My brother died because of jp
Tabbitha supported: Demand Investigation and Accountability for Deaths Inside JPSO JailAs a Virginian I am ashamed that our state treats humans in this inhumane manner. No one should be treated like the prisoners in Red Onion.
Pamela supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonAbuse of the imprisoned abuses us all. Humanity means solidarity & human rights for all.
Richard supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonEven 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.
Shana supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonToo 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.
Crystal supported: Investigate Self-Harm Episodes and Improve Inhumane Conditions at Red Onion PrisonBecause 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.

Rachel supported: End the Suffering: Demand Life-Saving Treatment for ALL Inmates in KYI 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!
Anton supported: End the Suffering: Demand Life-Saving Treatment for ALL Inmates in KYI 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.
