For those interested in theatre in prison-- guess what? In Italy I listened to a band made up of former prisoners and correction officers. Unheard of in the states!

From Italia, with Anita, actress who works with prisoner and who will translate my speeaches. What could be more healing for me than thinking about the amazing work prisoners do behind bars and in the free world.

Parole Preparation Project in MA gets people inside prison ready for parole and is a boon for those who don't have lawyers. Today they had a fabulously fun fundraiser

Went to a #WorkersOverBillionaires event today in the red red town of Pelham, New Hampshire. Fifty folks and it was great to stand up for justice. For your files @maddow.msnbc.com !

One person brought her own boombox and played music for the gang, a megaphone and a Palestinian flag to boot.

Quick recap of US Supreme Court's major criminal justice opinions for 2024

Interesting that the Supreme Court--the most conservative court in history--has ruled this year for the defendant and against the state in 10 of these cases
