Few days ago I asked dozens of lawyers w/incarcerated clients to ask about conditions in NY jail/prisons. Starting to get some responses.
From Greene Correctional:
“They put up posters about washing hands & keeping things clean & wiping things down.” Germicidal wipes passed out.
More from the same Greene inmate:
“As far as people coming in and giving us advice, there hasn’t been any of that.”
“We know we can’t depend on them to make sure we’re all right. We watch the news and get information. We keep ourselves clean anyway.”
From an inmate at Walkill:
Staff sent out memo about hand washing, cover mouth, but no wipes/sanitizer. Visitors being forced to fill out questionnaire about travel, etc, but so far no one denied.
Be advised these are secondhand reports coming through attorneys in contact with inmates.

RIKERS update:
According to my best tally, the courts & 5 city DAs have cleared for release 125 Rikers inmates in last few days.
Mayor de Blasio is saying about 75 have actually been released.
The city had been looking at several 100 releases.
Why the discrepancy?
The process of releasing Rikers inmates isn't easy, it seems.
It includes the Mayor's office of crim justice recommending inmates for release. The DA's signing off the releases. And then a judge approving them.
There's a separate track for parole violators thru the state.
Then the Dept of Corrections has to process the actual release.

NEW: Legal Aid Society has filed an unprecedented mass writ in Manhattan seeking the release of 116 elderly or ailing inmates from Rikers Island.
“New York cannot leave people in jails behind to suffer and die.”
In the federal system meanwhile, Federal Defenders have called on Attorney General Barr to have DOJ suspend new arrests and reduce pretrial detention to lessen population in federal jails.
We'll be putting much of this together for a story on jails soon....

Manhattan DA Cy Vance and Brooklyn DA Eric Gonzalez join 29 others in calling for the release of vulnerable jail and prison inmates.
*The elderly and infirm
*Those w/in six months of completing their sentences
*If setting them free doesn't affect public safety
I'm attaching screen shots of the full letter signed by 31 DA's across the county. Many people have asked for a link but I can't seem to find one!

Kai arrives home from school, its an hour later than usual so Eijirou knows he had detention again.

"Dad, I'm home," he hears Kai call out.

"Kai, what did you do this time?" he asks refusing to beat around the bush.

"It's not my fault," his son replies."
"It's never your fault," he mumbles.

"It won't happen again," they say in unison.

Kirishima takes a deep breath, "son look at me, I found a therapist," he began.

"NO NO NO NO," Kai begins to scream.

"Lower your voice, she is very nice and LGBT friendly," Kiri continues.
"I AM NOT GOING TO A THERAPIST," he screams.

"I'm picking you up next Monday," Kirishima pulls him into a hug, "I know you don't want to but I'm not giving you a choice, not this time."

Kai pushes him off, "I HATE YOU!"

He dropped his bookbag and ran to his room.

together later tonight. If I make a decision today I can probably make an appointment for this week." He gives Hank a wink.

🆒hell yes, here are some opinions
❎I don't want my preferences to influence your decision
🆗I'll look at options with you, but no input on final choice
"It just feels like a dick move, to try and influence your decision," Hank says with a grimace. "Like if I told you to dye your hair because I had a preference for a different color--which I don't, by the way, so don't get any ideas."
"I don't see it that way," Connor says. "I'm
not getting this done for you, I'm doing it for myself, but it seems reasonable to take your preferences into account, since there isn't anyone else I want to be sexually intimate with."
Hank doesn't know what to do with that information; that simple admission, so casually

if he's around someone and conversation dies out, like he's disappointing them by not having anything to say. Like he needs to apologize for not filling that space with something.
There are times when a silence between people feels like a void he has to yell into or it'll swallow
up everything in the room. With Connor, it just feels intimate. A way to share space even if they don't have thoughts to share with each other.
Another way that having Connor around hurts sometimes, because it feels like something it's not, but still Hank knows it's precious.
Most of the rest of the walk is spent in that sweet, close silence. The humidity is so oppressive it feels like a blanket, almost like it's dulling the other sounds of nighttime. Cicadas yell at each other in the trees. A group of teens curses and laughs while playing basketball

Just Live With It
@bbc_thismorning
This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their jobs properly & then decided to take the law into their own hands. The result of this decision has led to events stranger than fiction

#BBCNews #Skynews #Itvnews #Channel4News #ThisMorning #TheresaMay #UKGov #LBC
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Few days ago I asked Twitter if anyone wanted to party with me on the 4th. I invited everyone who responded within a few hours. Yesterday 25 internet strangers partied with me on my apartment rooftop. Everyone was nice and great
I didn’t think anyone would respond. I think there’s clearly a need for more connection, for more room for friendships and places to make friends outside work stuff. I think more random Twitter parties are in order.
For those who want to organize other Twitter parties, all the organizing work I did was make a tweet, invite anyone who replied/DMed to a group DM, and posted a message with details there
