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:

As early as October 2012, the administrators of California Department of
Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) have relentlessly advocated to the
public how the step-down program (SDP) is an improvement upon the gang
validation policies/practices that previously existed. But history
informs us that any mantra of change being presented by the powers that
be means more of the same, literally.
On a day in March 2015, I was the sole prisoner transferred out of
Corcoran SHU via special transportation, as the warden issued some type
of “special order” for me to be housed at CCI Tehachapi SHU. I have yet
to see this “special order.” I’m not going to get into the litany of
horrendous living conditions that exist here at this point and time,
however, I’ve witnessed countless prisoners be issued bogus rule
violation reports (CDC 115 RVRs) and then coerced to start over and
repeat the step that they were just in. This subjects the prisoner to
being interned to indefinite solitary confinement status once again, as
there are no mechanisms in place that would prohibit and/or prevent this
process from reoccurring. It’s nothing more than the same old barbaric
and dehumanizing gang validation policies and practices.
For example, the most prominent reason for prisoners being issued CDC
115 RVRs is because their name has been found in a “kite” that was
written by another prisoner. Not only is this contrary to our primary 5
core demands from the mass hunger strikes, in relation to behavior-based
“individual accountability,” but it is also contrary to the new SDP
policy. In particular, CDCR memorandum dated 9 August 2013 states in
part on page 4:
“At times this information includes a list of names or other
personal information being found in another offender’s possession that
has some nexus to STG activity or behavior. During the DRB reviews, the
offender whose name is simply on the list (versus the individual being
in actual possession of the list) will not be held accountable for the
contents.”
But wait, it gets even better my people. While at Corcoran,
counter-intelligence officer S. Niehus searched my personal legal
property in February 2015 and stole (“confiscated”) my legal exhibits
for active legal cases under the false premise of it being gang-related
contraband. In my first level 602 appeal interview with Institutional
Gang Investigator Sergeant Pierce, he told me:
“Corcoran’s litigation office has confirmed [your] active legal
cases and that the confiscated materials were indeed legal exhibits for
said court cases, but he is going to retain possession of them, as CDCR
has deemed the materials to be gang-related contraband per CCR Title 15
Section 3378.”
It can’t be both ways! Either they’re legal exhibits or not. This type
of subjective rationale makes it fundamentally impossible to challenge
these bogus allegations of gang activity, because no sooner do we get
evidence that refutes these ridiculous allegations, it is then stolen
under the falsity of being gang-related. How is this not more of the
same old policies and practices? But more importantly, how can we win
under these circumstances? It is imperative that the people send letters
and emails to M.D. Stainer, Susan Hubbard, Scott Kernan and others in
CDCR’s headquarters in Sacramento, California to voice your outrage on
this contradiction.
MIM(Prisons) adds: In the meantime, we will also fight from the
angle of publicizing these abuses via our independent media resources
(Under Lock & Key and prisoncensorship.info). We also fight
injustice by offering educational materials and study groups to raise
the political understanding of anyone with an interest in putting a
permanent end to false imprisonment, torture via inhumane long-term
isolation, and an oppressive state and military which tries to bully the
entire world. The more we understand our oppression, the better equipped
we will be to fight against it effectively.
In recent years we’ve seen the consolidation of the movement to end
long-term isolation in U.$. prisons. This has been an issue the Maoist
Internationalist Movement, and others, have focused on for decades
because they determined that it was an important contradiction between
the oppressors and the oppressed in the United $tates. It’s taken some
time, but that analysis seems to be proving true as the movement is
gaining traction.
Another issue that we have reported on over the years has been that of
police brutality, and in particular police killings. In recent years,
this too has emerged as a flashpoint issue. After many incidents that
provoked local and ongoing responses, Ferguson took it to another level,
and now Baltimore has further pushed the issue and begun to draw lines
in the sand.
Just as the state attacked the anti-SHU movement for being a bunch of
gangbangers just looking out for themselves, the question of oppressed
nation unity across lumpen organizations has come to the forefront in
Ferguson and Baltimore. In Baltimore, the Nation of Islam held a press
conference with members of Blood and Crip organizations that led to a
lot of press coverage. During the uprising, those organizations were on
the streets protecting New Afrikan-owned businesses and community
members. As they attempted to show their ability to do for their
community what the police claimed but failed to do, the state tried to
paint them as a bunch of cop killers in the media.
A controversial hypothesis that we have put forth is that we should look
to the oppressed nation lumpen and lumpen organizations to find a mass
base for revolutionary organizing in the United $tates. We see the
social forces involved in the struggles against long-term isolation and
police killing as providing evidence in support of this hypothesis. We
have looked at this question in depth and think there is enough evidence
to support this as a valid scientific theory. One source of confirmation
we get from this is the support we get from the oppressed nation lumpen.
