Ending poverty, free education, mental health care, gender-based violence programs, and new schools are ideas proposed by incarcerated individuals in Illinois instead of rebuilding prisons with $900 million.
Deadly conditions like toxic water and extreme temperatures are highlighted in Illinois prisons, with a tragic case of an individual dying due to excessive heat, emphasizing the urgent need for change.
Calls to close aging and toxic prisons across the country as opposed to building new ones show a shift towards investing in social programs and addressing deteriorating prison conditions.
