This is the first time a BOP prison has been placed under federal court oversight, & it is long overdue. FCI Dublin—infamous for its “rape club”—is a hellhole for the women incarcerated there. ktvu.com/news/fci-dublin-jud…

.@TheTajiAtkins of @GoWestfieldfb ran for almost 1300 yards and 16 touchdowns a year ago. His top-end speed makes him difficult to tackle in the open field. Atkins committed to @RiceFootball and he's our Week 2 @ParkerUniv MVP Bobblehead Recipient. #ihss #txhsfb

“Sherman said that the fact that the bill passed in the house showed that a shift in that mindset was possible, including among several house Republicans who voted for it. Empathy could be extended to the thousands wilting inside baking cells.” #txlege theguardian.com/us-news/2023…

This is heartbreaking 😢 – at Broomfield, CO
Another heartbreaking email with urgent concerns about TDCJ conditions - from the sister of a cancer patient in for a minor drug charge. “She is complaining of not being able to breath, respite requests are being denied leaving inmates to suffer extremely damaging temperatures.”
