx to former prisoner Debra Baggett and the law firm of Howard Friedman COURT GRANTS PRELIMINARY APPROVAL OF SETTLEMENT OF CLASS ACTION REGARDING CERTAIN STRIP SEARCHES AT WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS REGIONAL WOMEN’S CORRECTIONAL CENTER

And yet the public continues to be misled by newsrooms using salacious crimes, racism, and fearmongering to keep crime as the constant drumbeat of infotainment. People always think crime is on the rise. That's a failure of the 4th estate. Or a choice. Read more via Vox: www.vox.com/future-perfe...

NEW: Murder crime rate fell in 2025 to the lowest since "FBI recorded modern estimates" and many other crime rates fell as well

Good article about the #MA Governor's Council race in Western MA by @theshoestring.bsky.social Dylan Vrins

This is really EXACTLY why I tell people my new novel (SOUNDS LIKE TROUBLE TO ME) is not just a story but a commentary on the #justice system and the way women behind bars must fight tooth and nail to expose abuse. #books 📚💙 #writingcommunity

@democracynow.org & Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative. Legacy Museum in Montgomery, Alabama, tells the history of enslaved Africans trafficked to the Americas by European powers & chronicles history of slavery, racism, lynchings & segregation in the US.

Wonderful day with @staceyborden.bsky.social and New Beginnings Reentry Services! Seeing people out of prison, people exonerated, people working to get others out of prison and a community seeking justice!
