MIM(Prisons) is a cell of revolutionaries serving the oppressed masses inside U.$. prisons, guided by the communist ideology of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.
Under Lock & Key is a news service written by and for prisoners with a focus on what is going on behind bars throughout the United States. Under Lock & Key is available to U.S. prisoners for free through MIM(Prisons)'s Free Political Literature to Prisoners Program, by writing:
MIM(Prisons) PO Box 40799 San Francisco, CA 94140.
Everyday I try to wash away the loneliness, but
it doesn’t come off,
I have no choice but to surrender to its pain, to its scoff,
the agony that runs through my veins,
and through the chains locked around my hands and feet,
leaves me incomplete.
I am the outcome of corruption, the tragedy that feeds the trauma that
stains
my soul, devours me whole.
I ask for empathy, but my own feelings are empty,
slowly I fade out, due to a shattered life,
feeding what kills me inside,
they refuse what keeps me alive,
I refuse… my own right to remain silent,
but all they care about is confinement.
They display my mugshot like it’s a Michelangelo or a Donatello,
they will never admit fault, they will never let me go.
And why should it matter, I will always be hated by the ignorant.
My incarceration was deliberate,
part of a plan to violate and amputate.
My life is now a concrete cemetery,
each moment is a cold day in January.
Wrongfully persecuted, this system is polluted.
Its tools for change is a mockery to rehab and reform,
while the world revolves, I stand frozen in a hailstorm.
Justice for all is a sick joke, who cares I was used as a
scapegoat?
or the misconduct that was over-looked?
My back and shoulders ache from the weight I carry everyday,
how dare you not wear my shoes and tell me it will all be okay!
Who actually cares I’m surrounded by sadism and hate,
when agony and suffering is my fate?
The only thing I fear is the night, that’s when the demons come out to
fight.
I wish you were the fly in my cell, so you can see the truth I
tell.
My life has been unjustly twisted, hollowed out, a sheep heading to
slaughter.
When will the truth be seen, when I die a martyr?
Still, I must traverse through this maze,
even on days I can’t see through the haze and wish for better
days.
This is a poem to show I’m still here, I have not yet disappeared.
Please let me know I’m not forgotten, I am not who they declare
“rotten”
I’m still here all alone, this is not where I belong, I need help to get
back home.
On the other hand I’m over here on the McConnell Unit where I see
religious people who are supposed to be for the people work in the place
as the oppressor with the same pigs whom practice oppression. When we
look at the capitalist here in American prisons we see the state abuse
their authority by placing power and control in the peoples’ hands. Half
of the time we can’t get nothing done because every time we stand up for
what’s right here come the gang members and religious folks taking up
for the pigs and it’s your fellow inmate brother whom is putting you
farther in oppression. I myself experience this a lot.
The staff here, these officers rather, let the prisoners deal with
the prisoners, in return the officers look the other way when the
workers are dealing drugs. Just the other day a crip wanted to go on a
hunger strike for the pod going on a 15 day lock down because several
individuals got caught smoking. These same officers know the prisoners
who are bringing the smoke over here. All these individuals are working
together with a handful of gang members and religious folks. The real
revolutionary prisoners are basically stuck in the cell all day.
My question is when are we gonna connect with people who can do
something about the situation. We write grievances and file complaints
and we still can’t get anything done. I know for a fact we sent out
every letter of 35 grievances. I pack my stuff up and went to the front
desk and told them to move me back [because an L.O. runs this block that
I have a documented conflict with] and they threatening me with physical
harm and told me to go back to my pod.
The people in Israel are evil people who hide behind the Christian
religion. They want the rest of the world to follow in the Christian
faith but they can’t follow in their own faith. Israel needs to stop
oppressing Palestinians especially the women and children. America is
supposed to stand against that kind of crime. R.I.P
to Marcellus Khalifa Williams. May the brother reach the heavens and
dwell in the window of God. The injustice system can still kill innocent
Black men in America no matter what the people do, no matter how hard
the people fight. His death did not go without a learned message. Once
I’m free I’mma keep in mind that that could be me.
MIM(Prisons) adds: Yes, people inside must connect with
people on the outside to build a real movement to stop this oppression.
