This morning @meparecetenaz spoke in support of @ShutDownBerks with @MakeTheRoadPA, @CASAforall & @SunriseBerks to tell the Berks County to #CutTheContract with ICE and to end the incarceration of immigrants in out community. She then uplifted the story of one detained child. 1/3
This child was detained in the Berks Family Prison for more than a year & a half enduring trauma for seeking safety. When we returned to the office, we learned his green card was delivered in today's mail. He no longer lives in fear and hopes for a life of safety & service. 2/3
The detention of this child was unnecessary & unlawful. It served no purpose but suffering. Our community rejects the further imprisonment of immigrants in our backyard. We are confident the people of Berks will not stand for the detention of a single person more & will be heard.
This afternoon, we’ll have a joint meeting of the #MetroCouncil Budget & Finance and Public Safety committees to discuss @emilyfor7’s BL2020-148, which seeks to prevent Metro from privately contracting for operation of prisons.

This is an important conversation about how to #CutTheContract that began for me as we worked to pass BL2017-542, which increased oversight and newly empowered #MetroCouncil to review such contracts.

I prepared for this term working with @NashSheriff to understand the cost of locally assuming operations of the “Metro” Detention Facility (where locally sentenced state inmates are housed).
