CT's DOC Commissioner has the power to:
release people the state is holding pretrial for certain offenses on conditions set by the DOC
release people for medical and compassionate release (something seldom used now)
use a racial justice lens in discretionary releases ...
...create a real COVID response plan that includes releasing people, protecting people who remain inside, uses a racial justice lens
set the tone by using humanizing language (example: to stop using dehumanizing terms in press releases about people who die in DOC care) ...
...connect people at the ends of their sentences with support services + support policies to invest in those reentry services
provide opportunities for education, services, and growth during incarceration ...
... improve access to *affordable* *private* communication between incarcerated people and their loved ones
fund physical + mental healthcare for incarcerated people
advocate for policies that help incarcerated people, not just the DOC's staff and budget ...
... and support closing Northern Correctional Institution and reallocating the money saved into support programs and services for people harmed by incarceration.
The DOC Commissioner has the power to do all of these things, if they choose.
Prisons are - brutal - costly - traumatizing for incarcerated people - unhealthy - harmful for families, communities, and economies. The DOC Commissioner has a role to play in ending all of that -- if they choose.
Racial disparities in CT prisons are among the worst in the country. Because of systemic racism, Black people in CT are 9.4 times more likely, and Latinx people 3.91 times more likely, to be incarcerated than white people here.
CT has made progress toward reducing the number of people it incarcerates. But it has made NO progress toward eliminating racial disparities in incarceration. That was true before the pandemic. It's true now. The DOC Commissioner has the power to help change this, if they want.
Whoever becomes the next DOC Commissioner, that person MUST publicly commit to prioritizing decarceration and racial justice policies. The legislature, whose job is to interview and vote on the nominee, must do its part to set that expectation.https://www.acluct.org/en/news/next-doc-commissioner-must-commit-decarceration-and-racial-justice …
