Hey, hi, I'm Jayel! I'm a justice-impacted BIPOC enby held hostage by the Department of Corrections in Florida. For now, this feed references my blog, Concertinawired.com, where I talk about prison and reforms.
When I am not busybusy (which I am much of the week), I plan for reentry, both short term and long term. One of the things I do is contemplate housing options for myself.

Yeah, it bruised, but it was okay.
