> When mothers visit their children in juvenile facilities across California, they must pass through x-ray machines, scanners, drug sniffing dogs and, in some cases, humiliating strip searches, only to be denied an opportunity to hug their child during the visit.

@thefinalstrawradio @abcbelarus

A great show and an important topic. I find the local and international perspectives particularly enriching. I myself was in prison for a while and precisely because I am familiar with the situation in prisons, I experience it as painful not to be able to change anything structurally.

When friends and comrades suddenly find themselves behind bars, I experience it particularly painfully today, as a former left-winger.
Sometimes I feel exhausted, but the (care) work must also be done.

Practical solidarity is essential: writing letters, visits, demonstrations and talking again and again about what is going on behind the thick prison walls.

A little advertising at the end: on October 26th there will be live broadcast here from Freiburg (south west of Germany), in connection with the A-Radio Days.

Solidarity and warm greetings.
