- You may be binge-watching @OITNB right now and I hope you can’t stop thinking about the characters and their stories. The last 10 years since my memoir was published have been crazy and instructive, and I want to offer a few reflections. #OITNB #OrangeForever #FreeHer
98.3% of killings by police from 2013-2020 have not resulted in officers being charged with a crime.- This is enraging & outraging. Books are a lifeline to the outside world & a prisoner's future.

- System that privileges some people' safety & freedom over other people's safety & freedom can't be called a justice system #BlackLivesMatter
- Replying to @Piper.@OITNB has created a real Poussey Washington Fund benefiting these incredible organizations. @AntiRecidivism @MigrantFreedom @ImmDef @ANewWayofLife1 @thecouncilus @ccf_ny @WPA_NYC @unprisonproject 4 of them are led by women who survived prison.

- We don't say #OrangeForever for nothing. @Lavernecox has been nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series at the #Emmys! #OITNB

I tweeted about this a few days ago, now here's a full story exploring it for @MarshallProj, with @schwartzapfel themarshallproject.org/2020/03/06/whe…
