AQS Inmate Call ·

2025/03/01

I have discovered some areas in which the state government is weak. Its citizens can keep the DOC (Department of Corrections) accountable. The incarcerated population, along with their supportive relationships, social media, and the news media, should fight for the rights of both their loved ones and people in prison whenever the DOC rejects the rule of law and does not follow their own policy.
