Now is the time to pass independent prison oversight in Arizona 📢 With growing bipartisan momentum, Senate Bill 1507 is moving forward thanks to bold leadership from champions like Sen. Shawnna Bolick, who said it best: “We’re making sure that those prisons are safer for not only our correction officers and staff who are there, our communities, and the people who are actually incarcerated.” SB 1507 establishes an Independent Correctional Oversight Office: a vital step toward bringing more external transparency and accountability in Arizona’s corrections system. Recent deaths inside Arizona prisons, which are now under legislative investigation, underscore the urgent need for independent oversight. 📣 Join us in urging lawmakers to get this across the finish line.
