**PERSONALIZE YOUR MESSAGE-IT WILL HAVE MORE OF A CHANCE OF BEING READ THAT WAY. BUT HERE ARE THE MAIN POINTS BELOW:

Please support HB 46, HB 84, HB 234, HB 248, HB 325. These are all important bills that are crucial to reform a deeply flawed criminal justice system.

TALKING POINTS ON HB46 (provided by the ACLU)

Pretrial incarceration destroys lives, weakens communities, and wastes taxpayer money – with no benefit to public safety.

House Bill 46 would protect Louisianans’ constitutional rights and improve the functioning of the justice system by limiting the amount of time the state may jail a person without criminal charge.

This is a common-sense bill that will help prevent needless jail stays, strengthen our communities, and save taxpayer dollars.
