LWVMA Urges Governor to Reduce MA Prison Population

Keeping people in custody under health- and life-threatening conditions is inhumane. Read our letter here, and read the letter we referenced from MA 7th Congressional District Representative Ayanna Pressley and Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins here.
