NAACP Visit on Behalf of the Black Prisoners Caucus

5/27/2019

1 Comment

 
In April, NAACP President and Prison Chair Denise Ransom met on behalf of the Black Prisoners Caucus at the Monroe Correctional Complex to connect with the organization and build relationships to support their vision and mission.     
On May 17th,  the NAACP met with Mike Obenland, Superintendent of the Monroe facility (pictured, with NAACP President Sadiqa Sakin, right, and NAACP Prison Chair Denise Ransom, left), to begin open dialogue on behalf of the Black Prisoners Caucus as we move forward and advocate for issues and topics that are important to their organization. The most-urgent agenda item of discussion was the ability for prisoners' families to be able to come up for an annual Juneteenth celebration. The Black Prisoners Caucus does have various topics they're passionate about and formed committees which include Education, Legislative, Health and Family.  ​

Next month, a meeting will be held with the Department of Corrections to continue to build relationships and bring important issues and topics to the forefront.

Please contact me to discuss this. I was trying to advocate for this as an employee there in 2017 and 2018. I would love to work with you all as a former corrections Officer. I can give insight.
