Statement “The New Jersey legislature attempted to stand up for the rights of incarcerated pregnant women, children and others by passing S51, which would have restricted the use of solitary confinement in state prisons. By vetoing this important legislation, Governor Christie has shown that he has no concern for the well-being of the most vulnerable among us. Instead of listening to the overwhelming evidence and the members of the legislature, the Governor has chosen to stick his head in the sand and pretend that the problem is nonexistent.

He once joked about the Ku Klux Klan, sayng he ‘used to think they were OK’ until he found out some of them were ‘pot smokers.’
