With todays focus on ending imprisonment, we will talk for 50 minutes about how to strengthen our communities and how exactly to move towards the end of prisons.

  2. Earlier this year, as they do every year since 1979, the state of New Jersey posted a $2M bounty on Assata Shakur's head as their most wanted person.

    The US continues to this day to jail several elderly and dying Black Liberation activists of Assata's generation, she was one of the free living heroes of that era and I'm glad she got to experience freedom (albeit outside of America) for most of it.

  6. And before the phrase "a few bad apples" leaps into the comments recall that there were over 300 similar cases filed last year across WA state.

  10. Remember the "No New Youth Jail" protest in Seattle?

    Yea well we didn't need this lawsuit to know that these cops are tax funded rapist who commit more crimes than they solve.

    Only solution is to cut their budget and spend it on effective social programs.

  12. Incase you're wondering why people say "abolish prisons" this story of Jessica Brösche is exactly why.

    Obviously ICE sucks and should be abolished as well but the broader landscape of American prisons is so fucked.

    This type of treatment is common place in US jails and there are tens of thousands subjected to this bs for years, not just a week.

  17. A confronting and comforting talk by poet Saul Williams at the End of Empire Conference, 2 November 2024.

    He starts with this idea: What if we all would strike for 5 days?

  18. I know that there's a bunch of shitty white people and one "brown Palestinian Muslim woman" who are drooling over the thought of me being in jail, but in the meantime they've actually managed to get one person criminalized, to the point that person isn't likely to be released until February.

    If you're able to kick in to their legal fund, here's a link.

    Just a reminder that 81% of people in Ontario prisons have not been tried and are not in fact guilty of a goddamn thing.

  20. "I have found that state legislatures controlled by Democrats from 1984 to 2004 were more likely to build prisons. A common dynamic when a prison is being built is that Republican-led legislatures afterward pass stricter laws ensuring there will be more incarcerated persons."

    "the supply of prisons generates demand that states grow the population of incarcerated persons. In fact, our working paper suggests that prison demand is not only inelastic but drives incarceration, not the other way around. States that build more prisons incarcerate more people."

  22. The UK prison system is broken.

    And so is everyone else's.

    newstatesman.com/ns-interview/

    > The Justice Secretary, announced thousands of prisoners would be eligible for early release – after serving 40 per cent of their sentences, rather than half

    I can imagine UK judges at sentencing time: "fuck it, why bother".

    When sentences are based on how many prisoners a government can afford to keep in jail, it's a sure sign tha prison is an arbitrary, near-useless method of reducing crime.

    >Cuts and staff attrition made the job stagnant and stressful, and the toll became too heavy, says author Alex South

    > As staffing dropped, violence soared, along with riots, self-harm, suicides and murders. This went far past the point of what you might realistically expect to encounter in prison.

  25. CW: Sexual assault

    While I'm harshing everyone's buzz, please remember that making prison rape jokes about *anyone* is harming SA survivors. He's not going to see your joke, but survivors will.

    Plus, do we really want *anyone* to be raped in prison? If you do, maybe you're not as liberal as you think you are? #AbolishPrison

  29. It's likely that there are abolitionists organizing near you! Go forth and find them, join them, learn together, fight together. Let your anger, your sorrow, your fear inspire action, inspire connection.

    This work has been ongoing for ages, and continues in times when mainstream attention is hyper-focued (another police murder), and times when the popular discourse has moved on (or been buried / de-fanged / co-opted).

    This work, in all its million manifestations, in all its million local projects, is a long struggle. But also, the time to join is urgently, unequivocally, now!