We can look to the national liberation struggle in Palestine and the
connection to the prison movement there as an example. We once had
stronger movements here in occupied Turtle Island. And as we build them
up again, we must build that crucial link between the inside and
outside.
I disagree with this California prisoner’s definition of snitching in
the 2nd paragraph of the “Stop
Snitching on Pigs” article (also in ULK 86). Not all
snitching is done to a “higher authority.” To snitch is to incriminate
an ally, or should-be ally, through written/verbal statements made to
anyone who could be a pig/rat/enemy, in general. If I take
incriminating info/intel to a rat, or to somebody who views the pigs as
“allies”, through gossip/rumors/incriminating raps (AKA rhyming witness
statements), then this is snitching. It’s well-known that this type of
gossip/rumors often finds its way to the higher authorities. The problem
is that this form of snitching, via gossip/rumors/raps, happens so
routinely that everybody is typically guilty of doing it, which
means that nobody’s trying to enforce
anti-gossip/anti-rumors/anti-incriminating rap. You never know you’re
gossiping to a MFer on 60-days-in, or a fuckin’ pig dressed up/tatted up
like a convict. I’ve seen many rats feed all kinds of gossip to the
enemy. Convicts gossiping about other convicts is just as bad as
convicts writing grievances on other convicts, snitch-wise, it’s just
that grievances are documented on paper while gossip isn’t always
documented. However, just because an incriminating statement isn’t
documented on paper doesn’t mean it’s not what it is – snitching.
Gossip, rumors, and incriminating raps aren’t silence, and thus, violate
the code of silence.
Why would you gossip about somebody who you claim to be loyal to,
when that “somebody” is somebody you claim you’d never snitch on? Some
say “a man’s only as good as eir word,” but if you’re using your word
behind somebody’s back, it means your words can’t be trusted. If your
word can’t be trusted, it’s no good. How am I supposed to be loyal to
people who I can’t trust? Besides, if you’re gossiping about everybody
else, then why can’t they be gossiping about you? What they’ll do to
you, they’ll do to me. An organization plagued by gossip is a ship
that’ll sink at the words of loose lips. (Mao discussed this in part in
eir essay Combat Liberalism). Plus infiltrators can weaponize
gossip to keep everybody against each other. The revolution demands open
confrontation. In a time of war (seeing as how prison is war,
gossiping to any enemy about an ally is disloyalty/snitching.
Don’t be scared to pull MFer’s up and encourage confrontation.
Gossip/rumors, as an aspect of communication, are a contradiction
within the masses that stirs up all kinds of dramatic
manipulation/schemes/disorganization/confusion/division/etc. If we’re to
wage a campaign against gossip/rumors/incriminating rap.
Criticism/self-criticism is not to be conducted behind comrade’s backs.
We need our organizations gossip/rumor-free, if we’re to succeed in our
number-one goal.
Time, for a Revolutionary, is more than just money; Time, for a
Revolutionary, is waging Revolution – with emphasis placed on the word
“wage”/“waging.” You wage Revolution against the enemy, not
with the enemy. Don’t waste much time loosening one’s lips with
the enemy, if it’s not words spoken in the name of the Revolution.
Seeing as how Communism is a society where no group has power over
any other group, I’d like our next articles to discuss how we can change
individuals, who collaborate with our powerful enemies and view them as
allies, into viewing the powerless as allies, who aren’t to be
collaborated against, or snitched on – a shift in loyalties, through
dialectical materialism’s resolution of contradictions.
In y’all’s experience, what strategies/tactics have y’all applied
behind bars, in order to internally change other prisoners’ loyalties,
in favor of Revolution? What new strategies can we come up with? How do
we get people to start caring about people who need help, instead of $,
drugs, sex, and power?
Can a communist society exist with individuals abusing powerful words
against each other, through snitching, gossiping, rumors, incriminating
raps, etc., or with collaboration against one another? (I personally
don’t see a communist society tolerating bullshit like that). What will
communication, on/off the internet, look like in a communist society and
how will it be organized? Remember, communication rules the nation(s),
so it’s very important to address this in our campaigns, if we’re to
succeed. The problem is that it’s hard enough for many of us to control
our own mouths, let alone the mouths of an entire society. How do we
organize our communications leading up to socialist Revolution?
It’s time to put the Revolution where your mouth is.
