I haven't had much time to post the past couple of days (thanks to Bill Newmiller for posting during that time!) because my son came down with a throat infection and had a high fever. In the heat of the Caribbean, that's a hard thing to deal with. Mommy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa all had to take turns holding him because he just wanted to be held. At 7 months old, very scary! But I'm happy to announce, I woke up this morning to a giggly, smiley little boy and now have a moment to get you some Sunday Sites.
This week it's going to be prison-related organizations.
Fortress Innocence Group - The Fortress Innocence Group was formed by Martin Tankleff, Jay Salpeter, the private investigator who fought for his innocence, and others, in the fight for justice. Fortress reinvestigates cases in which there is no DNA, but compelling evidence of innocence.
Prisoners of the Census - The Census Bureau counts people in prison as if they were residents of the communities where they are incarcerated, even though they remain legal residents of the places they lived prior to incarceration. As Census data is used to apportion political power at all levels of government, crediting thousands of disproportionately urban and minority men to other communities has staggering implications for modern American democracy.
Prisoners of the census examines a once-obscure Census Bureau glitch that undermines our democracy and suggest workable federal, state and local solutions that would reduce the harm caused by the Census Bureau's prison miscount.
The November Coalition - Working to end drug war injustice, the November Coalition, a non-profit grassroots organization, was founded in 1997.
American Correctional Association - The American Correctional Association is the oldest, and largest International correctional association in the world.
