Asylum seekers beaten & arrested today be Mexican police. They report they were told they had no rights b/c they are not in their country of origin. There’s almost no media covering this as Trump manufactures a #FakeNationalEmergency #CaravanaMigrante is a humanitarian crisis

Mass incarceration doesn't effect just the millions of men and women physically in the prison. Its long arms suffocate the entire family. What services are there for these forgotten people? The mark of a felon can be placed on mothers, fathers, and most undeserving, on children.

Got a 1st hand account of Kamala Harris defending CDCR when they were sued over indeterminate SHU terms. Her office argued that solitary confinement *didn’t exist* in California..

Feel free to “keep an open mind” tho smh

Nearly 300 people went on hunger strike at a California state prison after being on lockdown for over three months. They're asking for programming and education, visits, phone calls and canteen access. I wrote this: https://theappeal.org/corcoran-state-prison-california-hunger-strike-lockdown/

"To actually be long-term lifers and face that level of helplessness, that’s why so many prisoners find it so easy to go on hunger strike and devour themselves in an act of resistance. … There’s nothing left,”

When Riker’s Island was opened in the 1931, it was heralded, by social workers and others, as the most modern institution in the country...fast forward to now with its impending closing , NYC is proposing new jails that I bet will be “heralded as the most modern institutions”

Many of our members are banned from visitation as well.
These systems of violence defend themselves defend themselves against scrutiny over all else.

Thirteen people have died by suicides in Alabama prisons within the last 14 months, with six occurring since November 2018 but yet we are having a press conference about building new prisons? Talk about deliberate indifference. #alpolitics

Hungerstrikers "have skipped meals out of frustration over a range of issues, primarily the quality of their food. The strike began Feb. 1 and continued through at least Monday afternoon"

Riot broke out in Mexican shelter in Piedras Negras where 1800 migrants from the last caravan are fenced in.

Some yelling: ‘we are hungry’ ‘let us out’.

The Secretary of Public Security for Coahuila told me it’s only about 100 people with ‘an agenda’ doing the rioting

“Basically, prison staff are prosecutor, judge, jury, everything. If a [correctional officer] wants you to go to solitary, you’re probably going to go to solitary.” http://bit.ly/2GpMymB

"The yard is a very stressful place,” Junior said. “We live on a day-to-day basis not knowing if you will be the next one to be thrown out into the next gladiator match for the guards’ amusement.”

Keep in mind also that colonialist systems have always operated by establishing a privileged class among the colonized who benefit from their willingness to cooperate w/ the colonizer and serve as a buffer between the ruling class and the oppressed masses. 5/

"We directly observed that the feeding tubes attached to their noses appear larger than typical feeding tubes, and the men described them as hard and painful. They bleed profusely from their noses during feedings."
