Holding officials accountable is not simply @fji.law's duty; it's a responsibility. Since 1978, FJI has done just that.

#CJReform in #Florida is both a moral and an economic imperative. Help FJI continue upholding that mission through an investment today: www.fji.law/donate

When @fji.law helped make the #TristinMurphyAct a reality, it culminated years of work to secure justice for Tristin's surviving family.

But, rightsizing the justice system in #Florida is a moral and economic imperative. Judge Leifman's steadfast advocacy is a testament to that: #CJReform matters.
In June, commissioners finally voted to open the Miami Center for Mental Health and Recovery, built to treat people with mental illness and addiction instead of putting them behind bars. It's still not open, and Miami needs it now.

With the #Democratic primary on Sept. 1st, I strongly support @marianryanforda.bsky.social! Marian has been a key ally on #cjreform, #policereform, #domesticviolence prevention and especially this session, comprehensive legislation to protect immigrants. Vote early for Marian for DA! #mapoli

... operations, and which seemingly every other year is forced to pay millions in individual tort settlements (again, because they run their jails so well), maybe should start getting the basics under control. (2/2)

I worked for 30 years on bipartisan #cjreform and got more than my share of major bills passed under GOP rule. The job I had bf I retired was at the "bipartisan" reform group that did this campaign, and I had a R board chair. I've done more bipartisan work IRL than you'll ever read about.

#CJReform involves ensuring access to genuine care/rehabilitation inside Florida's carceral facilities. Why? Because ~90% of people imprisoned will eventually reenter society.

Read on about how research from @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social's CBE contributes to @fji.law's 'Wilson v. Dixon' case.
When measured, the heat index in Dade CI stayed above the safety threshold 97 percent of the time, with peaks near 120 degrees.

We are fighting to force the state to keep prisons livable and end conditions that have already contributed to fatalities.

Great to go door knocking today in #Worcester with my colleague, Mary Keefe! Running for re-election to represent the 15th Worcester District, Mary has been a leader on the Student Opportunity Act, fighting for more affordable housing & an outstanding partner as House Chair of #cjreform Caucus!

An excellent piece by @martharamirez.bsky.social. Now that we're in a federal environment that isn't interested in making positive changes to the system, local communities and #foundations like MacArthur are even more important for #cjreform. @palfrey.org

For years, Judge Leifman worked on smarter approaches to #CJReform. @wlrn.org: The Center will focus on "residents that have been arrested under a law that criminalizes homelessness in the city."

@fji.law applauds these efforts and encourages policymakers around #Florida to adopt these strategies.

Tbh, cheap housing explains my entire career: There wasn't funding to do #cjreform back in the day, but in Austin you could live on the cheap, make do, and the legislature comes to you.

Place I live in we rented for $190/month for 7 yrs (during the S&L bust), then we bought it from the landlord.

🚨 #JOLPOL #House #KeyVote Alert: “NO” on #HConRes96; #HR5625; #HR6260; #HR8365 - these are anti- #CriminalJusticeReform #CJReform & anti- #immigrants bills that deny #Justice, #Opportunity, & #Liberty for so many. All related votes may be heavily scored. ⚖️

It's awful. I got into #cjreform over local cop stuff. After 30 years, we got a lot done on prisons, drug enforcement, regressive fines, and other topics, but the local cops were a nut nobody ever cracked, as evidenced by the last dumb-ass police contract Chito and all the others were shilling for.

Day 1 of #QCJustice is in the books!

Our guests enjoyed 4 discussions geared to celebrate what we've accomplished in #cjreform and stretch our imaginations on what can be possible when we work together. We'll share more details soon, but until then, enjoy our keynote recap with @amandaknox.com

As an American, I don't particularly have a dog in the fight. But as a #cjreform guy, I appreciated the version w/ prison reformer Elizabeth Fry, who was on the fiver bf Churchill.
