May be useful to know where you and I may end up soon, as more people in the US are taken by the government. Cecot is a prison in El Salvador the US government has already sent ~250 people from the US to against the order of a federal judge, without charges filed, with no trials nor due process.

These #states use stolen #Indigenous land to fund #prisons

#Musk was a child in a #carceral state when #apartheid was used to control the #poc majority in #southafrica - it warped his mind about #prisons
Black parents have historically been divided from our children by #enslavement, the modern #carceral system, family courts, + #capitalist work demands. I've been overjoyed to welcome my second baby this year, with a partner who's committed to healthy co-parenting and social justice. And I'm committed to being present with my #baby while maintaining my #activism and #radical tech projects.

The Program in Criminal Justice Policy and Management at Harvard announced their Fall 2024 speaker schedule. They are examining the intersection of health and incarceration. This series is always excellent, and its not just theoretical. They have some abolitionists in the mix who highlight real life impacts and usually propose some solutions. Check their website for dates and speakers. Starts Sept 18th. https://www.hks.harvard.edu/centers/wiener/programs/criminaljustice/news-events/diagnosis-of-incarceration
The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.
Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.
finally, wrote about the GOP's war on #schoollunches, which is steeped in #carceral logic. #BenShapiro wants to police kids, not give them help, because he hates helping people and fears feeding the #hungry will reduce #inequity. https://www.editorialboard.com/punish-the-hungry/
