I believe this is the first coverage to acknowledge that Lurie’s budget seems to treat a “temporary” new jail as permanent

“representatives from the People’s Budget Coalition lined the second and third floor balconies of City Hall’s rotunda. They held yellow posters reading ‘No new jail! No cuts!’ referring to the continued funding for the jail annex in San Bruno.”

Hundreds protest S.F. budget cuts, packing City Hall chambers

Protesters unfurled banners in the San Francisco City Hall rotunda reading "Stop cuts" that were quickly taken down by sheriff's deputies.

BROOKLYN JAIL STOP WORK ORDER
Since NYC power brokers have decided that they would rather build jails to lock up New Yorkers than invest in our communities, we’ve decided to issue our own stop work order on the Brooklyn jail construction site.

We clogged the locks of construction site entrances with cement, smashed their card readers

The proposal for a new jail is almost certain to come up in the next Macomb Board of Commissioners meeting, and it feels somewhat surreal to be on the same side of an issue as an "anti-tax crusader" like Leon Drolet, albeit for very different reasons.

This is where city gov’t wants to doom our neighbors & loved ones for years while they build a superficially nicer version of a torture chamber. Shame on @NYCMayor, @NYCMayorsOffice, @NYCSpeakerCoJo, and @NYSDOCCS — #CloseRikersNow #NoNewJails

“A teenager locked up in the notoriously brutal Rikers Island tried to hang himself but had 2nd thoughts midway & tried to save himself. Correction officers saw & stood by for 7 minutes. The teen is now in a coma with no brain activity. https://t.co/4wu8xwmPHy #ShutDownRikers”
