Even the healthiest prisons can be torturous to inmates, but the conditions these inmates are forced to endure is horrendous. It’s so sad that multiple men would rather burn themselves alive. It doesn’t have to be this bad.
Too many of us consider the *horrors* we hear about prisons as a part of the punishment for crimes. As if the *sentencing* people are assigned by our justice system is meaningless. As if these unspecified and infinite tortures are required for real punishment.
Punishment beyond sentencing makes a mockery of our whole system.
And we all know it's happening.
We just figure it's wrapped into how the justice system works.
We're walking around believing that off-the-books-violence and torture are *normal* and *right.*
It's not right.
And it shouldn't be normal.
It shouldn't EVER happen, let alone be so normalized only a couple people I know will do more than shrug about this.
This has to change.
These are real people.
This is beyond unacceptable.
Because I was in prison b4. And I've seen alot n how staff treats imates. Once your in there hands. They love the control and the abuse. Mentally and physically. Please help these people. Just because there inside those gates and have to wear chains n shackles. There still humans. And staff should not get away with abusing anyone.
I did it I actually had a cousin die from a overdose in prison so this really means a lot to me..and I just had another cousin pass away Saturday we just had his funeral it was a overdose as well so thank u for ur work
I signed because it’s outrageous that people in Kentucky are being denied access to life-saving treatment! Providing MAT for all inmates isn’t optional—it’s essential to stop overdose deaths. It’s time for Kentucky to step up and do what’s right!
I signed because everyone deserves access to life-saving treatment, and providing MAT for incarcerated individuals is essential to reducing overdose deaths and breaking the cycle of addiction.
