1. With reproductive rights, healthcare, and the criminal legal system all likely facing regressive and tumultuous change in the coming years, Julia and I wrote about the intersection of these systems with a focus on cervical cancer. medpagetoday.com/opinion/second…
Fulton must be made to deal with its inefficient legal system and incompetent carceral leadership - Atlanta just not enable their expansion and scapegoating of “space” as the problem. Atlanta must repurpose ACDC and cannot continue this lease or sell the jail.
A damning new DOJ report says people at Atlanta's Fulton County Jail are routinely brutalized and sexually assaulted. People with mental illness, people perceived as gay or transgender, and children are at the greatest risk of violence. theappeal.org/doj-finds-depl…
Everyone in Atlanta should read this article and contact the Mayors office. Drop the emergency procurement process and approve PAD funding now!

Many thanks to Dr.@mspencer22 & colleagues for honoring me as one of their new Advisory Board members for the new @EmoryUniversity Transitions Clinic Pilot Program. The clinic will be examining & attempting to address the medical & mental health needs of formerly incarcerated.
🚨NEW: Research shows that higher medical copays block access to necessary healthcare behind bars – leaving an already vulnerable population worse off. Does this look like a system that cares about making people better? prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/08/2…
Does pretrial detention deter crime? No. Does it encourage court attendance? Nope. Does it ensure justice? Also no. It has the opposite effects, generating life-threatening consequences after just 1 day behind bars. My latest for @prisonpolicy prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/08/0…
🚨HUGE WIN: Fulton County is scrapping its $2 billion plan to build a new jail after mounting pressure from advocates. wsbtv.com/news/local/ful…