NOTE: This is why MIM said that, under the dictatorship of the
proletariat, party members will be paid the rate of the lowest paid
workers in society.

It’s the new world order where elites and the
sheep casts the stones in their glass house with no repercussions
the ones that have the most flaws that do the judging
social media, with monarchy mind control, frequencies that ease you into
the ideology of the one-thought masses
to shake the foundation and indoctrinate to destroy individuality
the vibration is silent, the common sense factor is void to keep the
masses dumbed down playing the role of the factions
falling blindly into the tactics
its meant to be as the silent plan, the master holding the strings in
his hand to make the puppets dance
dividing individuals into color coordinations, against beliefs, morals,
values and pushing the agenda that its not me, pinning them against
we
praising false idols that never existed, keeping the masses in a sheep
mentality to control the mind, once the mental is conquered the body
falls in line
it was the master plan, to control the man, once the man is controlled
he unconsciously follows the plan
ripple effect to oppressing the woman, to think she is beneath him,
stripping the nature of the goddess and losing the true nature of
creation
the duality and the creator, the given and the taker, the mother Earth
Gaia that needs us to awaken to her greatness
into the materialism that will take your soul, temporarily make you
whole, once a happy home but now your not at home
the instant gratification, putting a smile on your face but inside it’s
hateful
masking the internal with the external, dodging the obstacles, scared to
go within because you were never taught how to
so embrace to be oneself, don’t blend in because we were born to stand
out, individuality, is a blessing, much lessons, break the chains of
what we thought, and now you are.
No average free citizen, nor incarcerated individual, has hardly ever
heard of the term “light pollution” (otherwise known as “constant
illumination”) which is very harmful to the lives of humans and
animals.
Jailers across the country continually adopt the malevolent practice
of installing fluorescent lighting within housing cells of jail and
prison facilities alike. Officials usually have complete power to turn
the light off at night, but choose not to do so. This scheme, to my
knowledge, is a sure form of corporal punishment.
To make matters worse, sheriffs and prison guards threaten convicts
and detainees with disciplinary infractions for covering the light up at
nighttime. When officials usually have a standard-issue flashlight that
can easily be used when conducting their security checks.
Scientific studies have rendered evidence, showing how light
pollution is a contributing factor to the causation of triggering
diseases. These diseases can range from hypertension, diabetes, cancer,
and a slew of other health problems.
Light pollution initially affects our circadian rhythms, leading to
the onslaught of ensuing problems that follow afterwards, which disrupt
the systems of the body. Our circadian rhythm is the body’s internal
sleep-wake-clock, which is governed by the way light enters into our
bodies through the retinas of the eyes. Light itself, is usually
measured in the fashionable method of lumens, luxes, and candle watts.
Whenever our exposure to constant illumination is 24/7 for weeks,
months, and years, could be why a bunch of us may be experiencing health
problems, while being totally unaware that light pollution is the hidden
catalyst behind our illnesses. Especially when there’s evidence of sleep
deprivation being the main culprit.
Keenan vs. Hall, a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, is one of
the leading cases amongst many others in the federal district courts,
where decisions have been made on this matter that have set precedence.
Despite this, jailers continue to practice this form of penology that
brings about the needless cruel and unusual double-whammy punishments
caused by light pollution. Over the past several decades across the
country, animal facilities housing monkeys and other creatures were
forced to shut down due to those particular animals’ exposure to the dangers of
constant illumination, that was ultimately deemed to be animal
cruelty.
The question to be answered here, should one might think to ask is
this: shouldn’t the life of a human be just as much valued as a precious
animal’s life, if not more, regardless of incarceration?
MIM(Prisons) responds:This is just one of many examples
of the disregard for prisoners’ health under imperialism. The negative
impacts on the health of oppressed peoples from U.$. prison conditions
is just one contributor to a system of low-intensity genocide in this
country.
We fight for a socialist world, where prisoners’ health is taken as
seriously as that of lab animals or of any other humyn beings for that
matter. The current system dehumynizes prisoners as part of a system of
national oppression, and control of surplus populations. Through
national liberation we will build a system of rehabilitation that
recognizes the value of restoring people who have committed crimes
against the people to citizens that contribute to society.
