Hey Whatcom County!

Because of the newly proposed jail, the WREC has recently reached out to Prison Policy Initiative, a criminal justice non-partisan non-profit, to see if we really need a bigger jail and this was their response!

There’s so much more to learn about the jail proposal, and how we can best serve our community, so if you want to learn more please check out the QR code at the last slide or the memo in our bio!
