🧵This weekend we’ll be talking about bail in Texas at #TribFest22. To ground our comments, we’ll be sharing stories of community members in Smith County whose stories illustrate the cruel consequences of wealth based detention in everyday communities across the state.
Today we’d like to talk to you about Karen R., from Smith county. Karen is an elder Smith co. community member who, two years ago, was fighting stage three breast cancer when she was arrested and kept in jail because she couldn’t afford $165.
Karen’s continuity of care - both for cancer and her mental health - were cruelly and devastatingly interrupted by her unconstitutional confinement because she was too poor.

I'm counting down to #TribFest22 because I'm excited about all of the panels and speakers, but also (really!) because I can't wait to get a cinnamon roll from @TheDriskill. Bring a friend, they're Texas-sized ginormous! Image
The last time @1lisameid & were there we interviewed the baker and found out that they laminate the dough (like a croissant). Just saying, make room in your schedule for one of these and you're welcome. 🥰
Also, TribFest weather 😩 these temps plus humidity. Image
