Listen to the interview with Jenna Moll, deputy director of Justice Action Network. The new poll, released today by the Justice Action Network reveals that Pennsylvanians across the political spectrum overwhelmingly support measures to “significantly improve” the state’s criminal justice system, with 75% voter support for probation reform and more than 80% support for occupational licensing reform proposals. The poll was released as advocates flood the capitol building for a probation reform advocacy day hosted by FAMM.

On this week's podcast, Paul interviews Lauren Krisai, Senior Policy Analyst, Justice Action Network. Lauren's group has worked extensively on bail reform nationwide.

Martinez) labeling it "Catch and Release." Paul and Lauren discuss the issue and whether bail reforms are to blame for New Mexico's (or Bernalillo County's) crime issues. Check out this important discussion about one of the hot-button issues in our State.

Josh and Joel discuss both the Dignity For Incarcerated Women Act and the National Day of Empathy (March 6th). The National Day of Empathy was created by the Cut 50 organization (created by Van Jones). The main campaigns for the 2018 Day of Empathy are to push: The Dignity For Incarcerated Women Act of 2018 and Clean Slate Legislation Cut 50 has several pages on their site about the Dignity Act. I created this easy to use guide to all 65 of the recaps that I wrote of the episodes of Orange Is the New Black. There is a lot of popular press on the erasure of women from the national discussion about criminal justice reform. There has also been good work done clarifying the need for specific work to be done on women's issues within criminal justice reform efforts. i made one really dumb statement. Many of the reforms for women in Michigan's DOC were created by the HARD work of the inmates (not just because of Heidi Washington). Thanks to folks like Monica Jahner and lots of other women in Michigan, we have a better system. Apologies. In 2017 the Michigan legislature passed and Governor Snyder signed legislation allowing the Michigan Department of Corrections to hire formerly incarcerated people (under limited conditions). Distance can be a huge barrier to in-person visits for families of incarcerated people and great research has been done on the importance of in-person familial visitation. Some of the research on contact was summarized in a 2014 meta-analysis (and usually has different outcomes based on the environment and how the contact is allowed) As Pricilla Ocen but it in her 2012 Law Review article, the shackling and use of solitary for pregnant women in prisons and jails is "endemic." The hygiene products dispute is ongoing at the federal level, there are vastly different stories being told depending on which sides of corrections you represent. There is a growing movement at the State level to address access to feminine hygiene products at State facilities as well. As for gynecology, research has repeatedly demonstrated that services are inadequate in prison settings. I am new to the discussion of Trauma-Informed Training and care in women's prisons but there has been recent reporting on the need for better training and a more informed correctional system approach. The petition for legislative action is one route or you can write or call your Senator or Congressperson. Holly Harris of the Justice Action Network has been a great advocate for the Dignity Act, you can watch her at Google's Defining Justice event last week.

Almost as soon as the new Dave Chappelle comedy specials hit Netflix, we could tell there were problems. Our twitter timelines lit up with people talking about homophobia, transphobia, and jokes about sexual assault. We watched, and we agreed. Whatever Dave's been doing for the last twelve years, it didn't involve evolving along with the rest of us. Also this week, RuPaul spoke about something that's been a scourge of gay bars ever since straight people found out about them: bachelorette parties. And Bill O'Reilly had the nerve to come for America's favorite Auntie, Congresswoman Maxine Waters - not by challenging her policies or political positions, but by saying she wore a "James Brown wig." The clap back could be heard from outer space, and continues to reverberate through every dusty corner of the internet and cable TV. Finally, closer to home, the Kentucky General Assembly wrapped up its session this week. One bill that made it through the session was SB 120, which seeks to address some of the challenges faced by incarcerated and formerly-incarcerated people. We learn more this week from Holly Harris, Executive Director of the U.S. Justice Action Network.
