AB 965 HAS PASSED ASSEMBLY APPROPRIATIONS!
After a huge effort by our members and organizers inside and out, along with our cosponsors and allies, we have got AB965 out of appropriations and off suspense. However, it was amended to only affect youth offenders and not people eligible for elderly parole. Next step - Assembly Floor!

Shout out to Arts in Corrections veteran photographer, Peter Merts, for his amazing photography. Much love to all the homies on Echo Yard at Donovan for looking so pretty and pouring their hearts out into the music they created, and mad respect to Alpha yard last night for rolling with the minor setbacks and truly making the first week of the new cohort one for the books. SO MUCH TALENT!!! Link to entire shoot in bio and here: https://petermerts.com/galleries/30_prison-art/389-songwriting-at-rj-donovan/

The closing of another successful 10-week song-writing program on 2 yards at RJD. These 10 weeks were particularly trying and they taught us all a lot. A 150 man-riot in February broke up the first half of classes, causing us to lose students. It was a war zone that sent a number of our students to other facilities, placed some in the SHU and another was left in a coma. You could sense the tension in the air the first week back after all the chaos. At the end of the 10 weeks the experience definitely solidified some connections across racial lines and created a camaraderie that could have only been facilitated through heartfelt music. Once again, music prevails.

After 20 years, Richard Mireles is home from prison. He was one of the earliest Initiate Justice Inside Organizers, a student, a teacher, a facilitator and creator of amazing programs including one that trained and certified incarcerated people as drug and alcohol counselors. Because of #prop57 he was able to earn a year off his sentence and come home last Wednesday. Welcome home, Rich.
There is no justice in punishing people and their families for a lifetime.
