abolitionbbAlabama Department of Corrections is on a statewide lockdown after a prisoner took a guard hostage last night, stealing his gun and vest. The situation is ongoing.
Shaw, who took the guard hostage has said on Facebook live “They like to use crime and punishment as the guise for keeping up white supremacy but that’s an old trick that’s been exposed..They profess to be about law and order but they don’t follow no kind of laws these people break the laws. Completely disregard the laws bend the laws and do all of that as they see it.”
A woman who has gone to the prison in support of Shaw said “This is the thing. They kill our loved ones, they kill our people on the inside on a regular basis. Nobody does anything they get away with it. But when they feel like something is going to happen to one of theirs, look how they respond. They don’t want to be peaceful.”
Approximately 110 people have already died is ADOC custody this year, and that is expected to be an undercount.
