Something is going on at Bathurst jail. There's a helicopter with paramedics, a dead person in a mortuary bag, and a bunch of cops standing around on the front lawns.
I hope all the people in the jail are ok and safe.

As an abolitionist I find it really challenging not to celebrate when someone like Paul Frost is locked up.
I don't want prisons, but more than that I want a world where men don't prey on children #AbolishPolice #Abolition #AbolishPrisons #anarchism #CommunityNotCops #FuckThePolice #AllCops #EvenYourUncle #KillYourLocalRapist
The governor of a women’s prison where senior correctional officer Wayne Astill raped a number of inmates extended his tenure in the role even after she was made aware of “serious allegations” by inmates that she said she believed.

"Between 1 January 2013 and 30 June this year, sniffer dogs were deployed in NSW 20,477 times. There were 94,535 general and strip-searches prompted by the dogs but 70,913 or nearly 75% of these searches yielded no illicit drugs. The force maintains the dogs are “very effective”."
Add to that the fact that we overwhelmingly see these searches targeted towards Indigenous people, and that NSW Police has a history of using strip searches against young girls without a guardian present - it's predatory.

Books in prison are weapons against fascism, illiteracy, self-hatred, and lack of self esteem. Books unite us all to end censorship. Censorship is just social control by those in power. It does not protect anything for the people. It just keeps us more ignorant and able to be manipulated. Prison officials everywhere know this is true. It may seem this is a minor or secondary thing, but to keep you from such “radical” thoughts as Anarchism, Socialism, Feminism, Queer liberation, as well as knowledge of your rights and how to asset them against authority figures, is one of the few ways to fight back against their abuse. Knowledge is power!
