Instead of New Facilities, California Should Send Prisoners Home - The Appeal

> This is what normalization means to the CDCR: Instead of sending people back to their communities, the state is spending millions on new buildings, and accessibility for incarcerated people is unclear at best.
> This new building complex serves mainly as an expensive rebranding effort to make California prisons appear less inhumane after decades of cruel and dehumanizing treatment.

"The truth is that helping people heal and transform their lives so that they might return to society will reduce the size, power, and scope of CDCR. This should be considered a metric of success. Massive corrections budgets are not based on successes, but past failures."

CA Should Send Prisoners Home Instead of Spending Millions on New Facilities

A new facility celebrated by Gov. Gavin Newsom will disrupt prisoner-led programming and normalize our captivity.

"CDCR is currently spending hundreds of millions of dollars to maintain thousands of empty beds and multiple empty prisons rather than diverting those funds toward rehabilitation and getting people home to their families."
