Deputy Mayor Chris Geldart seems to be burdening those incarcerated for their own conditions inside DC jail. Absolutely deplorable.

Does Geldart know that "magic wand, we wouldn't need to incarcerate anybody" is the same as #FreeThemAll? “Abolition is about abolishing the conditions under which prison became the solution to problems, rather than abolishing the buildings we call prisons.” - Ruth Wilson Gilmore

We are now live on our FB Page: facebook.com/watch/live/?ref… Currently, Council is only permitted to broadcast two hearings per day with OCTO. Hence, as this was scheduled late, the roundtable is only available on our Facebook page.
Watch live now Roundtable - Conditions of Confinement at the D.C. Jail Watch: bit.ly/2XUhP90
As indicated by Katerina Semyonova of @pdsdc, the best way to protect the residents of DC from the violence of DOC is to stop their incarceration in the first place #FreeThemAll

US Marshalls pulled a fast one and are forcing 400 prisoners at the DC jail to transfer to PA. Conditions have been known to be really bad at the jail for years, and many are held there for years pre-trial. Join us in the push to #releasenottransfer
