There’s also not enough food. A 2020 study by @impactjustice.org found that 94% of incarcerated people surveyed said they did not receive enough food to feel full. More than 60% said they rarely or never had access to fresh vegetables. www.themarshallproject.org/2025/03/08/f...
Prison Food Is a Growing Billion-Dollar Industry. Many Meals Are Inedible.

In California alone, nearly 40% of incarcerated women are experiencing or will soon experience menopause, with far too few resources to support them. This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re proud to be working alongside a group of exceptional women to bring these experiences into the spotlight.

It remains possible AND necessary to uphold the humanity of people impacted by our criminal justice system — especially now. The safety and dignity of our incarcerated neighbors depends on it.
