This week, I Am My Sister’s Keeper goes behind the walls and behind the halfway house doors with updates involving federal and state facilities, staff accountability, contraband investigations, lawsuits, and continuing oversight.

🚨 SPECIAL FSA ALERT: We’re also breaking down the new September 30, 2026 FSA Time-Credit rule and why people still incarcerated, living in an RRC/halfway house, or on BOP home confinement need to pay attention to their FSA calculations.

Families deserve information. Incarcerated people deserve a voice. And accountability should not stop at the prison gate.

Become a paid subscriber for $5/month for deeper halfway-house updates, guideline changes, advocacy information, templates and resources beyond our Friday edition.

Knowledge is power. Being silent accomplishes nothing.