The Chican@ Movement continues to grow and evolve as it reacts and
responds to the social reality that we encounter today. For this we need
to put our goals in perspective so that we may build today and guide our
future guerrer@s who will continue the struggle for liberation and
self-determination for the nation. Today we delve into our predecessors’
actions and previous lessons and ideas that shaped our political line
and which guide us into the future. For these reasons it’s crucial that
we define what our true objectives are today in our movement that we
hope outlines how our movement has evolved and continues to grow into
the future.
In the 1960s many within the Chican@ movement of that period sought
Chican@ power in the form of better schools, of an end to abuse or the
murder of our people in the imperialist wars like in Vietnam. For many
others Chican@ Power meant to have community control in some form, of
having our own teachers and schools or even a parcel of land. Many
Chican@ organizations did not study political theory, even today
political education is not promoted in the nation on the level that it
should at this stage in the decaying of capitalism.
A true classification today of Chican@ power should push the
boundaries and transcend generations in ways that cut the path for our
future cadre. For these reasons Chican@ Power today can only be seen as
based in a socialist revolution and a communist future less it be
reduced to simply a defective label. Seeking more jobs or “funding” for
our community which is ultimately strangled out of the Third World by
imperialism no longer quenches the thirst we have for justice and
liberation.
The pairing of Chican@ power with revolution is the natural cause of
development if we are to take a materialist approach. We know that the
capitalist State will not hand over power, it will not unseat itself, on
the contrary the natural cycle of imperialism demands that it “eats
more”, it must in order to continue to exist. In the initial stages of
revolution a joint dictatorship of the oppressed nations will ensure the
U.$. capitalist state and all of its imperialist lechers are thoroughly
stomped out for good, thereby cutting a path for Aztlán and other
oppressed nations to finally exercise people’s power in their liberated
nations where socialism can blossom.
Today’s Chican@ movement is in agreement for the most part that we
the Chican@ Nation are a people who should be free from oppression and
who deserve to be free to organize in our own fashion and even our own
government. Where the road becomes blurry for some is what Chican@ power
should look like as the term Chican@ power can fill many different
buckets.
One challenge we have today, to be quite honest, is the rise of the
petty bourgeoisie within Aztlán, and as a result, the dominance of
bourgeois ideology is taken for granted. Taking a Materialist approach
was rarely done in the past where our concrete reality and the ever
changing conditions, very material conditions in which we exist as an
oppressed nation highlight the terrain in which we are up against.
Another challenge is the strong pull towards integration with the
oppressor nation and what these two challenges mean or how they affect
the activity of the Chican@ nation and its vision for power or what
power even looks like to Aztlán especially for those under the influence
of Amerikkka or capitalism more broadly. As communists we know that
humyn activity and how they move through life affects their production
and one’s mode of production. How and what we as Chican@s produce
defines how we are developing as people and as a nation. Production is
key to assess a people or productive forces but here in the U.S. the
“productive forces” are for the most part bourgeoisified.
For Aztlán the most revolutionary elements that push for power would
be the lumpen and migrants. The Chican@ lumpen exist in a tribal type of
structure within these false U.S. borders with a definite class
formation and antagonism between lumpen and the capitalist state. At the
same time some of the petty bourgeoisie will ride with the revolution
and we should understand these social forces collectively and build with
this in mind. All socialist revolutions proved this to be true,
including Mao’s Chinese revolution.
Chican@ Power at this stage will not come from a gun. We have much
work ahead, mental work, theoretical production to get our gente where
they need to be theoretically or ideologically. But consciousness
raising cannot elevate a nation if this effort is devoid of practice,
and correct practice does not arrive without error in which to learn
from. So practice is necessary for us to propel Aztlán onto the stage
where Chican@ power is finally realized as without practice we are left
with what Marx called “dead facts”. Within U.S. prisons I read of a lot
of resistance and theory including new Chican@ revolutionaries and
others. Some of this writing is very good but without practice and
putting some of these ideas into reality the U.S. prisons can degenerate
into warehouses of dead facts. Likewise the semi-colonies can end up as
prison houses of dead facts.
Our hystorical conditions as a semi-colony will compel us to obtain
national liberation. Our ideology will streamline this process. Our
colonizers today control the dominant ideology taken up by the majority
of the masses here in the occupied territories, even among the most
oppressed we can see and hear them parroting ruling class propaganda.
