YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Formerly and currently incarcerated organizers are fighting back against Alabama's rigged carceral system, an institution upholding a system of modern-day slavery in the southern state. Organizers imprisoned at the St. Clair Correctional Facility have organized a “shutdown” of the prison to protest the shockingly inhumane conditions of state facilities and the draconian policies of the state’s Department of Corrections. Cecilia Prado and Induja Kumar with the Tennessee Student Solidarity Network and A Luta Sigue, join the show to discuss The Free Alabama Movement and the DOC’s systematic denial of parole to inmates – a practice that feeds the $450 million-per-year prison labor industry.
