Hey, hi, I'm Jayel! I'm a justice-impacted BIPOC enby held hostage by the Department of Corrections in Florida. For now, this feed references my blog, Concertinawired.com, where I talk about prison and reforms.
In this Concertina Wired short, Xial takes aim at "Make America Healthy Again" and how it doesn't seem to apply to anyone in the prison system...
