1997-2018, Black and Hispanic/Latinx birthing people residing in counties

severe maternal morbidity."
- Incarceration Status Among Individuals Obtaining Abortion in the United States, 2020 by Marielle Kirstein, Liza Fuentes, and Carolyn Sufrin, November, 2023

naloxone."
- Electronic Monitoring of Migrants: Punitive not Prudent by American Bar Association Commission on Immigration, February, 2024
"Electronic monitoring programs are not true alternatives to detention. They
are an expansion of detention that imposes a significant financial cost on
taxpayers and a considerable human toll on the participants and their
family members."
- Carceral Carousel by Immigrant Legal Resource Center and Detention Watch Network, May, 2023
"States have sought to reduce prison populations and close some jails.
However, those closures have rarely, if ever, meant that the prison
facilities would no longer operate as cages...these closures have paved the
way for new expansions of ICE detention."
- Under-resourced and Ignored: Indigent Defense in Schuylkill County by Wren Collective, January, 2024
"We found an underfunded indigent defense system that lacks the support for
enough lawyers to represent clients, including at bail hearings, for
immigration consultations, and adequate technology for attorneys to
properly do their jobs."

"In 2022, the county had 132 lawyers willing to take court appointments.
Now, that number is 80. Those 80 lawyers are responsible for 13,000
cases/year. There are only 8 lawyers eligible to handle murder cases, which
have a potential punishment of death..."
- Indigent Criminal Defense and Commonwealth's Attorneys by Virginia's Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission, November, 2023
"The number of attorneys serving as court-appointed defense attorneys in
Virginia has declined since FY13, especially during the last few years.

pretrial detention than white youth."
