Hundreds of girls in the US are confined by the juvenile justice system for “status offenses,” like running away or truancy. Confinement for these offenses is particularly troubling because those behaviors tend to be responses to abuse. More care, less confinement.

We are not disposable or lost causes. Thank you to those who have never given up on us.

Chanel Jones, our Director of Programming, reminds us that true second chances mean leaving judgment at the door. Too many employers & landlords offer "second chances" but still hold past incarceration against people trying to rebuild their lives. We’re fighting to change that.

A reminder this Mental Health Awareness month: The US is facing a mental health crisis, both inside & outside of the carceral system. For those behind bars, all types of mental health conditions are increasingly common:

Despite what unit admin told us today, we are continuing to hear from desperate incarcerated women at the Hobby unit about limited drinking water, long wait times to flush full toilets and fights to wash off. It’s filthy & unsanitary for incarcerated women and TDCJ staff.

Incarcerated women deserve the prison agency's most diligent effort to make sure that units have access to fresh, clean water even when it's the city's fault that the water is shut off. It's TDCJ duty.

HB 3860 helps close the gap between incarceration and opportunity by allowing TDCJ to issue licenses in trades like HVAC, electrical work, and cosmetology. This bill will give individuals the tools to rebuild their lives and contribute to our workforce. #txlege

We couldn't agree more 💅🏽

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) affects nearly 2% of the general population but in prisons, that can be as high as 30%, with the highest rates among incarcerated women. To those living with BPD: you are not “too much.” Your story matters. We honor your resilience! 💜
