Latest Posts on NARSOL.org Ramos v. Louisiana: new and fairer trials for hundreds convicted in Oregon and LouisianaBy E. King Alexander, Jr. . . . Amidst intense political concern about the fate of Roe v. Wade (1973) particularly, and that of stare decisis (binding precedent doctrine) generally, the Supreme Court’s April 20 decision in Ramos v. Louisiana (6/3, majority opinion by Gorsuch) directly affects only criminal jury trials but also at least hundreds of felony convictions, albeit in just two states, Louisiana…Read more Should “criminals” be left in prison to die of Covid-19? Some say yesBy Sandy . . . “Prisoner release schemes,” pronounces the heading of a piece by Stacy Washington in a Project 21 publication, “are total nonsense.” In this opinion she is joined by many state officials who, in spite of dire health warnings from the medical community, severely limit those eligible for early release or compassionate release to escape the almost…Read more “I saw only the same quiet, gentle face I knew” By Mark Thompson . . . My 77-year-old father is a quiet, gentle man, well-respected in the community, so we were all surprised when he was seen open-mouth kissing an 8-year-old in the backyard, in full view of neighbors and the kitchen window. What would cause him to do a thing like that? The victim’s parents called the police, who…Read more Covid-19 and polygraphs When NARSOL’s New Mexico affiliate Liberty and Justice Coalition discovered that the DOC was still requiring persons under community supervision to travel to a central location, often by public transit, and take a polygraph exam, they sent a cease and desist letter to the Corrections Department. LJC subsequently discovered that in-person sex offense group treatment sessions were also still being…Read more A battle for all of us By Brenda . . . Today I cancelled a membership for a state member, at his request. Cancellations happen, and we don’t question, grateful for whatever they have been able to give. But this time, we got a little note along with the request. [Your] actions have never been in accordance with my goals, which is freedom from the burden…Read more “How much shame and suffering are enough?” Editor’s note: This was a reply to a recent blog post on our site. After communicating with the author, the decision was made to post this as a separate blog entry. The writer wants to be known as a daughter who promotes kindness. By Jill . . . I want to thank all of the volunteers who are affiliated with…Read more What keeps us safe? It’s sure not the sexual offense registry Published 4/16 at Life on the List By Sandy Rozek Sex offenders have always been with us. Those who are convicted of committing rape and sexual assault and child molestation have always been punished and then released into the community. They were not registered. They did not have to “check in” with law enforcement once they were no longer on…Read more 2020 conference cancelled — webinar to replace it Good morning; we know that you have been waiting for official word of the status of our 2020 conference. We wanted to wait until plans were solidified as much as possible before making an official announcement. We are now prepared to announce that we will be having a truncated conference in way of a webinar. The dates are Friday and…Read more Important info about stimulus checks Valuable information is shared via NCRSOL: https://ncrsol.org/2020/04/02/do-you-qualify-for-a-stimulus-check/ Additionally, the following memo is shared with us by Derek Logue: Since many of us work in groups that assist registered persons, it is important to pass along information about the COVID-19 stimulus checks. The only requirements for getting a check is a valid social security number, being at least age 18, not…Read more Humans on the Registry Phil L. I am 35. At 23 I took a plea deal and was given a suspended sentence, spent 1.5 years in jail and then began probation. The first hurdle was making sure my son could live with me as his mother …Read more Featured Podcast Registry Matter - Bashing Liberals Please note: Registry Matters is NOT a NARSOL project or entity.
