Recent Hunger Strikes Highlight Need to Improve Detention Centers - NAM
"Let’s make it clear – a detention should never amount to a death sentence," said a statement from New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, the bill's co-sponsor, along with New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. "These legislative initiatives will help reinforce what our great country has always stood for: liberty, the rule of law and basic human rights.” I don't think I could have said it any better than the senator did!!!!!!
I do hope this reform gets underway nationwide and not just in new jersey.they have 7 centers there!
