This is important:
This morning, Ayanna and Rep. Grace Napolitano called on the National Institute for Mental Health to study post-traumatic prison disorder:
We know that incarceration is inherently damaging to mental health.
Research into post-traumatic prison disorder is a critical step that would help inform responsive policies that support formerly incarcerated people as they reconnect with their families and communities. To help people who live with the disorder, we have to understand it better.
We need a paradigm shift — away from the current mindset of relentless punishment and incarceration and towards a system based on restorative justice and decarceration.
Thank you for being a part of this movement to recognize every person’s innate humanity and address the trauma of mass incarceration.
In solidarity,
The A-team
