Not only are prisons lethal, but the incarcerated population is rapidly aging. Older people now make up 5x as much of the prison population as 3 decades ago. Turning prisons into “makeshift nursing homes” is one of the U.S.'s most wasteful, morally bankrupt experiments to date.
Graph showing that in 1991, 2% of adult arrests and 3% of people in prison were 55+. In 2021, those numbers skyrocketed to 8% and 15%.

I think one reason that prisons, and by extension the entire criminal justice system, are able to be as barbaric as they are is that prisons and prisoners are for the large part invisible. That's why I think PJP is so important for those inside as well as for humanity at large

The Trump administration has rolled back a major protection under the Endangered Species Act by repealing the long-standing definition of what counts as prohibited “harm” to endangered species.

For decades, the law has treated significant habitat destruction as a form of harm because destroying an animal’s breeding, feeding, or sheltering areas can ultimately kill a species even without directly harming an individual animal.

The administration is now removing that interpretation, arguing the law should apply more narrowly. The change could make it easier for development and other projects to damage critical habitat, making it harder to protect endangered wildlife and plants that depend on those ecosystems to survive.
