In this week’s State of Criminal Justice we’ll cover drugs flowing into Rikers Island jail, a man freed from prison after languishing for decades, and the police beating a disabled man and stealing his prosthetic leg. In our New Ground segment, we’ll discuss advocates posting cash bail for Black mothers while they work to abolish the system. PushBlack exists because we saw we had to take matters into our own hands, especially when it comes to protecting our communities. As a nonprofit, we rely on small donations from subscribers like you. You make PushBlack happen with your contributions. Most people do 5 or 10 bucks a month, but everything makes a difference. Thanks for supporting the work. Donate Here: https://stateofcriminaljustice.com  Drugs Make It Into Rikers Despite No Public VisitsDespite rules prohibiting visitors and pandemic shutdowns, drugs got inVincent Simmons Is FreedNew evidence casts doubt as a man is freed after decades behind barsPolice Beat Disabled ManAssaulting a disabled man doesn’t protect and serve anythingBail Funds Fighting BackBlack families have a resource in these important organizations
