🚨What the Texas snow & power outages mean for incarcerated people. Just in from a man caged pretrial in Harris County:

"No power since Sunday night/early Monday. We didnt get dinner last night. Its freezing. They put on a movie instead of dinner. How does that make any sense?
“We asked for extra blankets. They said no. We got a PB & J at 4:30 a.m. today. Not sure if we will get any lunch. Commissary orders go in on Thursday for Friday delivery. No hot water either.”
Can you please deposit some funds so we can buy food? We'll be praying for y'all. I know it's bad out there too." 

The cruelty with which we allow our leaders to treat human beings who happen to be incarcerated is constant & perpetual in this country. In a pandemic. In the cold.
If you’re moved to help, please visit @TxJailProject. They are a trusted & extraordinary organization. Work closely with them. They have already deposited over $600 for commissary & phone calls over past couple days. Please give here: https://donorbox.org/texasjailproject
