Hello everyone, this is the second of five updates detailing my externship experience at Prisoners' Legal Services of Massachusetts funded by Equal Justice America. Hopefully I can offer a glimpse into what this placement has been like for me! My first week with PLS started with a comprehensive on-boarding process. During this, I was able to meet nearly every staff member who works here, as well as learn about many of the different projects and functions that PLS has. There are many more arenas to prisoner rights law than I originally thought, so learning about all the different areas PLS operates in was super interesting. For example, PLS advocates in brutality, medical parole, solitary confinement, and several other types of cases. I have also been assigned to the team counseling jointly with an outside law firm in a class-action brutality case. I have already done discovery and data management work for this case, and I expect there will be plenty more to work on with it in the coming weeks. My other main assignment currently has been an investigation into the relationship between the MA Department of Correction and ICE, specifically through what is known as a 287(g) agreement, where state corrections/police officers can be certified to perform the responsibilities of ICE agents. I am currently in the process of drafting public records requests so we can obtain more information and understand what we are up against better. So far, this has been a great experience. The work environment is super friendly, and people who aren't even my supervisor are always quick to answer questions or lend a hand. Looking forward to what's to come! #EJAFellowUpdate Fundraising link, support if you can!: https://lnkd.in/g_UpXbpW

Country club Director of operations; I am Looking to be cast on reality television and help change society’s view on the negative aspects of our culture and help uplift others from my own personal battles
Individual group podding built independently not as one structure !!! I have a whole new way of building jails and implementing the correct programming!!! Without interruption and larger grouping we can focus individually on all issues, from mental health which includes numerous problems, all be different which includes different treatment .. classifications will be the main focus in starting a brand new system !!! I have the plan now I’m waiting on an investor … we can begin to solve the bigger issues with corrections and help better our species and conscience as one !!

Watching “Juvenile Justice” has me questioning the effectiveness of our laws in truly reforming young offenders. Are we doing enough? 🔍 Exploring Juvenile Justice: A Closer Look at the Law and Its Impact on Society As I dive into the gripping series “Juvenile Justice,” I’m compelled to reflect on the complexities of our legal system when it comes to dealing with young offenders. The series brings to light the delicate balance between rehabilitation and punishment, and how crucial it is to consider the age, background, and circumstances of juvenile offenders. 🏛 The Juvenile Justice System in India In India, the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 is a critical piece of legislation. This law emphasizes reform over punishment, recognizing that children who commit crimes should be treated differently from adults. The goal is to rehabilitate and reintegrate these young offenders into society rather than subject them to the harsher penalties of the adult criminal system. ⚖️ Rehabilitation vs. Punishment However, the system faces significant challenges. Is our current approach truly effective? The series raises pertinent questions about whether the law adequately addresses the root causes of juvenile delinquency. Are the resources for counseling, education, and community support sufficient to prevent re-offending? And how do we ensure that the rights of victims are respected while still focusing on the potential for reform in young offenders? 📚 Lessons from “Juvenile Justice” The series offers a profound commentary on the moral and legal dilemmas faced by the judiciary when dealing with juvenile cases. It highlights the need for a more nuanced approach, one that considers the individual circumstances of each case while maintaining the integrity of the justice system. 💬 Join the Conversation How do you think we can improve our juvenile justice system to better serve both the young offenders and society? Share your thoughts and experiences below. 🚀 Current Watchlist: “Juvenile Justice” – a must-watch for anyone interested in the intersection of law, morality, and society. #law #juvenilejustice #koreandrama #netflix #webseries

Here's what good law looks like. Thank you Rep. Jervonte Edmonds, Rep. Vicki L. Lopez, Senator Rosalind Osgood. With this bill, says Rep. Edmonds, "We are giving formerly incarcerated individuals access to in-state tuition, instead of the double-cost out-of-state tuition, so they can pursue higher education." In other words, this bill will reduce the recidivism rate, and result in less crime and less vicitimization. It is a bill designed to give people hope and a fair chance to succeed. If you are reading this post, please watch the attached video, and please use the in-text links here to let the above lawmakers know how much you support their hard work in getting this law passed.

Today is a great day! I am excited to announce that I have passed my 3rd Law! With the help of my Senate sponsor, Senator Osgood, we are giving formerly incarcerated individuals access to in-state tuition, instead of the double-cost out-of-state tuition, so they can pursue higher education. This law has the potential to reduce recidivism and save our state millions of dollars, all while giving people a second chance. Let's continue to work towards a brighter future for all. #SecondChances #HigherEducation #ReducingRecidivism

Juvenile justice, criminal justice, and justice for all: There are many critical reasons why incarcerated youth must receive proper services… The April 29 editorial, “Special education programs shouldn’t stop at the jailhouse door,” does a good job depicting the failure to provide legally entitled education to youth with disabilities behind the walls and cites the corresponding risk of unemployment, poverty, and homelessness. Massachusetts needs to address this failure because it robs young people of their rights and imperils their future. But beyond such harms is one other critical reason why it matters: public safety. Research clearly shows education to be an effective way to reduce recidivism rates. This relates closely to another recent editorial (“State definition of ‘juvenile offender’ should follow the science,” April 24) supporting pending legislation to raise the age of the juvenile justice system so that most 18- to 20-year-olds can be served there. Does it matter to public safety if young people are served in a system designed to provide developmentally appropriate services and programs, including regular and special-education classes every school day, rather than being neglected (and too often harmed) in the adult criminal legal system? You bet it does. (From the Letters section of the Boston Globe - written by Lael Chester, director of the Emerging Adult Justice Project at Columbia University.)

A recent Ofsted and HMIP review reveals significant educational shortfalls within young offender institutions, showing many fail to provide the mandated 15 hours of weekly education. 📚 The report highlights systemic failures, with young offenders receiving insufficient educational support, impacting rehabilitation and future outcomes. This calls for immediate reforms to prioritise effective learning and support systems that can genuinely rehabilitate and transform young lives. 💻Explore our latest blog for an in-depth analysis of these findings and the necessary actions to improve juvenile justice systems.

Justice-involved individuals are 43% less likely to recidivate if they participate in educational programming. In the digital age, technology makes educational programming even more accessible. Some outcomes from using technology to invest in rehabilitation, education, and re-integration include increased self-esteem, improved connections with family and friends, and a better chance of securing and retaining job opportunities upon release. Learn more about how ViaPath is providing incarcerated individuals with opportunities to improve, develop, and grow, as well as to help people get a second chance and have hope for a brighter tomorrow.

I’m sorry if I’m being too political here but since when does what a child wear on their feet interfere with learning or indeed their level of intelligence and engagement? I understand the positivity of uniform - belonging, less risk of bullying and allowing children to be more visible etc. But why are secondary and upper schools so much like mini prisons though?? No wonder children are struggling with school avoidance! So many policies and sanctions and expectations and who is it actually for?? Not the child! So much shame and chastisement over nurture and praise and I don’t mean praise for being an exceptional student who stands out academically or gets praised for attendance (urghh). I mean praise for showing up, praise for resilience, praise for doing a good deed etc. As an adult would we tolerate being told we could only wear flat black shoes or clothes and hairstyles that give no room for individuality? No so why are we treating children this way?
