Think about this:
— Iowa is 90.7% white
— Iowa is now the only state with a lifetime voting ban for people with a felony conviction
— Black people make up 4% of Iowa's population but 26% of its prison population
How is this representative of our electorate?

Feinstein pushes ICE to consult 'qualified experts,' reconsider detention standards: "The new standards permit ICE to use '‘hog-tying, fetal restraints, [and] tight restraints,'...and allow ICE 'more discretion' to put migrants in solitary confinement." buff.ly/3858hL6 pic.twitter.com/y7vIKvuU3M

At last count, about 1,300 Texas prisoners had been in solitary for six or more years.
More than 450 had been in solitary between six and 10 years.
And 18 prisoners have been in solitary for more than 30 years—since George H.W. Bush was president.

Solitary confinement can have life-long consequences for a person’s mental health, making it that much harder for them to thrive in their communities post-incarceration. If we care about addressing the mental health crisis that plagues our society we must pass #HALTSolitary now. pic.twitter.com/9KoyOLPSwg

For-profit prison company CoreCivic is asking an appeals court to rule that a federal law banning forced labor does not apply to immigrant detainees. The company is accused of threatening to put detainees in solitary confinement if they do not work: courthousenews.com/private-prison…

Solitary confinement is cruel and ineffective. SB832 would curtail the practice in PA. Grateful for the support from PA Council of Churches, @prisonsociety and @SenatorHaywood as we continue the fight for criminal justice reform. pic.twitter.com/87UfJNKr30

This is Massachusetts. This is what it looks like when prison guard unions have too much power and your blue state has one of the most draconian solitary confinement policies in the US. This is what it looks like when you local electeds don’t regularly visit prisons. #mapoli twitter.com/plsma/status/1…

The people trapped in their cells for days in the D.C. Jail will undoubtedly be relieved to hear that what they are experiencing is not actually a "lockdown," but rather a "routine security inspection." buff.ly/31hsXwB pic.twitter.com/DpWECv6WZc

ICE has quietly lowered standards at 18 immigration facilities in Texas, giving guards more leeway to put migrants in solitary confinement, and removing language preventing officers from using “hog-tying, fetal restraints, [and] tight restraints.” texasobserver.org/ice-immigrant-…

BREAKING: HB 1284 to end the use of solitary confinement in Virginia's state prisons passed its House subcommittee tonight on a historic 7-1 vote!
Solitary confinement is torture and does nothing to keep people safe. It's time Virginia did away with this inhumane practice.
