mfigueroa+FollowMentally Ill Man Convicted Over Unpaid Car InsuranceCan you believe a guy got a criminal record just for missing his car insurance while he was hospitalized for a mental health crisis? His parents even hid the car to keep him safe, but the court still convicted him—without even reading his letter explaining the situation. The system’s supposed to handle small offenses quickly, but it’s missing real-life context and compassion. Now, there’s talk of reform, but nothing’s changed yet. Wild, right? #Health #MentalHealth #JusticeReform2112Share
Steven Smith+FollowPrison Sentence Broke Him—Now He’s Finally SafeImagine being locked up for stealing a phone, told you’d be out in 2 years, but a decade later you’re still there—no end in sight. That’s what happened to Thomas White, whose mind unraveled after years under an indefinite IPP sentence. His family fought for 6 years to get him out of prison and into a hospital. He’s finally getting care, but the trauma runs deep. Wild that these sentences still ruin lives even after being banned! #JusticeReform #MentalHealthMatters #PrisonReform #Health20Share
shermandarlene+FollowCancer Patient Convicted Over Car Tax?!Imagine battling cancer and then getting a criminal record for forgetting to pay your car tax. That’s what happened to a woman in Newmarket, thanks to a fast-track court system that doesn’t even let prosecutors see personal letters explaining situations like hers. Now, there’s a push to change this flawed process, but some big players (like the BBC!) are resisting. It’s wild how many vulnerable people are getting caught up in this mess. Would you support reform? #JusticeReform #CancerAwareness #CourtSystem #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Ryan Mathis+FollowCleveland exonerees reclaim their stories on stageSix men who spent years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit are stepping into the spotlight at Playhouse Square’s Mimi Ohio Theatre this Friday.

These men, mostly Black, are using art to share what was taken from them in courtrooms, hoping to spark real change. It’s a rare chance to hear firsthand how broken the system can be—and to talk about what needs to happen next. #Entertainment #Cleveland #JusticeReform00Share
