Life in prison w/out possibility of parole (or Death By Incarceration) is costly financially & morally, counterproductive & cruel. People can change & must be given opportunity to prove it. #abolishDBI #dropLWOP #AbolishJLWOP #ParoleJustice #elderparole
Life & other long prison terms have led to large numbers of elderly people in US prisons, increasing prison costs & requiring care for advanced medical needs of older incarcerated people. #abolishDBI #dropLWOP #AbolishJLWOP #ParoleJustice #elderparole
Life in prison w/out possibility of parole (or Death By Incarceration) is costly financially & morally, counterproductive & cruel. The fact that people can & do change is proven time & again. #abolishDBI #dropLWOP #AbolishJLWOP #ParoleJustice #elderparole
