Just a reminder that according to justice & traditional Christian teaching, food is a human right to everyone (based on being human, not meeting some criteria for being "deserving") in a society like ours that can easily afford it. https://t.co/wp0erGUwAi https://t.co/VCwRY32Q2o

Have prisoners grow their own food and pay back the taxpayer for the initial investment into farming supplies and materials. This should be feasible in minimum-security facilities, even if there are concerns about them stealing tools to make weapons. Or theys hould be doing some sort of labor to repay the taxpayer.
It is our duty to respect the humanity and dignity of incarcerated people, even those justly imprisoned for serious, even heinous, crimes. This is the teaching of our religions and it is sound morality. It is no insult to the victims of their crimes to treat them humanely. https://t.co/0ooHcJGjJ0
