Prison in Yuma, located on the border in a scorching 103°desert, lost water for TWO DAYS for 4300 prisoners. This prison holds a large number of indigenous prisoners & disgustingly names its prison blocks after tribes (Cheyenne, Cocopah, Dakota). https://kjzz.org/content/1009001/water-restored-after-well-pumps-fail-arizona-state-prison-yuma

Actually, cops, unlike public defenders, make overtime, which is why you conveniently always schedule your arrests at the end of your shifts.

Oh, and we don't get paid by the case, but you do have arrest quotas, which also count towards your promotions.

So yeah, there's that. https://twitter.com/OverheardOnDuty/status/1140622039310639104

"It would also ban isolated confinement for any person under 21 or over 55 years old, or anyone with mental or physical disabilities."

So yeah.
Guards are fighting to keep youth, the elderly and peeps w disabilities in solitary.

"The legislation includes a 15-day limit on solitary confinement, which the United Nations has set as the limit for confining a person without torturing them."

"Correctional officers urge lawmakers to preserve solitary confinement options"

Guards fight to keep torture as an option.

Y’all I’m hearing Unit P-1 in Souza Baranowski has been on lockdown for over a week in Massachusetts. All of the workers quit and got lugged to segregation. The rest of the unit is not taking jobs.

We need to call the prison.

I read Playboy for the articles. “The most consistent quality among abolitionists is a deep understanding of the limits of the political universe. Instead of accepting those limits as permanent, they insist on expanding the realm of whats possible.” https://www.playboy.com/read/the-new-abolitionists

Prisoncrats biggest job is to make prisoners feel that any form of resistance is pointless, nothing will or has changed. This is why its important that prisoners are made aware of successful challenges or ongoing support and organizing based off of prisoners resistance

In Chicago, TV news media blames a weekend of gun violence on a new bail reform initiative. It's part of their habitual reliance on the Chicago Police Department's narrative for their crime reporting. @theappeal@twitter.com Media Frame. https://theappeal.org/media-frame-using-gun-fears-to-demagogue-bail-reform/#.XQQoi2MrlmF.twitter

Unlike ICE facilities, which allow site inspectors inside, there will be no inspection of military-run camps.

The military will be able to deny access to anyone it chooses. No media. No oversight.
