As a Congressman, I made reducing recidivism a key goal and sponsored legislation to move us in that direction. In fact, I hired someone who had been incarcerated for years on drug charges on my staff. — PolitiTweet.org

As the superintendent said, “Few will hire the formerly incarcerated, despite good words to the contrary.” With scarce jobs, and those that are available at inadequate pay, the path to addiction is too readily open, again. — PolitiTweet.org

Opioids are one of the greatest challenges New Hampshire faces — and obviously many users end up in prison. They do an excellent job in detoxing those incarcerated — however, the challenge, as explained, is when they re-enter society. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Given a division of approximately 20 personnel, they were more apt to build a cohesive network built on teamwork and mutual respect — because they focused on relationships and trust. Therefore, we rated them higher as leaders because of the better performance of their divisions. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I believe this is why women were being rated higher than men when we began to have them aboard combatant ships in the Navy as junior officers. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I saw the importance of that sharing network among the incarcerated women who were not just speaking with each other, but also playing cards among themselves. https://t.co/WQrYSOkXUM — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
This is important because successful re-entry programs for men focus on personal self-worth; but the most effective recidivism programs for women focus upon the value of worth they get by sharing and being part of a network that builds trust. https://t.co/7cSQHmElgI — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
As the superintendent said, the facilities in his prison are very similar; however, the difference is that women share. https://t.co/MRwhZASFl7 — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I then went to the women’s wing. What you’ll see there is that correctional facilities for women are so often badly-designed, as are re-entry programs — too often built for men. https://t.co/mB2dS0Vkke — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I also visited the maximum security wing — and sat down with prisoners to hear their stories. https://t.co/wSkAcglU1K — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I had asked to meet veterans who were incarcerated there. They’ve all served their country, and while they serve their time in a correctional facility, we should ensure that they get the recognition for having served, and a second chance as they re-enter society. https://t.co/0XXg6EfIvd — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
As Rick van Wickler told me, it’s all about creating an environment of openness and incentives for good behavior while in prison, and giving people opportunities when they get out. That even includes the architectural design of the facility. https://t.co/8ofaBItybq — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
While it focuses on incentives and disincentives for managing behavior, it shows respect to detainees and gives them opportunities to reintegrate into society. https://t.co/oS2Iq5Vrcf — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I was so honored to visit Cheshire County’s Department of Corrections and be shown around this unique facility by Rick van Wickler, the superintendent. It’s a place with pragmatic progressive practices that other facilities need to replicate. https://t.co/tBtMaSiLjE — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
It is imperative we increase investment into infrastructure immediately. https://t.co/udSP65MFn7 — PolitiTweet.org

Third, we should provide more adequate tax credits and deductions for family members who provide care for their elders. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Second, we will adjust the formula for work visas for those who care for our seniors. We should let more homecare workers into America when there are not enough homecare workers here already. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
First, we should raise the minimum wage to give in-home workers a step upwards, recognizing the dignity they deserve for caring for our elders. [This would reduce the amount of government benefits we are already providing many of these workers.] — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
As Hubert Humphrey once said, a key “moral test” of any government is how it treats “those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly.” We need to make sure seniors can depend on quality healthcare, financial security, and freedom from abuse and neglect for their golden years. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
I introduced and passed through the House the first Elder Abuse Victims Act in 17 years. If the Senate had passed the legislation, it would have corrected failures in state elder abuse policies and established a Center for the Prosecution of Elder Abuse. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
As the 65 population grows from 40 million today to more than 70 million in 2030, these problems will only compound if left unaddressed. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Seniors today are living with an increasing threat of elder abuse, a shortage in long-term care availability, and funding problems with Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. — PolitiTweet.org

In Keene, NH. Some thoughts on social security and seniors. https://t.co/jITHyWbovD — PolitiTweet.org

The poorest Americans should have their daycare subsidized completely, while those in the low-to-moderate income bracket should only need to pay a modest fee. Imagine how much more productive our nation will be once this important change is made. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
Our military child-care is the best -- bar none -- with civilians paying twice that of our military families. I have a plan to ensure that all families can afford daycare. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
During World War II, 6.5 million women joined the labor force, and 12% of them had children less than 10 years old. 130,000 of their children who were provided government-subsidized child-care centers grew up to have higher earnings and higher employment and need less welfare. — PolitiTweet.org
Joe Sestak @JoeSestak
In 2017, we had the lowest birth-rate in 3 decades, and when asked why they aren't having more children, most say they cannot afford more children, with child care costs being the biggest expense. It wasn't always this way. — PolitiTweet.org
