Yesterday, the Ella Baker Center, CURB, and other allies mobilized to Sacramento with over 50 community members across California to stop the funding stream for new jails. We also presented the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) with our community recommendations of formerly incarcerated leaders to guide the reinvestment of Proposition 47 funds.

No More Jails in San Francisco! @ SF City Hall, Legislative Chamber | San Francisco | California | United States
Things are moving fast around San Francisco’s disastrous proposal to build a new maximum security jail. Last week, despite public outcry and denunciation, state officials awarded an $80 million loan to San Francisco towards financing the proposed $246 million jail.With all of the debt payments over the years, building this new jail would divert nearly $600 million out of the City’s general coffers, away from programs and services like education, mental health services, and affordable housing. That doesn’t include the costs of operating the facility — or the enormous human and social resources it … Continued
