Did you know that the MA Parole Board denied TEN women parole in 2020? 10 women who should be home right now. How many women were denied parole in 2019? How many in 2021? This year?

Some women in Framingham are ONLY there for technical violations of parole not new transgressions. 1 of our members just came home after doing a DECADE on a technical violation. H1798 would change this

The Senate included language in the Infrastructure Bond Bill that WILL NOT STOP the planned women's prison project.
The exceptions in the rule GIVE PERMISSION for DOC to EXPAND.
