New Living Conditions Make It Difficult to Give Gifts This Holiday Season

LogoThere can be no doubt that gift giving this year is different than any year that has been previously encountered. The world has endured monumental change due to the effects of the Corona virus. We have encountered a huge uptick in online shopping, lengthy delays in shipping and delivery and unprecedented restrictions on family gatherings like never before experienced. The world has changed in how they will fill their Christmas shopping lists and how they will deliver those gifts to everyone that they love. Along with this is the fact that change is difficult, even when manageable. These changes also affect the millions of family members who desire to give a gift to their incarcerated loved one.

It Is Here, the Time to Give to Those Who Are Hard to Buy For

LogoBlack Friday Is just around the corner and a majority of holiday gifts will be bought in a matter of minutes. Then every day after that most people spend their time on their list of those who are hard to buy for. The quiet dads, working moms and everyone else who makes our gift buying process difficult. Those who are most difficult are the friends and family members who are locked away in prison . There are many different prisons around the country and each one has their own set of rules when it comes to what can be received by those inside. There is no set standard in print anywhere that can guide those on the outside, so they can know what is expected.

The Approaching Holidays Make Us Think of Giving to Others

LogoThe holiday season is probably the most difficult time that anyone can spend in prison locked away from their families. Incarceration doesn't change the need for emotional connection or the desire to give to loved ones. It does, however, create a difficult problem for families to face as they enter into the gift-giving season. Throughout America, and especially in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, gift-giving has been made easy by online shopping and the many methods of delivery and shipping that has been perfected in the last nine months. In spite of all the advancements, the task of giving a gift to, or receiving a gift from a prisoner has grown more difficult.

The Most Vulnerable People of Our Modern Age Are Those Who Are in the Care of Those Who Victimize Others

LogoThe #MeToo movement continues to show its strength as it takes on its greatest foe, abusive United States government officials. In recent years the #MeToo movement has become well known in many American communities. Its effects have been widely noted in the entertainment industry from Los Angeles, California to New York City, New York. Recently, the movement has been reaching for justice on behalf of those who have been victimized by United States government officials. Those who are victimized simply because they are easy prey due to being weak or different.

LogoIn today's trying times the people most forgotten are those who are incarcerated. But American prisoners, just like all of us, seek a way to stay connected in a time of social distancing. Once again a way has been made to do what seems to be impossible. That's bringing the outside world to those on the inside.

Is Liberty and Justice a Matter of Color in America

LogoIn recent years, law makers have been addressing the racial imbalance in the application of the federal drug laws. That means that people of color who are arrested today face a more lenient criminal justice system than those who came before them. The unfairness, however, did not stop with the federal drug laws. Court records also show a huge disparity in the application of the federal gun laws and the laws that govern post-conviction relief as well. This means that black people, who are now serving illegal sentences must remain in prison simply because they are too black or too poor to afford an attorney-even those who are actually innocent.
