Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay, and a reminder that the legacy of centuries of oppression and theft from Native people is their vast overrepresentation in state prisons.

When last surveyed, less than 1 in 7 people in state prisons with a diagnosed mental disorder said they were currently receiving therapy or counseling. Are these the same prisons that claim to be "rehabilitating" people through incarceration?

Deaths in state prisons from drug or alcohol intoxication rose >600% from 2001-2019. But addiction treatment is still only sporadically available in the nation’s prisons & jails. FCM’s Dr. Shira Shavit @_Transitions discussed the issue with the NYT. nytimes.com/2023/08/09/us/po… – at San Francisco, CA

One month ago today, the train derailment in East Palestine, OH exposed systemic racism and disregard for the lives of more than 2,000 incarcerated people less than 15 miles away.
Now, JLUSA and formerly incarcerated leaders are speaking out: jlusa.org/2023/03/03/east-pa… #JustUS

This is one of my favorite stories I've done with @tradeoffspod. Please take some time to listen to Lee's story and how policymakers are trying to help people like him.
The transition from incarceration back to the community can be dangerous — even deadly.
This week, we explore why states from California to West Virginia are turning to Medicaid as a possible solution.

DHCS Chief Deputy Director and State Medicaid Director Jacey Cooper provided insight into providing Medicaid to those transitioning from prison, “If you are providing and paying for the Medicaid services, you want to ensure that you are focused on those that truly need it." ⬇️

If you’re going to quote & authentically honor my father on #MLKDay, commit to embracing a ‘World House’ perspective.
Determine how you’ll disrupt unjust systems & thinking with nonviolent strategy.
Support policies that reflect higher consciousness.
Make no excuses for hate.