The capitalist state spends a lot of money and time from its many
agencies in order to spread its brainwashing on a mass scale. It’s our
job to counter this as best we can. Chican@ power relies on how
effective we are at this.
We should know and understand that Chican@ Power will be realized in
a world lead by the Third World. What’s more is the Chican@ Movement is
also part of the International Communist Movement (ICM) and millions of
people around the world who are a part of the ICM are also currently
fighting for national liberation just like us. They fight against class
and gender oppression just like us. We are not alone, on the contrary we
are with the majority of the world’s people in our fight for
justice.
Today Chican@ organizations should be building Barrio Committees in a
hood near you. The Barrios Committee will be the cultural center and
political laboratory for Aztlán at a regional level. The Barrio
Committee is but the seed for the Chican@ Communes. These are the steps
towards dual power and community control. This is the path towards
Chican@ Power that needs to be utilized in order to guide the nation
towards a society that is free from oppression.
In the last issue, we mentioned the removal of Spanish-language
content from federal websites. Since then, we’ve seen the Pentagon
removing information about Navajo code-talkers, Jackie Robinson,
Tuskegee Airmen and Japanese who fought for the U.$. in World War II
from their websites.
The U.$. military helps to impose fascism on the oppressed people of
the Third World when they get out of line. But now that fascism is
coming home, the oppressed nations here are the first to feel the
brunt.
There’s a long history of the U.$. military using benefits and even
citizenship to bribe people to fight for them. There’s also a long
history of the United $tates not always coming through with their
promises. This erasure of oppressed people from their history is just
one more slap in the face of those who thought they’d get in with the
Amerikans by fighting in their wars. And we see it as a petty sign of
how Amerika is taking a different approach to oppressed people in this
country.
The Regime
While Trump wasn’t so different as a U.$. president first time
around, we can look to his current cabinet to confirm the consolidation
of fascists for this second term.
Does anyone think a Euro-immigrant from apartheid South Africa who
throws Nazi salutes, and is the richest persyn in the world, is a friend
of oppressed nations? How about Pete Hegseth, the guy with the Christian
nationalist tattoos now in charge of the military that already had a
white nationalist militia problem? Who ironically closed his self-leaked
plans to bomb Yemen with:
“We are currently clean on OPSEC. Godspeed to our Warriors.”
President Trump recently told Salvadorian President Bukele to “build
five more places” to hold “homegrown” criminals from the United $tates,
referring to the giant Salvadorian “terrorist” concentration camp Trump
has begun sending people to. Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff for
policy and homeland security adviser to Trump, when asked if Mahmoud
Khalil will be deported, replied:
“Yes he will, as will anyone who preaches hate for America.”
Vice President J.D. Vance is a benefactor of another of the richest
people in the world, Peter Thiel, who also funds Curtis Yarvin, who
Vance says he takes much influence from. Yarvin believes New Afrikans
have lower IQs and that their enslavement was thus justified because
they were destined to be slaves. Yarvin is paraphrased as writing:
“He then concluded that the “best humane alternative to genocide” is
to “virtualize” these people: Imprison them in “permanent solitary
confinement” where, to avoid making them insane, they would be connected
to an “immersive virtual-reality interface” so they could “experience a
rich, fulfilling life in a completely imaginary world.”“(1)
This will sound very familiar to regular readers of ULK.
This is the future of prison tablets. A slow genocide that avoids the
current messiness of videos of dead babies inspiring young
anti-imperialists to destroy weapons manufacturing plants of companies
like Elbit Systems.
These are just some highlights of the current regime that have been
exposed in much more depth by others over the past year. These people do
not want us and they’re serious about it.
Peak Integration?
By the 1960s, the injustices of Jim Crow had garnered sympathy and
support from many sectors for the self-determination of the internal
semi-colonies (in particular the Black/New Afrikan nation). Since the
victory of the Civil Rights Act, that support has declined, replaced
with an imperialist project of assimilation. At this point, most of us
have only lived in an integrated United $tates, which has greatly
reduced the interest in national liberation on occupied Turtle Island.
