Great news, John –

Thanks to Gale’s hard work and advocacy, the Dignity for Incarcerated
Primary Caretaker & Parents Act was JUST signed into law by NJ Governor
Phil Murphy! Now, incarcerated parents and primary caretakers will be
sentenced to serve terms in facilities closer to their children, making it
possible to remain as active a parent as possible from behind bars.

becoming law!

Last year we talked about passing 20 Dignity bills in 20 states. Thanks to
New Jersey Dignity Ambassador Gale Muhammad, we’re now more than halfway
to our goal.

We fought for more than two years to pass this bill in New Jersey. The new
law will help close the intergenerational cycle of incarceration by
keeping families closer together. The fight to end the incarceration of
women and girls is ongoing, but as Gale puts it, every step along the way
makes a big difference.

“Families impacted by the criminal justice system deserve accessible
visitation rights, meaningful resources, and compassionate guards that
can facilitate visits. These new policies will be key to helping women
and families impacted by mass incarceration receive the adequate
resources for a successful transition to nu-entry.”

parents, children, caretakers, and the ones they love in New Jersey.

In strength & solidarity,
The #cut50 team
