This Leadership weekly we look at a set of movements, leaders, research, and policies pushing for the rights of incarcerated people. First, we examine how many incarcerated seniors are needlessly suffering and dying behind bars in New York—and the current movements and policies fighting to rescue them from a cruel parole system and facilities failing to care for elders’ health. Our next two features consider two crucial justice fights for the incarcerated: research calling for systemic decrease of women’s incarceration rates, and efforts to extend labor rights to incarcerated workers. Lastly, we turn to a visionary proposal for a world without prisons.
