imfemalewarrior:jooshcognito:scarletswalking:refinery29:This judge had exactly the right reaction to the shameful way nonviolent prisoners are treated in US jailsA woman was denied pants or tampons after being arrested for not completing a diversion course that was part of her sentencing from a shoplifting charge. But see how the judge reacts when she finds out that the prisoner’s humiliating treatment is apparently routine.Gifs: Raw LeakWATCH THE VIDEOThis is why it’s so important to vote for your local judges after doing a minimal amount of research. Most people just pick whatever judge is there or has a funny name, but this woman is changing the way prisoners are treated and she was voted in by the county. Always do your research before voting for judges, but don’t discount it as unomportant. You may need someone like her on your side one day. The correct response to a human rights violation. This judge is a good model to follow. She is using her authority and power to make positive changes where she can, and is so far not abusing those things for her own gain at the cost of other people. -FemaleWarrior, She/They -- source link
