FAMM to host Facebook Live session with Florida House members Dianne Hart (District 61) and Anna Eskamani (District 47) Thursday, April 16

TALLAHASSEE – FAMM is hosting a Facebook Live session with Florida House members Dianne Hart (District 61) and Anna Eskamani (District 47), as well as FAMM’s President Kevin Ring and Florida State Policy Director Greg Newburn to discuss the COVID-19 crisis in Florida’s prisons.

The question-and-answer session will be held Thursday, April 16 at 2 p.m. on FAMM’s Facebook page, and allow the public the opportunity to ask questions directly to lawmakers.

For nearly three decades, FAMM has united the voices of affected families, the formerly incarcerated, and a range of stakeholders and advocates to fight for a more fair and effective justice system. FAMM’s focus on ending a one-size-fits-all punishment structure has led to reforms to sentencing and prison policies in 6 states and is paving the way to programs that support rehabilitation for the 94% of all prisoners who will return to our neighborhoods one day.
