Wow. It's almost like DOC bought an ad in the Globe.

The Editorial Board is wrong and willfully ignorant.

1) The Moratorium would not stop renovations or repairs. bit.ly/moratoriummemo

2) The Disability Law Center has endorsed the House Language: bit.ly/strongmoratori… 3) The Ripples report has been rejected & delegitimized by everybody but DOC - including researchers:


And PLS: plsma.org/new-report-pro…

& of course us as formerly incarcerated and directly affected women - including women who have lived inside Framingham Image

MORATORIUM UPDATE:

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.

This language does NOT get us to what different looks like!

#NoNewWomensPrison The $50 million women's prison project has always been billed as "renovation" of Bay State or SMCC prisons. It's also been sold as "trauma informed."

This language obscures the truth: it's construction to keep women incarcerated for another 100 years.
