Huge thanks to Tom Innes, our Chief of Prison Services and Advocacy Unit, for testifying at City Council in support of a new Prison Oversight Board for Philly! Grateful to @nicorourkephl, @cmthomasphl, and all @phlcouncil members who co-sponsored this vital legislation. ✨
If passed, this board will help protect the health and safety of both incarcerated individuals and prison staff who face daily challenges from understaffing and resource limitations. ⚖️

📢 Exciting news! Two new #JuvenileJustice laws, SB 169 and SB 170, are shifting the focus from punishment to rehabilitation for our youth. These reforms are all about building brighter futures, not prison cells, and equipping young people with the tools they need to thrive.
Huge thanks to @JayCostaPA, @SenatorBakerPA, and @GovernorShapiro for their leadership in making these changes a reality.
