just thinking about how sanitation workers have saved more lives in one single year than the police ever have in hundreds of years of existence and you don't hear them whining every day about not having the respect of the public

After roughly 25,000 unredacted death records from 2019 to 2023 were made available online late last year, The Marshall Project checked them against independent sources on in-custody deaths, including news reports and academic research.
We found at least 681 deaths missing from the federal count.

We don't talk enough about how any contact at all with the criminal punishment system can destroy your life. The arrest, the court dates, missing work and other associated costs etc... People who aren't proximate to this really have no idea.

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

A truly distressing offer from Bukele. Transnational prisons are a troubling “solution” in any case, but it is all the worse when the host country is known for deplorable detention conditions and no respect for the rights of detainees.