One comrade from Baltimore wrote to us further illuminating the
connection between our prison work and the anti-police movement today:
“I am a former eminent member of the 5-Deuce Hoover Crips in the
Northeast region of Baltimore city. Currently, I am serving out a long
prison sentence in Maryland. I am writing to you in regards to the riots
and the looting and the unorganized protest that took place 27 April
2015. I can’t say that I’m surprised, nor can I say I seen it coming;
but you must know that if the melee on April 27 didn’t happen when it
did, it still would have taken place somewhere further down the line. Do
I condone the actions of misled, poorly-educated youth and mindless
adults during the date of Freddie Gray’s burial? No, I do not!
“I knew Freddie personally so know his death is agonizing and he’ll be
missed. It is such a crying shame it took the misplaced anger and rage
of Baltimore’s youth to get the governor, mayor, city’s councilpeople,
etc. off their hindparts to ‘work actively’ with the protestors and
conduct an investigation of Freddie Gray’s death. Every big shot wants
to say how good of a city Baltimore is, yet the justice system is
corrupt, and our ‘city leaders’ are corrupt…
“There is good in Balti but those ghettos around the realm of the city
are truculent. Not because there’s direct destruction, but because right
now it is the blind leading the blind. Those same misled youth who
rioted April 27 will soon grow to be adults who will be misleading the
next generation. Baltimore city needs help, in its ghettos and its
prisons. In short, legislation has to make some changes with its
shielding of police who break the law and violate the rights of the
civilians.”
Certainly there is much to be done in all areas where there is mass
opposition to police brutality. And we do not see any possible solution
from a state whose interests the police are serving. The struggle to
transform spontaneous uprisings into long-term organizing is one that
the movement has faced for decades. The increase in frequency and size
of such uprisings is the quantitative change in this contradiction
between the oppressed nations and the imperialist state. The
transformation from spontaneous to organized, concerted movements is the
qualitative change that must happen to keep the struggle advancing. And
the lumpen organizations themselves must transform in order to play an
effective leadership role in that process.
Some in the oppressed nations are frustrated with the slow pace of
change. No doubt there have been a lot of peace treaties and calls from
lumpen organizations to be forces for the community that have not always
panned out to be all that we had hoped for. But just as there were
countless uprisings to overthrow slavery before enough quantitative
change had occurred in society to be successful, we are now in a stage
where we see many efforts to form national unity in New Afrika and to
politicize lumpen organizations. These efforts are part of the
quantitative change that has not yet made a qualitative leap to a new
stage of struggle. This is a process that faces setbacks from state
interference, but also responds to state interference with further
radicalization and mobilization.
Another sign that the movement is advancing is that lines are being
drawn between enemies and friends. It is becoming clear that many who
claim to oppose racism and police brutality actually care more about
private property and business as usual. So the progressive facade of
these forces is being torn off as they come face-to-face with the
unrefined reality of mass uprisings. But just as those false friends
become alienated from the struggle against police killings, the masses
who have a real interest in change will become energized by a movement
as it becomes more real and relatable.
Becoming more real requires having an analysis of the situation that is
based in materialism; that is real. The more our analysis reflects
reality and is able to harness the forces of change that are present,
the more support we will gain from those forces of change. Many people
are still stuck in metaphysical ways of thinking. They think this is
just the way things are and they will never change. Such people conclude
that the best thing to do is to try to avoid conflict with the
oppressor, keep your head down and just try to get by.
The dominant Amerikan analysis is also metaphysical and misleads the
masses who might otherwise be supportive of dialectical materialist
analysis. Racism is a metaphysical view of sociology. Using an
individualist approach to sociological questions, or replacing
psychology for sociology, is also metaphysical. Sociology studies groups
of humyns and can be used to predict how they will behave; psychology
studies individual humyns and attempts to predict how they will behave.
The metaphysical line goes that there are bad cops and there are bad
people who go to the protests. These bad people must be rooted out and
punished. As sociologists, we disagree, as this does not address the
source of the conflict.
The racist version is that these looters are thugs who have nothing to
do with Gray. If we look at history, these types of occurrences in
similar communities in the United $tates are almost always in the
response to the killing of New Afrikans by the U.$. state. This would
lead the scientific mind to develop a hypothesis that there is some
connection between the two. To test this hypothesis we could search
history for incidents when large groups of people loot stores when there
wasn’t a New Afrikan killed. If we find few-to-no examples of this, and
find many examples of the first situation, we might raise our hypothesis
to a theory, that can be used as a predictive tool.
In contrast, Amerikans say the people in Baltimore who looted stores are
opportunists, using the protests as an excuse to act out their real
goals. Like getting some free Doritos is a higher priority for them than
getting justice for the countless New Afrikans who have faced abuse and
murder under Amerikan occupation. Such a nihilistic view is almost
laughable. But let’s entertain it a little further. If we are to oppose
this position, we should propose a better explanation for the behavior
of many of the youth in Baltimore recently. As our comrade wrote, it is
a blind leading the blind problem, but why is that? Are New Afrikans
just not smart enough to figure out how to respond effectively? He
further wrote:
“I am a 25 year old Black man who taught myself how to read while
incarcerated. After being sent to prison a third time I learned my true
calling. There’s so much more to life, I am trying my hardest to be an
activist behind the prison walls and when I make it out on the streets.
