"With the law the way it is, people will continue to be put in prison unjustly," says Tina Jackson at a press conference today, who says her husband was sent to jail on a probation violation that was later dropped, and yet he still remains in jail. She spoke at a press conference today held by DARE (Direct Action for Rights & Equality) and the Rhode Island Family Life Center, near the Adult Correctional Institutions minimum security building, in response to Governor Carcieri's vetoes on a variety of prison-related bills. Among them were a proposal that would spare probationers from prison if they are cleared of alleged violations.
