“All of those books will be only those that have been signed off by the institution…and will not spark any ideas of specifically freedom, because that is how a lot of people gain the power and energy to fight on.” - Brotha Knowledge, 44, Little Rock, recently paroled after nearly 30yrs behind bars

white supremacy is flat circle of time,
"In 1929 [Pres. Hoover] had decided to try to 'create jobs' for white workers during the depression by removing those deemed to be 'other'... The practice continued, with...support of labour unions... until 1936."
This country has always been this racist.

Books do not bring drugs into prison. Prison guards bring drugs into prison.

Every liberal who carried an "I am antifa" sign to a No Kings march or posted a photo on Facebook of their grandpa in uniform with "antifa" in the caption needs to be paying attention RIGHT NOW to the Prairieland Trial.
If they don't want drugs getting into prisons they're going to have to stop letting the guards in every day.
No liberation in the courts but...

"And throughout the state, prisoners are being punished anyway. They’re being punished with reduced commissary, less yard time, more shakedowns, more controlled movement, and the chow hall food has been contracted to a new company, which many prisoners say is providing smaller portions."
"February 8th came and went with the three men in solitary, and the work stoppage did not take place. Even though the work stoppage did not take place, Kinetic and Raoul remain in solitary as of this writing...."

Adults at ICE concentration camps also get punished for talking with people on the outside who can publicize their stories.
Based on what I've heard at the Otay Mesa camp in San Diego, they're punished with additional work duties, aren't allowed outside in the yard, and denied phone access.
Karl Marx, V.I. Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Assata Shakur, and Toni Cade Bambara all noted that being sanctimonious in our political work or declarations isn’t awesome, lol.

"While this censorship might seem brazenly anti-constitutional to most Americans, it has been the reality faced by incarcerated individuals for decades. In the name of 'security,' prison officials have punished and even killed people for possessing literature they deemed suspect." @theintercept.com
