All prisons, jails & detention facilities generate violence & death.
They serve no other purpose.

This right here is THE. FUCKING. PROBLEM. oh, “families can sue agents who murder their loved ones” Republicans, Dems, Libertarians only see us as an economic value. we are only worth a monetary value to them. How about #AbolishICE #AbolishPrisons #AbolishPolicing this shit is fucking wild, y’all.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

The U.S. government has agreed to pay a record-breaking amount of nearly $116 million to settle lawsuits brought by 103 people who survived sexual abuse and assault at a federal women’s prison in California. The facility, FCI Dublin, was shuttered earlier this year.

Here are a few reasons why we’re holding a monthly letter writing night in Savannah, GA to connect with incarcerated people.

Let’s help them remember that they are not alone!

The entire institution of modern policing evolved from slave catchers.

Enslavers wanted everyone to pay Police to get them their "property" back.

We are all still paying for police to uphold racist billionaire's property and status quo.

Alabama voters banned prison slavery — but prisoners say it hasn’t stopped

As a lawsuit from incarcerated workers tries to stop a forced prison labor program, a beer distributor is defending its own participation www.whatimreading.net/p/alabama-vo...
In its March 2024 legal response to the allegations, Bama Budweiser does not meaningfully address the constitutional issue — whether Alabama’s prison labor system violates the state’s explicit ban on slavery. Instead, the company’s brief resorts to a series of dehumanizing attacks and dangerous arguments that seek to delegitimize the plaintiffs themselves. The brief opens by arguing that the plaintiffs “never worked for Bama Budweiser,” and therefore the claims should be dismissed. This, of course, ignores that the company has contracted with ADOC to knowingly obtain and benefit from the labor of incarcerated workers. But Bama Budweiser’s response then quickly shifts into something much darker. In one of the most inflammatory passages, the company writes: “What we have, then, are two murderers, an attempted murderer, multiple violent felons, robbers, burglars, and drug dealers. And they come into this Court complaining about having to work for a beer distributor.”

also: That people like Friedersdorf—and the entirety of the white punditry class—don't consider the exponential increase in the U.S. prison population during the 1980s & 1990s to be a form of political violence really says everything.

A federal judge just found NYC in contempt of court on 18 provisions of its obligations to make Rikers a place that meets minimum constitutional standards, and declared that she is "inclined to impose a receivership" taking the jails out of City control.

Passage from the book Freedom is a Constant Struggle, by Angela Davis Quote: " and then I realized it wasn't about me at all; it wasn't about the individual at all. It was about sending a message to large numbers of people whom they thought they could discourage from involvement in the freedom struggles at that time."

🚨NEW: Reversing *generations* of practice, the Board of Immigration Appeals gives ICE exactly what it demanded, ruling that any undocumented immigrant who entered illegally is categorically ineligible for release from detention on bond — expanding mandatory detention by millions of people.
Matter of Jonathan Javier YAJURE HURTADO, Respondent Decided September 5, 2025 U.S. Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review Board of Immigration Appeals Based on the plain language of section 235(b)(2)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A) (2018), Immigration Judges lack authority to hear bond requests or to grant bond to aliens who are present in the United States without admission.

(Unfortunately for the Black people who love prisons)

There is no way for us to be free as long as the state can permanently label us criminals by “due process of law”. Prisons are a factory for a permanent underclass.

I think the collective understanding of segregation has been skewed (def paid for by white supremacists) with an overemphasis on the phrasing and not implementation.

the goal was always a permanent underclass, not mutually exclusive infrastructure.

In-custody deaths remain mired in darkness

Jails are some of the deadliest facilities in the U.S., and they continue to operate as black holes with very little oversight from the counties and sheriffs that run them prismreports.org/2025/05/22/j...

Every city that has experimented with simply housing the homeless has found it a better solution than imprisoning people for being homeless.

And every city opted to keep prisons because it allows for legal slavery and discrimination.