Of course the disproportionate poverty, homelessness, murder and torture
of oppressed nations continues, but many in the internal semi-colonies
joined the Amerikan consumer class post-integration as well. As a
result, we have more Uncle Toms and Tio Tomas than ever before
(especially the Tios and Tias who continue to join the U.$. military at
increasing rates).
Black Lives Matter (peaking in 2020) and the al-Aqsa Flood in 2023
brought an uptick in support for national liberation. With the
resumption of the U.$.-i$rael war on Palestine and Lebanon, breaking peace
deals in both cases, opposition to what the imperialists are doing
in the Middle East continues to rise within the United $tates. We also
think the internal actions of the current Trump regime are already
beginning to heighten contradictions and broaden the base for possible
alliances as the fascist enemy consolidates its forces against us.
Deportations
have targeted those from Latin America and the Muslim world so far.
As the prospect of war with China advances we will also see the rise of
racism against Chinese people (or those perceived to be Chinese) in this
country, as we have seen in the past, as recently as the COVID-19
pandemic.
You Can’t Think Racism Away
While liberals think we can (and have) made progress against national
oppression by fighting “wrong ideas” in peoples’ heads, racism is in
reality a product of national oppression. It cannot be ended without the
national liberation of the oppressed.
The reason people believe in integration is that they believe that
the wealth and prosperity of the United $tates can exist without
oppressing and exploiting other nations. It cannot. And the Trump regime
has a more realistic understanding of this than most Amerikans.
As support for national liberation and alternatives to the current
system grow, we must make this point very clear. We must draw a clear
line between the proletarian line and the social fascist and
crypto-Trotskyist lines that have historically linked the struggle
against oppression with the struggle for more wealth for Amerikans. The
struggle for more wealth always wins out. This is why the
labor aristocracy is the main force for fascism, even if the
imperialists are doing most of the work so far.
Cuando las tabletas primero salieron en 2017, las primeras tabletas
los vendieron a los presos, yo fui uno de ellos a los cuales sus seres
queridos le compraron una. Luego FDOC decidió cambiar el correo postal a
correo digital, so la seguridad de FDOC recogió todas las tabletas
(incluyendo esos que los presos pagaron). Después regresaron y le dieron
una tableta gratis a todos los presos. Desde ese tiempo hasta ahora las
tabletas han sido actualizados no menos de tres veces.
Este camarada recientemente salio de Close Management (CM) y fue
transferido a Hamilton C.I. Desde que llegue a esta prisión, he
encontrado que durante el ultimo año el Sargento encargado de Propriedad
ha estado confiscando tabletas, dando reclusos reportes disciplinarios
por “manipulación de las tabletas” en la mayorídad de la veces – los
presos se encuentran culpable en 99% de los casos. Son puesto en
suspensión indefinida por poseer otra tableta y imponen un préstamo de
$130 por reconstitución que tienen que pagar. Por un tiempo, FDOC nos
dieron un poco, pero después regresaron ha quitarnos todo. FDOC nos
regalaron las tabletas, pero porque son propiedad del estado, tienen un
a excusa para llevárselas.
La Población Prisionero
Yo llevo 28 años internado en las prisiones y todo ha cambiado. Esto
ya no es una prisión, se ha convertido a un centro de guardería infantil
donde los tontos pueden pasar el tiempo. Todos quieren ser parte de una
pandilla, pero antes que tomas ese juramento, dejame recordarte que es
necesario entender porque esa nación, grupo, o pandilla fue nacido.
Nació por parte de los oprimidos para pelear en unidad (como colectivo)
contra la opresión. Y quien son los opresores? Los puercos que trabajan
aquí, la administración, la sistema, el estado, y el gobierno. Yo
conozco mi historia, sabes la tuya?
FDOC tiene un total de no mas de 30 guardias trabajando por turno
(1/4 de ellos trabajan horas extra) y eso es contando el personal que
trabaja en los controles del área en frente del prisión. Es una
vergüenza que un grupo tan pequeño de puercos puedan controlar, oprimir
y abusa a un grupo de 1250 a 1500 presos, matones, gánsteres, criminales
y pandilleros. Los presos de FDOC no tienen unidad y menos tienen
respeto a ellos mismo. Digo que no tienen respeto a ellos mismo porque
puede ser que yo tengo un deuda de una sopa de 78 centavos y ya están
listo para matarme, pero los puercos te pueden llamar un “montón de
perras” ha ti y tu dormitorio entera y no hacen nada pero seguir con su
cabeza abajo.
