Today in Labor History July 4, 1977: The George Jackson Brigade planted a bomb at a power station in Olympia, Washington, in solidarity with a prison strike at the Walla Walla State Penitentiary. They were a revolutionary group founded in the mid-1970s, based in Seattle, named after George Jackson, a prisoner and Black Panther who was shot and killed during an alleged escape attempt at San Quentin Prison in 1971. The Brigade was composed of both communist and anarchist veterans of the women's liberation, LGBTQ and Black Nationalist movements.

A #racketeering #conviction would have carried the most serious potential #incarceration time for #SeanCombs, with a maximum sentence of up to life in prison. Convictions for the counts of #SexTrafficking by force, fraud or coercion – one for Ventura, & one for Jane – would have each carried a statutory minimum sentence of 15 years & up to life in prison.

"These questions, combined with a murder that tore into my own family, inspired me, several years ago, to volunteer to witness an execution—one of 13 carried out at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, during the final six months of Donald Trump’s first term." —Elizabeth Bruenig for The Atlantic

Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience
"Our artwork and culture is somehow revered on the international stage and high enough for an exchange at that level, but yet, we're the most incarcerated people on the planet.”
"Since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, Indigenous incarceration rates have more than doubled, and deaths in custody have continued to rise."
"It's a huge stain on this nation...White Australia's support is crucial."

John J. Lennon lives at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he is serving his 24th year of a 28-years-to-life sentence. He’s also a journalist whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Times, the Atlantic, and more. Until last year, he was at Sullivan Correctional Facility, where he mentored emerging writers, both informally and most recently, through the Sullivan Nonfiction Writing Workshop. He writes for @nybooks about setting that up, and what happened when it came to an end with the prison’s closure. “I often think about the time before I came to prison, when I had no promising future. I’ve come to realize that two opposing realities can be true at once: prison probably saved my life and it’s where I learned to write; and prison is a disgusting place that’s hurting me more now than ever,” he writes. “I’m both ashamed and proud of my path. But it wouldn’t have been possible if prison officials hadn’t given writing programs a chance.” [Story may be paywalled]

Oh look, the world was being scumbags to Palestinian CHILDREN even back in 2004.
Also there’s no way they beat the US in incarceration per capita. There’s no way. We’re number 1!! (Ew)
“Since the political process between Israel and the Palestinians was reinvigorated in May 2003, prisoners, including children, have been high on the Palestinian political agenda. With one of the highest per capita incarceration rates in the world at times according to Human Rights Watch, one would be hard pressed to find a Palestinian who has not either themselves, a family member or a friend been imprisoned by Israel. Although no mention of a prisoner release is made in the US backed initiative, which seeks a resolution of the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and the establishment of a Palestinian state, pressure from political factions and the Palestinian community as a whole has made it a priority for the Palestinian leadership.”

At the beginning of February, the U.S. and Salvadoran governments struck a deal allowing the former to ship detained migrants to the latter’s brutal CECOT prison. @TexasObserver’s Orlando J. Perez examines the human and economic repercussions of this scheme, both now and for the future. “The longer the United States bankrolls and applauds this ‘iron fist’ illusion, the faster that illusion will spread across a region already battered by insecurity and disillusionment with democracy,” he writes. “Ultimately, sacrificing the rule of law for a made-for-TV spectacle is a devil’s bargain. It may offer momentary political gain, but it leaves behind broken families, weakened institutions, and a more dangerous hemisphere for everyone.”

Alcatraz Prison in San Francisco Bay closed more than 60 years ago and was reopened as a museum in 1973. It now attracts more than one million visitors a year. On May 4, President Donald Trump announced that he'd like to reopen it as a prison that would "house America's most ruthless and violent Offenders." Here's @time's story on the history of Alcatraz, why it closed in 1963, and some of the early responses to Trump's proposal.

"Opened in 1902 beside the Kentish village of Borstal, now swallowed up by the town of Rochester, it’s the sort of place you’d expect Miss Trunchbull to be nutting about in, terrorising the kids with maniacal joy." —Georgia Brown for The Fence
The Fence · Borstal BoysThe last time I saw my dad, we were looking through old photographs. In one sits a small, dark-haired boy staring gleefully at the camera. His smile is cheeky and wide, his little hands folded neatly…
Seeking to fulfill his campaign promises, #Trump is moving full steam ahead with a multilayered #detention expansion plan, which, if realized, will triple #ICE #incarceration capacity, enabling it to detain an additional 84,000 people at any given time.
