It’s such an honor to be invited as a Commissioner to this Women’s Justice Commission. Finally some heavy hitting attention and ACTION to the over-incarceration of women. #GenderMatters
Today CCJ launched the Women’s Justice Commission, a national, nonpartisan panel led by former U.S. Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch and featuring 15 other leaders plus Senior Adviser @OkFirstLady Sarah Stitt. Meet the commissioners: counciloncj.org/womens-justi…
What a wonderful opportunity to come to my hometown of Tulsa as a commissioner for @CouncilonCJ to highlight the work of @FCSTulsa and Women in Recovery!
CCJ's Women's Justice Commission concludes a successful convening in Tulsa today, with visits to @GreenwoodRising and @FCSTulsa's Women in Recovery program. Grateful to @gkff and our funders, and WJC Senior Adviser Sarah Stitt (@OKFirstLady) for the warm welcome to Oklahoma!

It was a pleasure to provide my expertise to the @AP on this developing story. My heart goes out to the community and families affected by this tragedy. 12newsnow.com/article/news/n…
I’m a big fan of VGK having relocated to SLC from Vegas, but the Las Vegas Aces WNBA team was the first major sports championship in Vegas in 2022. The Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup in 2023. Let’s not forget Women’s sports please! @bellefraser1 #everyonewatcheswomenssports
Incredible! I’ve trained a lot of POs in my time, but I distinctly remember training Angel on the WRNA a few years ago because she was so stellar! @gcu @maricopacounty news.gcu.edu/gcu-news/after-…
It was wonderful to be a part of the discussion. Thank you for organizing!
Thank you to our moderator and panelists–Stephanie Kennedy, @CrimeGenderProf, Marium Durrani, and @DrAlexPiquero –and to everyone who attended this important discussion on domestic violence policy and data. Stay tuned for a recording of the webinar.
What an incredible scholar. He led such a fascinating life. I used to assign his book The Lucifer Effect when I taught crim students. wlwt.com/article/stanford-ps…

It was a real pleasure to hear @JohnLeverso speak about his research on how gangs utilize social media and its relationship to violence. Our team @utahcrimjustice brought him in as our keynote for a statewide juvenile justice conference and we couldn’t be happier!

The chair of the CCJ Women’s Justice Commission, former U.S. Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch, and its director, Stephanie Akhter, spoke with @cjnorwoodwrites at @19thnews on the group's recent launch and what they hope to accomplish with their work: 19thnews.org/2024/07/womens-…
Watching my husband go through a PhD program reminds me how much we brutalize students in the name of “learning”. The pain and suffering is so unnecessary and heartbreaking to all, including the partners and family members in supportive roles. All it does is breed resentment.

CCJ's Women's Justice Commission kicked into gear with an inaugural meeting in NYC this week! Former U.S. Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch chairs the group, which includes Harris County @SheriffEd_HCSO and 14 other ideologically diverse members, led by Director Stephanie Akhter.
Melissa McKee walked out of prison 7 years to the day of giving her graduation speech for her Masters degree from @EvergreenStCol. This is a leader to watch in criminal justice reform, and currently is crushing it at @CSGJC

How is ‘justice’ executing a human for whom there is DNA evidence proving innocence? Mercy. We must do better. Be better. Please act now - see the original post for ways you can help!
"To date, no court has ever reviewed the DNA evidence proving [Marcellus Williams' innocence]. Yet, the State successfully sought an execution date, highlighting the system’s emphasis on finality over innocence. That is not justice," wrote his lawyers. innocenceproject.org/stop-th…
