But first, your local headlines:
Monroe County Community Justice Response Committee
At the Monroe County Community Justice Response Committee meeting, Care Not Cages member Micol Seigel said she wants to see the committee make the current jail livable and up to constitutional standards.
Director of Focus Initiatives Justin Huerta described his experience in the prison system for minor drug charges. He said that he doesn’t believe locking people up is the answer.
President of the Monroe County Black Democratic Caucus Nicole Bolden criticized the committee’s conduct during recent meetings, particularly the way Sheriff Ruben Marté and Monroe County Council member Jennifer Crossley have been treated.
Next, the Monroe County Commissioners shared their goals and vision for the committee. Commissioner Julie Thomas said she wants to provide better treatment and reduce recidivism in the criminal justice system.
The C-J-R-C will host their next meeting at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, March 20th.
