We're thrilled to have helped Hank Green of VlogBrothers, Kurzgesagt, and Visual.ly produce this amazing under-4-minute video
about Mass Incarceration in the United States, our "massive $75 billion dollars per year failed experiment."
Maureen Turner of the Valley Advocate has published a great new overview of the movement to bring down the cost of calls home from prisons and jails.
She details both the national and the Massachusetts campaigns for lower phone charges, and interviews one of the local sheriffs, the Prison Policy Initiative, and Massachusetts state advocates. Of particular note is the section on the Hampden County jail, the subject of a video we made explaining that the jail charges one of the highest kickbacks in the country.
Our work is made possible by private donations. Can you help us keep going? We can accept tax-deductible gifts online or via paper checks sent to PO Box 127 Northampton MA 01061. Thank you!
