1/ Imagine that you were not allowed to access the internet or your would be sent to jail. There is a pandemic & most communications (zoom town halls, Facebook live briefings, smart tv’s, etc) were happening online or your job or school went to online meetings. #cjreform

2/ Imagine that the probation office didn’t inform you, but you tried to report & it was locked up tight. You can’t get a hold of your officer. Imagine the panic you start to feel. You slip a note under the door and leave a message hoping you’ll be okay.

3/ You are part of an at-risk population for #CoVID19 due to age or underlying medical conditions. You risked your health to report to that office, even had to take public transportation or miss work. #stillnotfree #lessismore

3/ Imagine it is also a technical violation to be unemployed & no one has made any official mention of relaxing the blanket conditions that apply to a “specialized” population of offenders or anyone on probation/parole for that matter.

4/ It’s time to rethink why this makes sense, not just in a pandemic but EVERY DAY. These are NOT hypothetical situations folks, but real-live stories that have happened in these scary times. #stillnotfree #probationreform

Whoops two 3’s 😂- You get the gist.