En el FDOC, la mayoría de los pandilleros prefieren tener un puerco
como amigo en vez de otro preso que tiene el mismo colores de uniforme.
Respetan mas a los puercos que a sus compañeros presos. Ali-al Haf de
Georgia, leí tu articulo en ULK Winter 2025 – no estas solo! Yo también
creo que esto es un virus contagioso. Ahora los presos están haciendo el
trabajo de los puercos. Revisan y chequean que las puertas de tu celdas
están asegurados, pasan correo, y ellos se aseguran que no comes dos
veces en la cafetería, hasta los puedes ven parados al lado de un puerco
como guardaespaldas. Pasan besando el culo pero al fin del día están
igual como yo; encerrado en una celda. No importa como positiva sea tu
opinión sobre los puercos, porque al fin del día ellos no van as
arriesgar sus cheques de pago para ti. Coño Preso – no seas ciego y mira
el color de tu uniforme! No te das cuenta que es un diferente color?
Aprendan la diferencia entre un derecho y un privilegio. Aprendan y
usen la sistema de quejas institucional (Grievances). Necesitas dejar un
historial pasado escrito en caso si la situación necesitar ir a otro
nivel. Un historial pasado escrito enseña prueba que trataron una ruta
de paz antes de elevar la forma de lucha.
Todos esos camaradas del pasado que sacrificaron sus sentencias,
fechas de salidos, salud, familia, libertad, y otros que hasta fueron
mártires que sacrificando sus vidas solamente para que esta generación
se tiren sus manos arriba y rendirse? De verdad? Esto es como estamos
sirviendo nuestro tiempo en 2025? Donde están tus cojones??
Unámonos todos bajo una misma linea de pensamiento. Antes de que te
quejas por no tener una tableta o por no poder ver el partido en el
tele, necesitamos a pensar sobre los precios de las cantinas, de como
ganar mas “gain-time”, como traer libertad provisional ha los presos de
vida como yo, y como mejorar la comida. Disculpame pero la prisión no es
un lugar donde vienes para pasar el tiempo con tus amigos y donde se
pasa un bien tiempo. Esto es el cementerio de los muertos con vida,
donde tu futuro se puede cambian completamente en menos de 15 segundos.
No te olvides de quien eres, de tu cultura, y de donde vienes. No te
sometes al trabajo del puerco. No me sorprendo si en algunos años
solamente ofrecen nuestra visitas por video y paran todo contacto
físico. Si no nos unimos y no nos levantemos como un pueblo, como una
familia, vamos a seguir de perder. Recuérdate que antes de que fuiste un
pandillero, fuiste un hombre, un ser humano – no un animal. Niego que me
tratan y que me tienen cautivo como uno. No quiero abrazos con la vida
hasta que mi pueblo sea libre.
A handful of comrades in different cities on the outside have pledged
to fast, study and do prisoner support work on 9 September 2025 in honor
of the Attica uprising, and in solidarity with comrades organizing
inside on this same day. This is the annual Day of Peace &
Solidarity initiated by the United Front for Peace in Prisons over a
decade ago. As we go to print, Palestinians just recognized Palestinian
Prisoners’ Day on April 17. September 9th is like our Prisoners of
Amerikkka Day. And this year we aim to carry the torch outside and hope
to inspire others to participate.
The act of fasting forces us to slow down, be more reflective and
think of others across the country doing the same thing, for the same
cause. A larger group of outside comrades will also be coming together
the day before to continue ongoing discussions about the Maoist-led
united front here on Occupied Turtle Island. We will discuss how to best
build this movement to be resilient in the long-term task of ending
imperialism. We may also organize events on September 9th.
Comrades inside prison should also hold local discussions about
Attica, about the anti-imperialist prison movement, and about the United
Front for Peace in Prisons. Comrades can join us by abstaining from
food, drugs, television, video games and other pleasure-driven
activities that day, and engaging in study, discussion, outreach and
reflection instead. Get our September 9th study pack, start planning
now. We’ll print an updated list of plans in the next ULK.
