📸 Inside the Prison Walls: The Moment That Wrecked Me- https://mailchi.mp/4b77a732eaae/from-steel-doors-to-sacred-ground-5841312 I invite you to read these powerful updates from inside the Mississippi prisons.

There are iconic movie scenes that drive home the stereotype. Morgan Freeman‘s Red dealing ci******es in “The Shawshank Redemption” may be the ultimate example of the trope — packs of smokes are gold in prison. But ex-cons in New Jersey say inmates aren‘t dealing in Marlboros and Camels these days. Their currency of choice? Bottled water.

It’s thanks to putrid stuff pumping through the pipes in at least several of the state’s correctional facilities, and a limited supply of taxpayer-funded bottled water to go around, ex-prisoners and prison reform advocates say.

“The water stinks." a former prisoner said. “...You could tell how bad the water was when it was still. If you left a cup of water sitting, it would have a film on the top.”
