House Bill 1616 establishes an oversight body for Missouri prisons that is independent, responsible to incarcerated people and their families, and fully staffed and funded. This bill will be heard in the House Corrections and Public Institutions Committee next week, and our legislators need to hear that Missourians want accountability and transparency for the Department of Corrections.

Oversight makes our communities safer, improving the lives of those who live and work inside correctional facilities, and reducing recidivism. Please use this form to urge your Missouri state Representative to vote yes on independent oversight of the Department of Corrections to improve prison conditions and save tax dollars.
