Breaking: The Banner has learned that a 35-year-old Dundalk man died while being detained at Central Booking on Sunday, but corrections department officials have released few details. The man's brother says his family is trying to figure out what happened. w/ @Dylan_Segelbaum
Years ago, Md. officials turned to a law firm known for defending Deep South prison systems to help get out of a legal battle with the ACLU over Baltimore jails. Nearly $800,000 later, the results haven't been great, and 2 of the attys on the case just admitted to using ChatGPT.
New DPI Report Examines the Legacy of Roper v. Simmons and Its Implications for 18- to 20-Year-Olds in Death Penalty Cases deathpenaltyinfo.org/news/new-dpi-r…
SB 1507 passed overwhelmingly! Brings independent oversight to Dept of Corrections, an important step to bring accountability to a $1 billion Dept. that has caused much needless suffering and death over the years. Thx @FAMMFoundation, @thedreamcorps, @AtacOrg for your advocacy.
NEW: Arizona denies condemned man Aaron Gunches' request for witnesses at his execution azcentral.com/story/news/loc…
On International Women’s Day, we call for an end to torture, ill-treatment, and all forms of abuse against women and girls, particularly in places of detention and closed institutions. Their rights and dignity must not be ignored any longer. #InternationalWomensDay

New: A federal judge on Friday ordered Maryland to turn over records that could shed light on how often people with severe mental illness are getting out of their cells at Central Booking. He also rejected Md.'s choices for independent medical monitor. thebaltimorebanner.com/community/crim…
In one of the most significant moves against capital punishment, President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 prisoners on federal death row to life without parole. @WmBrangham speaks to @Robinmaher for more.
@DavidCFathi More soon! And please give this one a read: businessinsider.com/deliberate-ind…
If prisoners encounter conditions that are "inhumane, unhealthy, dangerous, or even lethal," @DavidCFathi argued, "that should be enough to violate the Eighth Amendment — you shouldn't have to go looking for someone who was thinking bad thoughts.”
Our second story is out, about one of the major obstacles facing incarcerated plaintiffs: the Prison Litigation Reform Act, intended to curb what legislators described as "frivolous" suits. We found the law has instead stymied claims alleging serious harm. businessinsider.com/plra-frivolous…
NEW: Who does the Maryland AG want evaluating healthcare in Baltimore jails? The state has put forward three doctors who have ties to correctional healthcare corps and its hired private law firm, which gained notoriety for defending Deep South prisons. thebaltimorebanner.com/community/crim…
These doctors defended Alabama and Louisiana prisons. Maryland wants them in Baltimore. buff.ly/407kgUH
