The Place 4 Grace, and SJRA-The Advocate.
Fast 4 Freedom is: a day of fasting throughout the vast network of
California prisons to remind legislators how hungry we all are for a just
and equitable change in the State’s approach to public safety.
Bloated by a failed policy of mass incarceration and laws such as Three Strikes and
Mandatory Minimums, California’s prisons are filling at a far greater rate
than even history’s largest prison expansion project can meet.
Too many lives are wasted in a system that refuses to utilize prevention or
rehabilitation. California’s problems can only be
solved through proper funding of education, community resources and prevention/intervention programs.
We must fund communities, not cages, and begin a true effort in maintaining public safety for all Californians.
**We are planning a NATIONAL DAY OF FAST 4 FREEDOM in the Fall to call attention to the need for NATIONAL PRISON REFORM**
