Revelations of preventable deaths in custody due to known safety risks are deeply concerning.

30+ years since the Royal Commission, yet little action.

This is a human rights failure. We need national leadership, reform and accountability.

The Sentencing Bill aims to reduce the prison population — a welcome goal given our overcrowded prisons.

But it risks adding complexity without addressing the real injustice of IPP prisoners still trapped beyond their sentences.

Biden’s legacy: pardoning the rehabilitated. Trump’s legacy: pardoning the reprehensible. One’s mercy, the other’s a scam.

Biden issues 39 presidential pardons and commutes 1,500 sentences
The White House says it is the highest number of presidential acts of clemency in a single day.

A Black friend asked me, “Do you ever thank God for your blessings?”
I said, “Sometimes.”
He replied, “Then thank Him you’re not Black in America—especially in North Carolina.”

I stood there—shaken, saddened, and wide awake.

Christopher Nieves was jailed over a pedicab violation—and died before ever seeing a judge. His story is a tragic reminder that NYC’s jail system still puts vulnerable lives at risk. #JusticeReform #Rikers

The Catholic Church alone has paid billions in settlements, highlighting how power protects predators while justice eludes victims. It’s time to prioritize justice over protecting privilege. #EndRapeCulture #JusticeReform #MassIncarceration #ClergyAbuse #SocioeconomicBias #SexualViolence

Chain Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah
hits hard. Thinking about prison labor, firefighters, and, the most absurd, Angola prison rodeo.

Unfortunately, I can very much imagine a future US that evolves into this.

Any person in the "justice" system who believes a cycling helmet will protect against being hit by a +2000 kg vehicle are unfit to deal with cycling cases. #justiceReform @libdems.org.uk @greenparty.org.uk

Now that we have a felon as president, can we agree that non-violent felons shouldn’t face background checks for housing and jobs? Let’s rethink punitive policies that hurt reintegration and second chances. #JusticeReform #FelonRights #Equality 🧪

Prison labor pays pennies, exploiting inmates AND undercutting local workers. It is slavery, just more obvious than capitalist slavery on the outside.

Emphasis must be on reformation and reentry support. #AbolishPrisonLabor #JusticeReform #EndExploitation

Ross Ulbricht’s story sparks debate on justice, technology, and redemption. A pardon raises questions: should non-violent offenses warrant life sentences? #SilkRoad #RossUlbricht #PardonDebate #JusticeReform #Bitcoin

Australia’s prison crisis is not accidental. Decades of punitive expansion have crowded out restorative justice – not because it fails, but because it diffuses control away from the state, Jane Anderson writes.
#PearlsAndIrritations #auspol #JusticeReform #RestorativeJustice #PrisonPolicy
Punishment politics and the suppression of restorative justice
Decades of 'tough on crime' policy have expanded prisons while narrowing reform. Restorative justice has been repeatedly constrained not for lack of evidence, but because it redistributes authority away from the state.

Since SQ780/781 passed:

✅ 47% drop in new prison sentences
✅ Property crime down 30%+ in metro & rural areas
✅ Stronger treatment court programs

Justice reform works when we invest in people.
