How Prisoners Are Planning to ‘Shut Down’ the US’s Hidden Slave Labor System https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/33c6f13f-ea64-4b10-9a2a-261da70ed8c1 Formerly and currently incarcerated organizers are fighting back against Alabama's rigged carceral system, an institution upholding a system of modern-day slavery in the southern state. Organizers imprisoned at the St. Clair Correctional Facility have organized a “shutdown” of the prison to protest the shockingly inhumane conditions of state facilities and the draconian policies of the state’s Department of Corrections.
