Irby: Part of adopting equitable practices at our institutions is the likelihood that there will be missteps and mistakes. We need to have the willingness to take risks and be creative. @DecoteauIrby #TYCA23

This #ValentinesDay, the Board of Correction is voting on whether to let @CorrectionNYC ban physical mail for people in custody.

In early 2021, I published this about Greg Abbott — about his “sociopathic gambit devoid of empathy for the life-and-death danger his reckless actions will cause.” I stand by every word, especially following his latest Christmas Eve gambit. open.substack.com/pub/americ…
