When she was 15, April Barber Scales was convinced by the man, twice her age, who had impregnated her, to set her grandparents’ house on fire. Her grandparents died, and Barber Scales received two consecutive life sentences without parole. In 2022, she had been in prison for 31 years when under a clemency program for juvenile lifers established by then North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, she was released. Since then, she has completed an associate’s degree and is now finishing a bachelor’s in criminal justice. She works, volunteers, studies, and thrives. @bolts reports on other successes from the program, and how those who remain in jail hope it continues under the governorship of Josh Stein.

“The main threat associated with prepaid SIM cards is #anonymity,” says a document obtained by @statewatch and one cannot make one's disdain for #humanrights any clearer.
