NEW: Across the country, states have shuttered their youth prisons in recent years as research shows they aren’t effective at helping kids stay out of trouble after release. Tennessee is building more. https://www.propublica.org/article/juvenile-crime-decrease-youth-prisons-tennessee-construction?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mastodon-post#News #Tennessee #Children #Prison #Crime #CriminalJustice #Data #Research

Across the Country, Youth Prisons Are Closing. This State Is Building More.

Tennessee officials say they need more high-security facilities for kids who commit crimes. Experts say this approach flies in the face of crime data and research that shows youth prisons are not rehabilitative.

"Everyone deserves to see the sky and breathe fresh air. But the Allan Government’s No Air in Prison Bill seeks to stop people behind bars from having at least one hour of fresh air each day in prison. This is a cruel attack on basic human dignity that will disproportionately harm incarcerated First Nations people and other people stuck in solitary confinement. The Allan Government must stop shrugging off human rights responsibilities that are meant to protect us all and should abandon this Bill."

This #Court case from #Wales #UK clearly shows the difference in #sentencing where a #vehicle is used as a weapon to deliberately injure or kill someone following an argument, as opposed to deaths/injuries caused by "normal" road traffic collision (charges are #murder and #GBH with intent rather than causing death / injury by dangerous driving) #law #CriminalJustice #drivinghttps://www.itv.com/news/wales/2026-07-03/19-year-old-who-took-nitrous-oxide-and-drove-into-woman-jailed-for-her-murder

The court’s ruling came after a 2025 Verite News and ProPublica investigation examined the reliability of the key forensic evidence used to convict Duncan.

He Was Convicted Based on Allegedly Fabricated Bite Mark Analysis. Louisiana Wants to Execute Him Anyway.

Nine prisoners have walked free after evidence presented by members of a forensics team turned out to be wrong — yet one man still awaits execution based on their testimony.
