Again, this should be a no brainer. With the amount of money pured into service providers for prisons and the terrible food produce, WHY NOT GET FRESH HEALTHY FOOD? not to mention it is #Alabama that is debuting this program.

Couldn't be said better: "Children Deserve the Right to Hug Their Incarcerated Parents" by Chesa Boudin @currentaffairs.bsky.social CA LAWSUIT recognizes "a screen is not a visit, a paid video call is not a hug, and a family’s right to remain whole should not vanish at the jailhouse door."

Children Deserve the Right to Hug Their Incarcerated Parents

Forty years after my family fought for the right for me to hug my mother in prison, children are still being denied the same human connection.

This literally damages the grey matter mass in their brains. I want to see a generation of children whose parents were incarcerated be awarded billions. That would be justice.

This is so true and so lttle heeded -- prisoners do not deserve to die at the hands of COs!!! My book SOUNDS LIKE TROUBKE TO ME explores death behind bars as well as abuse and does it in fiction. The truth is revealed either way.

And yet the public continues to be misled by newsrooms using salacious crimes, racism, and fearmongering to keep crime as the constant drumbeat of infotainment. People always think crime is on the rise. That's a failure of the 4th estate. Or a choice. Read more via Vox: www.vox.com/future-perfe...
