In prison nothing is free. Not even toothpaste. The cost of hygiene products increased again today. Toothpaste used to be $3.85 and now it's $6.10. That's over 14 hours working a prison job to afford one tube of toothpaste.

I had a wonderful experience learning with and from experts, academics and practitioners at the @TheHowardLeague Conference in Oxford. It was wonderful to see lived experience voices amplified at this conference, including @HumansSQ and @RMIT University’s Think Tank initiative.

There's another covid outbreak on my prison unit. DOC has plenty of N95 masks now, but prisoners will get a disciplinary infraction if they're caught with one. Why? Because N95s also protect us from their tear gas, which they still freely use during a respiratory pandemic.

#BREAKINGNEWS: The Department of Justice just informed our partners at @FAMM that they have reversed their decision and WILL NOT send thousands of families back to prison! This is an incredible victory for the advocates and impacted families who fought to #KeepThemHome.

Another 10/6 lifer is home. After 50 years, Walter was given his freedom. Our Forgotten Men Initiative is working with @orleansparishda to restore fairness and equity to the justice system. We hope to partner with others who recognize mass incarceration is a public safety issue.
