Today in Labor History May 4, 1946: The U.S. government deployed marines to end the Battle of Alcatraz. It began as a failed prison escape. It turned into a war-like battle, with marines using grenades against prisoners and tactics they had used in Japan. Three of the perpetrators and two prison officials died in the fighting. Fourteen other officers were injured. The government later executed two more prisoners for participating in the riot. One of the prisoners who died in the riot, had recently petitioned for a writ of habeas corpus. He claimed the cops had beat a confession out of him and he had hospital records to prove it.

Einer der größten, spannendsten und schönsten Filme meines Lebens. Da gibt es gar kein Vertun. Außerdem die einzige Zusammenarbeit von Steve McQueen und Dustin Hoffman. Kein Wunder, dass ich diesen Film lieben musste. Und lesen Sie das Buch! (ARD, Wh.)

(Chile) Subversive Comrade Tomás González Escapes from Ex Penitentiary

On February 25, 2026, former subversive prisoner Tomás González, along with another prisoner, escaped from the Ex penitentiary dressed as a prison guard. Comrade Tomás was sentenced to more than 21 years in prison (16 years for shooting at police officers to avoid arrest in May 2022) and 5 years (pending for possession of a Molotov cocktail).

Given the repressive cordons that are beginning to be drawn up inside and outside the prison, the call is to not provide any information useful to the repression. No collaboration is acceptable! No photos of our comrade, no information about his background or connections given to the police!

Long live our fugitive and escaped comrades! All our strength and solidarity to those who still resist in prison.

“I cherish every moment in which I can learn alongside my comrades from the experiences that different generations have shared, based on solidarity and humility. Nothing is over, because the task continues, always contributing in concrete ways. Those who live fighting walk, forging paths wherever they may be, and as autonomous and undocumented individuals, that is our horizon.”
