Luigi Mangione riskeert executie. Geen eerlijk proces. Geen gerechtigheid. Wel politiek, klasse en controle.
Een dode CEO. Een jonge verdachte. En een systeem dat liever straft dan begrijpt.

Tegen de doodstraf. Tegen gevangenisstraf als norm.

From CURB: CCC officially deactivated:
The #CloseCAPrisons campaign honors this community win while also recognizing that there is more to be done to ensure that additional prisons across the state close safely and efficiently.

Prison closure can create billions in cost savings. These resources MUST be shifted to housing, healthcare, and education: systems of care that actually keep communities safe.

So especially since ' really haven't seen it reported at all other than via CKUT's Prison Radio Show but the québec government is planning the $400 million CAD construction of a new women's prison on the island of so-called Montréal.

Obviously it's something to be resisted: for financial and environmental costs, and the inhumanity of caging people.

Let's learn from our co-conspirators in other locations and our elders through history.

@eric Yes! In addition, locals jails incubated and then circulated COVID-19 through jail population turnover. In prisons, where incarcerated people do not circulate in and out generally, vaccine-resisting guards circulated in and out bringing COVID into the prisons where incarcerated people were sitting ducks. Public health officials repeatedly told government to #decarcerate and courts and law enforcement responded with half-measures or actively resisted. It was/is obscene.

The Yuba Liberation Coalition (YLC) is thrilled to share that the Intergovernmental Services Agreement (IGSA) between ICE and Yuba County Jail will end! This means that ICE will finally cease using Yuba County Jail as a facility to detain individuals in federal immigration proceedings for the first time in twenty-eight years.  This marks an end to the last immigration detention contract with a California county!

Jail Is a Death Sentence for a Growing Number of Americans

In Houston’s jail, where the population is at its highest in a decade, 24 people have died this year. More than half had a history of mental problems.

As Police Arrest More Seniors, Those With Dementia Face Deadly Consequences https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/11/22/police-arrests-deadly-texas-florida-seniors-dementia-mental-health #decarcerate #prison
Arrests of Seniors Are Up. For Those With Dementia, It Can Be Deadly.

Many cities are changing how they respond to mental health calls, but less attention has been paid to the unique risks for people with Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases.
