April is Second Chance Month, a time to raise awareness about the barriers faced by returning citizens. This year marks the 15th anniversary of the Second Chance Act, which aims to reduce recidivism and promote successful reintegration (https://lnkd.in/e7vQDY8b). An eye-opening documentary I recommend on the topic of what incarcerated life is like is the hyperlocal 'Prison of Terror' (https://lnkd.in/eD7EbjtG). Yes, it's graphic. It's a great month to commit to supporting organizations that assist returning citizens, like Thrive DC. Journalism that covers the prison system is important, too: Solitary Watch | Shining Light into the Darkest Corners of the U.S. Punishment System.

A design of an act..the script is the same

In light of this, I urge the Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (@OACPOfficial) to take a bold stand on addressing the mental health of their members. The time for action is now. While we commend the ongoing efforts, it is crucial to move beyond mere acknowledgments and take concrete steps to support the mental well-being of those who protect and serve our communities. Operational stress injuries, including post-traumatic stress and suicidal ideation, are real challenges that require more than lip service; they demand action, understanding, and comprehensive support systems. Let us not forget that behind every badge, there is a human being deserving of care, support, and understanding. As we celebrate the achievements of our newest members, let's also commit to ensuring their mental health and well-being are prioritized. The journey of a peacekeeper is both challenging and rewarding, and by fostering an environment that genuinely addresses mental health, we empower our officers to thrive, not just survive. #Badgeoflifecanada #HopeGrowthRecovery #Calltoaction #PAO

"When measuring the effect that policing has on public safety, we must include the social costs of policing that make communities less healthy and prosperous. These social costs include damage to the health of individuals and communities, suppression of educational achievement, harm to economic security, and reductions in civic participation and community engagement." https://lnkd.in/e35MNkWz #Incarceration #CriminalJustice #Abolition #Police #Policia #Police #RacialJustice #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Education #Autism

Family life is a fundamental human right. In detention, visits between detainees and their families should never be treated as a privilege that can be revoked as punishment. Learn more in our Detention Focus Database: https://lnkd.in/eC2hBt2B

It was my pleasure to contribute a piece for PoliLegal - Politics, Law and Society's blog titled "Why Not Put an End to All Prisons: Situating Abolition Within the Trans Justice Movement". Here, I explore the demand for anti-carceral approaches within the Transjustice movement, with the aim of positing abolition as a viable stance that the community can adopt. You can read the blog piece from the link given below: https://lnkd.in/gxHVSeqw I'd love to hear any thoughts, comments and feedback you might have on the same. Thankyou!

So why is Israel a prosperous nation--It IS NOT for its oppression of others but for its adherence to Western principles and Beliefs. Their success outside the domination of Islam is why they are hated and opposed by the Islamic world. It is envy and hatred for a civilization far superior to Islam that lies at the heart of Islam's war with Israel and beyond the world and is now unfolding due to the Implanting of multiculturalism over the American creed in America. The American Constitutional Republic is lost if The American Citizen does not reclaim his dominant position in deciding the future of our American Constitutional Republic; in doing so, the American Citizen must bring forth the underlying principles and beliefs that are the foundation of our Western Civilization and demand that Western principles, values, and beliefs are again taught throughout our education system and that they dominate all America policymaking. The room for Ukranian flags or any other nation's flags must be forbidden in favor of America. Below are some of the principles created by our ancestors that made for our American Constitutional Republic, a Republic based on Western Principles and beliefs, the most successful political creation in humankind's history—empirically proven as Superior in developing liberty and prosperity. HANDS DOWN! It is the Western people who developed the principle of representation. Government of the people, by the people, for the people; the Western world developed the principles and practices of political liberty, freedom of thought and conscience, and freedom of speech and expression. It evolved to what we call "civil rights" that do not exist today in much of the world--go see for yourself! They were developed and sustained in the West, which, of course, just as people are flawed, so are nations. While we often fail in aspirations, we always strive for them. That is our challenge to continue to strive for a more perfect union" not to destroy the Western civilization to trade in for Islamic TYRANNY! In turn, adherence to these Western principles led to the world's most successful means of commerce- a system of free, for the most part, market capitalism that has lifted more than a billion people out of poverty. People have benefited from the Western commercial system, which improves lives worldwide. These define Western principles and beliefs that came from and were conveyed to the world by Western Man did not originate in China, Africa, or Asia, or absolutely did not originate from the Islamic Civilization and still do not. Islam denies the freedom of the individual, seeking collective obedience to the tyranny of Islamic Theocracy--totalitarianism. It is the rule of the Mullah and not LAW.
