The drive was long, but smooth. We stopped to get quarters along the way, for the vending machines. Some prisons don’t allow money inside, so I thought maybe this facility was more relaxed than others I’ve been to. I was wrong. 3/

I have been thinking about the woman who was turned away because of her keys, and the fact that she must now go a month before seeing her own loved one. For what? There is NO reason. Other than keeping people in their place. 14/

This is a thing that always gets to me after visits: It’s not just the trauma for those inside, but the endless harm to those who try to maintain connections to loved ones. Most people don’t have the resources to just adapt; to try again next time. Families become fractured. 15/

Boarding a flight so I’ll leave it here but: It’s moments like these when I feel most overwhelmed by mass incarceration. This was 1 day, in 1 prison, in 1 state in this country. We have built a vast machinery of cruelty and called it justice—and we’re all diminished by it. 16/16

I was denied a visit to a dear friend after I made a 6-hour drive to the prison because I was wearing an underwire bra. Such bullsh*t.

Yep. A friend had the same problem. Went out to her car and used nail clippers to cut out the underwires.

Corrections facilities are a casually indifferent place. They are, quite literally, concentrations of the worst society has to offer. Everything ugly no one in society wants to deal with concentrated in one spot.

I'm not talking about inmates here either.

As a 30 year defense attorney I cannot agree more. Correctional officers love to assert power over attorneys. Sometimes it's subtle, often it's simply cruel.
