The Litmus team, in partnership with @the_wji, has developed resources for @IDOC_Illinois to allow the public and policymakers to interact with data on prison and parole populations. These include an online Indicator Tool and a Women’s Data Dashboard. marroninstitute.nyu.edu/blog/litmus-cr…

I had a great time at the Holiday Pop-Up hosted by @ArtsPrison, @MomsUnitedChi, @the_wji, and Real Youth Initiative! The event featured formerly incarcerated artists and was a beautiful way to support families experiencing parental incarceration during this holiday season. #JEO

“For each woman, support from other women who have been there has been key to getting back on their feet. For example, the Women’s Justice Institute sponsored Brown’s furniture shopping at the Chicago Furniture Bank.”#wttw @BrandisFriedman

Thank you, WJI Reclamation Project Director Colette Payne, for relentlessly teaching, leading and inspiring…

Colette Payne spoke last night. I'll never forget what she said. "It took me a long time to accept that I was beautiful." You could see emotion hitting the crowd like a stone skipping across waves. Colette touched grace, then passed it around. #CorrectiveClemency
