Albion is an industrial complex. They are dying from OD’s more than COVID.

That is purposely done to keep us separated from our loved ones

Please know that your visits boost the morale of the women. They are proud to report on them. THANK YOU.

You are threatened to be put in SHU by some CO’s because you ware talking too loud, smh that ain’t right

That's right Donna!

Elder Parole s.15/A.3475

Fair and Timely will save lives....incarcerated lives matter!

^^^^^

COVID has created the very worst conditions behind bars for mothers.

Breakdown of the family structure which leaves the children to fend for themselves

Don’t let NYS deny our children of their future , PASS OUR BILLS, stop the generational curse

Let’s do it!

15 hours would cause him to cause another scandal

We can ask our lawmakers who visited if Albion had hot water...

There is a deep connection between the allegations against Cuomo and his broken promise to grant clemency to incarcerated victims of gendered violence.

Thank you as my bonus daughter said, If she could get dental care she can live without hot water. It shouldn’t have to be a choice

Thank you in behalf of Prison Families who are doing their time on the outside.

Yaaas, Barbara when our loved ones are in prison we are in prison and this is HELL, prison is the PANDEMIC

Thank you for speaking out Ms Lee!

Thank you prison families anonymous for supporting all of us! Families are impacted!

Bless you all returned to fight for the ones you loved and left behind

As a practioner we are grateful for your perspective on Bedford AM Reyes!

Thank you AM Reyes, we agree!

And infested with mice

No masks for weeks on end.

Mice are committing suicide it’s so bad

They are the source of a lot of ilk behind the wall

You hit it right on the head, they were told to reuse the mask by flipping it over

The feedback we’ve received from folks captive in Rikers has unanimously said officers don’t wear masks, no social distancing is in place, and officers frequently ‘forget’ to provide clean masks for inside folks

They are isolated like in she, wee used to be able to visit and take them to the yard but they stopped that. They are very lonely and depressed

They need hope and the confirmation that they are not forgotten about- PASS ELDER PAROLE, FAIR & TIMELY PAROLE Free Ms.DeJesus, Marguerite Bork, and others

Thank you Assembly Member!

CLOSE RIKERS it is an ALCATRAZ

thank you

Thank you

Thank you AM Reyes for your fight, just keep flexing

We appreciate you as the only man in the room, thank you for caring about our sisters behind bars AM Meeks!

Bless your queens to have a king to stand up for them and show compassion for the struggle

Families and loved ones are treating horribly often when they visit.

There are welders there in Albion, when they come home they can’t get that job

over 2 years to see the GYN, this is inhumane.

Speak the truth!!

the welders was upsetting to see- knowing what an amazing career that could be

Period Justice doesn't happen behind bars

I have to supply my daughter with PADS

Dentists pull teeth, they don't do fillings

I sat in a dark solitary cage and felt completely abandoned. To know that there is someone who is advocating for you, is the difference between life and death. Thank you to all our elected officials for making these visits and restoring hope.

Trans people are treated so horribly behind bars, thank you for raising this AM Meeks

That's right, I had a tooth pulled that could have been a filling.

We are so sorry for your pain Marvin, we are grateful you are with us now.

They keep placing this person in SHU, from Bedford to Albion and will be returned to Bedford and placed in SHU

Thank you Assembly member Meeks, you saw the truth and know the challenges women face in prison. We appreciate your support

Thank you Assembly Member Meeks for your advocacy and diligence

I’m the one who is grateful for this space and comrades

That's so true Priscilla

AM Meeks, GOD bless you up here in WNY

Albion has the highest rates of abuse of women by officers

This is Klan Country, the conditions in Albion are not conducive to rehab. It is an Industrial Complex, a warehouse for slaves who make 60cents and hour to make grills, bottle hand sanitizer and other products that NYS Gov. brags about

They withheld napkins on purpose to be punitive.

Thank you Eileen for speaking out. That’s so terrible what they did to you.

Unthinkable that they recycle the period stained underwear to the transponder people, now that’s disgusting

Carceral facilities are truly not designed to see if you can be rehabilitated. They are designed to see if you will die.

*transgender

Agree Donna!

YEs we need to pass Fair & Timely and Elder Parole THIS SESSION

This is all so inspiring and moving, thank you all so much for sharing and advocating for our women

Our ILC leaders are being retaliated against for speaking out against the injustices. We need to protect their freedom of speech

I love you Blue.

We stan and love you Anitria <3

There IS strength in our numbers! Advocacy is a long process and it can be heartbreaking at times because it does take decades at times to get to our goals. I've been at this work for over 35 yrs. So trust me when I tell you it is SO worth it to hang tough~WE CAN DO what we need to. XOXO ❤

Christine, you have a testimony, thanks for the encouragement

Visiting supports mental health!

Yaas, Serena

Deb Pretlow, bring her home! Linda Alfini too! Marie Arena!

Joan Suarrcy age 71. Antoinette Baldasari age 73.

So amazingly poignant, Anitria!

Very inspirational for those unaware of what goes on behind those walls

So powerful Anitria thank you!!!!

Substance abuse programs behind bars are not available in a comprehensive way.

<3<3>3 Anitria, stay well and safe beloved

THANK YOU BLUE

Thank you blue
