"The apartment project is designed to provide people who were formerly #incarcerated or #homeless with low-cost #transitionalhousing as well as education and job training opportunities...Rent for the four-bedroom units would cost $600 a month per person while the studio and one-bedroom units would be slightly more expensive and available to people as they start to earn more money. While living at the apartment, residents would have access to free transportation to and from work, job training and education programs and financial literacy programs.."

@shlepcar I remember my mom telling me about the kids from #tuleLake playing #football against the kids from #alturas, and I remember having my mouth washed out for using the n-word before I knew what it meant, but I don't remember my mom telling me that the kids from tule lake, some of whom lost their lives fighting in @WorldWarii, were #incarcerated wrongly. And I wish she had.
I think she assumed I would understand, because she hated the #incarceration, but I think that though I understood, i, and the rest of my early 60s late Boomer cohort, would have benefited from having it spelled out.
When I feel #old, it's because I realized that so many of these people have already died and apologies are too late. Making #amends? Too late.

#Children of the #Incarcerated.
There is no single story that describes what it is like for a #child to have a #parent who is #incarcerated.
The experience depends on diverse factors, including the quality of the parent-child relationship prior to incarceration, the degree of household stability following the incarceration, and the child’s age, individual personality and others.
That being said some International human rights advocates have called #parental_incarceration "the greatest #threat to child #well_being in the #US. As of today, 1 in 28 children in the United States have a parent behind bars. For African American children, that number is 1 in 9. The #average term being served by incarcerated parents is 80 months.
Each year the number of children with incarcerated parents continue to #grow as a result of the record prison population in the #United_States. On this edition of #Inside_Out we talk to Shaquille Mualimm-ak, from #incarceratednationcampaign.org about his experience coping with having a parent behind #bars. We also sit down for an in-depth conversation with Author and Professor Alan Singer & talk about the causes and effects of having a parent incarcerated.

Let's be very clear. #Trump is threatening #violence if he is #convicted and #incarcerated. He is threatening to unleash his #violent #cult members on his perceived enemies, and the nation, if he is held accountable for his #criminal actions. This is textbook #stochasticTerrorism.

I watched someone with a balloon of drugs in them fool the multi-hundred-thousand-dollar scanner here. Fantastic.

During my first years in prison I was always tense. Now I can take a nap on the bleachers while hundreds of basically strangers yelled and played basketball in the same room.
#prisonlife #incarcerated #adaptation
The week before I was taken to the hole, I saw a C/O get beaten up, staff spraying tear gas at an inmate that wouldn't give up a cell phone (which got all of us) and enjoyed being held in the gym for 10 hours while they trashed our block.
