1/4 “It’s time to choose a different pathway & support public health solutions that save lives.” Read my new @PhillyInquirer op-ed w/ former Chief Brendan Cox & @AdarrelOmarF on the Safehouse case and why we need harm reduction strategies that save lives. medium.com/fair-and-just-…
2/4 “The opioid crisis is testing our moral compass & calls for action. Yet our primary response to the problem has been punitive measures that have failed for decades.”
3/4 “People are dying every day and we must ask ourselves how many lives we are willing to lose before we embrace new solutions.”
4/4 Philly has the chance to model new thinking & over 60 CJ leaders have come together to urge approval of overdose prevention sites as a proven way to save lives. @SafehousePhilly @DA_LarryKrasner @DARollins @SarahFairVT @GeorgeGascon @SherryBostonDA @BrooklynDA @DanSatterberg

Over 35K people are detained in Texas jails for crimes of which they have not been convicted (often just because they cannot afford to post bail). Many do not have water, heat, or enough food, and judges are refusing to even hold hearings to consider lower bail amounts. 🧵:
In Houston, almost 9K people are packed in an overcrowded jail with no running water, no hot food, and overflowing toilets. People are sleeping on the floor in freezing temperatures. A man has already died.
This @keribla report describes TX prison staff dumping table salt on the floor to try and melt ice, people unable to get their medicine, and inedible meals. thedailybeast.com/this-is-whats-…

1/ BREAKING: Noting that “the right to vote is fundamental to our democracy,” 79 CJ leaders issued a joint statement today condemning efforts to undermine the voting process through USPS interference & threatened deployment of law enforcement to the polls. bit.ly/32XilEC
2/ "Public trust in democracy, the rule of law, and the integrity of our government is integral to public safety. When one system is attacked & fails, it compromises the ability of all systems to function."
3/ “Every day, we are working to earn the trust of our communities – and that trust is our greatest tool in identifying and addressing crime and keeping our neighborhoods safe. An election in which countless citizens are unable to vote would irreparably damage that trust.”

1/ “As the RNC plays out this week, a public service warning to all Americans: Don’t buy the hype you are hearing when it comes to crime in America.”
Read my new @thehill op-ed with @RAustin_Jr thehill.com/opinion/civil-…
2/ “More than 178,000 people in the United States have died from COVID-19...on the other hand, in 2018, the last full year of available data, there were 16,214 homicides in the U.S.—less than 10% of the deaths from a virus this president has largely ignored.”
3/ “The average number of annual homicides under President Obama (15,177) was more than a thousand fewer than under President Trump (16,754). At the same time, President Trump has also overseen a dramatic increase in hate crime….”

1/ NEW: Today, 53 current and former elected prosecutors & law enforcement leaders joined in a letter calling on Congress to decriminalize marijuana, expunge prior convictions and invest in communities harmed by past drug policies.
2/ "The MORE Act provides a clear path forward that rights the wrongs of prohibition, and will significantly help law enforcement forge better relationships with the people we serve and bring justice to families of serious, violent crimes." Read more: bit.ly/2YbPcDX
3/ "As front-line public safety experts, we believe that responsible regulation and control of marijuana will be more beneficial to society than prohibiting and criminalizing it."

1/ Youth prisons are “giant monuments to failure.” Read my new @sacbee_news op-ed w/Gladys Carrión, fmr NYS commissioner of youth justice services & co-chair of YCLJ @CUJusticeLab, about efforts in CA to abolish youth prisons. bit.ly/3iyvSZ6
2/ “Youth prisons carry the stain of racism, with Black, Native American and Latinx youth incarcerated at five, three and 1.7 times the rate of white youth, respectively.”
3/ “...And youth prisons are brutal environments, with widespread sexual assaults, violence and neglect. It is no wonder that individuals exiting these places have abysmally high rates of rearrest.”

1/ BREAKING NEWS: 76 CJ leaders - DAs, AGs, Chiefs & Sheriffs nationwide - filed an amicus brief urging inclusive & thoughtful reform of policing & challenging the flawed process & Commission the President & AG have put in place to address these issues. fairandjustprosecution.org/wp-content/upl…
2/ Against the backdrop of the recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others, the brief highlights the deeply frayed relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve. fairandjustprosecution.org/wp-content/upl…
3/ In the brief, amici argue that the “Presidential Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice” lacks the transparency and balance of perspectives necessary to transform policing, earn community trust & improve public safety.
