Is there such a thing as a “good” jail? Treating people humanely often isn’t a priority when governments build jails, where most people are pre-trial and presumed innocent.
Since it opened in 2002, St. Louis’ city jail has consistently failed to meet standards set by federal courts and its own policies. Activists @archcitydefenders@actionstl@fccstlouis have called on city officials to dramatically reduce the CJC’s population — so that fewer people have to endure those conditions.
Meanwhile, prison and jail architect Kenneth Ricci of Nelson Worldwide has advocated for what he calls “humane design.” Here’s a look at what that means.
Tune in next week for Jails 🔓 Part 3.

Across the U.S., jails are very, very, VERY dark. They have policies that require access to natural light and fresh air, yet jails routinely deny people awaiting trial access to these basic rights.
Sunlight deprivation causes a myriad of serious issues: high blood pressure, osteoporosis, an increased risk of diabetes, depression, sleep disorders and more.

It is JUNE!!!☀️ which is good because May did not go so great! Here are some things that happened since we last chatted:
— I turned 26!!
— a tornado destroyed my apartment👎🏾
— I moved (kinda) to the Midwest (critical prerequisite for said tornado 🌪️🏚️)
— I went to Berlin, only to discover that the Berlin Forest is actually in LA!! So had to go there too 🌴
— aaaand I also moved (kinda) to NY, to fulfill my 2025 resolution of lovin’ the homies ❤️
P.S. I drink white wine now, guess I was always destined to become my mama 🥂💅🏾
P.P.S. swipe to end to see a 90 year old QUEEN 👵🏾
