"We Are Striking a Blow at the State:" The Alabama Prisoners Work Strike
"We see work strikes as a weapon to be used to hit 'em where it hurts. There are many different strategies and tactics that prison rebels use, and work stoppages are just one of them. We organize around the knowledge that prison is slavery and super-exploitation of our labor power. Work stoppages are often violent due to the arena and conditions that prisoners are forced to maneuver in.
Prisons are, by nature, violent places. The guards are armed to the teeth with pepper spray, batons, sticks, knives, handcuffs, gas, and guns, and they use extreme violence as a mechanism of control. Moreover, organizers of work stoppages must navigate the different groups: gangs, shot-callers, influencers, and dope boys—and believe me, each of them has their own agendas."

"It’s been more than three days since Texas prisoners across the state began a hunger strike to protest indefinite solitary confinement, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice has confirmed at least 72 people are still starving themselves.
An activist working with the protesting men believes the number is closer to 120, down from the more than 300 she estimated began refusing food on Tuesday. Striking prisoners are medically evaluated daily, and doctors can force feed a prisoner whose condition worsens, according to prison spokesperson Amanda Hernandez."

"The strike has now entered its third week, and at least five facilities, each with around 7,000 prisoners, continue to participate. Alabama Department of Corrections (ADOC) has punished prisoners by drastically reducing their meals, essentially attempting to starve them off the strike." #PrisonStrike #ShutDownADOC2022 https://itsgoingdown.org/statements-alabama-prisoners-strike-third-week/

The warzone is in every city and state: the front lines are in amerikan jails, prisons, detention centers, in the criminalization of poverty and homelessness.
Everyone taking sides on #Iran but when it comes to battles for freedom in the US, which side are you on?

"Everyone is refusing. Southerners,crips,bloods,woods,Asian, everyone"
They want their jobs back and PCs not be allowed to prepare or possibly sabotage their food.
All Corcoran 3C is surviving on one sealed "bag lunch" per day: bologna sandwich, 6 oz milk, fruit

Important story.
Good work by @[email protected] on the largely unstudied and unrecognized reliance on prisoner labor for public works projects and maintenance.Poor rural counties basically forcing prisoner labor to combat austerity.