I know first hand how it feels to be those Black children who’ve been
mis-educated and unheard, so the only way to express your emotions is
through lashing out because you don’t know any other way. The police
used to beat and harass me every single day because of my position in
the Crips, because I wasn’t properly educated, and because they had the
power. I’m no saint, but a lot of things I went through and/or other
Black children endured with police brutality often times was uncalled
for.
“If the shoe was on the other foot and someone killed a police officer,
there wouldn’t be a waiting period or an investigation to lock the
person up. The police might even go as far as persecution (execution
style) of the person themselves. The video clips taken during the
occurrence of Freddie Gray’s death should render enough information for
all of those cops involved to be taken into custody (without bail) until
a trial date is arranged.”
Let’s analyze this a little further. We live in a capitalist society,
where the primary motivator that keeps things moving is profit. Our
country is an imperialist country, that has always used force to kill
and steal from people to increase its wealth. When New Afrikans walk
around with $ signs hanging from their necks, and big portraits of
Benjamin Franklin on the back of their jeans, is there any doubt that
they are reflecting the dominant ideology of capitalism? On the other
hand, whenever a New Afrikan movement has arisen that promotes
socialism, communism, cooperative economics or anything of the sort,
they have faced repression. People who led New Afrikan youth against
capitalism have been imprisoned and killed. Could these be explanations
of why New Afrikan youth today are often caught up in fetishizing money
and wealth? Because they’ve been terrorized into it? The individualist
will pretend these things don’t matter and that it’s up to the
individual to make the right decisions, even when the individual does
not have all the information or knowledge they would need to do so
because that information has been purposely and systematically kept from
them. It amounts to blaming the victim.
Of course, a real Amerikan patriot supports the First Amendment, so they
will say “I support the protesters, but I oppose the looters.” The petty
bourgeois class interest is not hard to see in this dominant narrative.
People are literally putting more weight on private property than a New
Afrikan’s life. They might respond, that to put it such a way is a false
dichotomy, because it was not a situation where we either break some
windows and save Gray’s life or let Gray die at the hands of police. But
this again is based on their individualist worldview. In their view,
each incident is unique and isolated between the individuals involved
and must be assessed as such. There is no consideration of the
possibility of the mass uprising in Baltimore leading to a surge in
organizing, that then contributes to a new revolutionary movement that
30 years from now has put an end to imperialism in this country so that
New Afrikans’ lives are no longer threatened by police.
The more we look at the big picture, the worse things are for the
defenders of capitalism. When we look at the big picture we see things
like 80% of the world’s people have a material interest opposed to
capitalism because their basic needs are not being met. And that
capitalism has only been around for a few hundred years, a blip on the
timeline of humyn history. And that all systems change, all empires
fall. This constant change is a part of the dialectical worldview. This is why Mao talked about science being on the side of the
oppressed. Injustice is an objective fact. And the solutions to the
problems our society faces today are found in a thorough analysis of
that society.
We commend our comrade from Baltimore for taking the journey of teaching
himself to become an activist to serve the people. But how does one go
about learning in an effective way? There is so much information out
there, so many books and groups and so little time. Making effective use
of the collective knowledge of humynkind requires using the correct
scientific methods, and comparing different practices to see which ones
have worked. We hope this issue of ULK gives our readers some
guidance in this process of judging truth and knowledge. As always, we
have study materials that go more deeply into this than we can here in
ULK where we try to focus on news and agitation. Issue 45 of
ULK will focus on the practical side of how to organize study
groups in prison, and the question of how do we teach basic skills like
literacy. We hope those of you with experience will contribute to that
issue and help build the quantitative change that must come from the
oppressed masses themselves for any systematic change to take place.
My strive is to liberate So with my scribe I demonstrate Teaching
those education who seek to be free So with their own two eyes, the
truth they will see Oppressors abuse their authority with fallacious
tendencies To whom do officers rehabilitate, it ain’t you or me If
I could liberate just one, maybe two, or even three They will know
the cause of a revolutionary Realizing that one can make a
difference Look at Malcolm X or Nat Turner for instance Each with
their own position in the cause So this is why I strive to perfect my
flaws For their descendants is why my ancestors died So regardless
if I fail at least I tried
I’m currently incarcerated in a town I’ve never heard of called Smyrna,
Delaware. I’ve been locked down in the Security Housing Unit (SHU) for 7
out of 9 years. The SHU torture here is something unheard of in regards
to humanity. In my 7 years in the SHU I have received only 135 minutes
of recreation a week and 45 minutes a week for showers. This totals to
just 144 hours a year out of my cell, which is less than Gitmo, ADX, and
Pelikkkan Bay.
We are not able to buy food on level 1. This means you come from the
hole for 90 days only to do another 90 days in another building or tier.
After 90 days if you don’t catch a bogus write up for salt and pepper,
reckless eye balling, not making your bed, or a fishing line, then you
move to level 2. The reason the food buying is so critical is because
they have us on an unwilling SHU diet - half portions of what the rest
of the prisoners get outside.
Many guys like me have maxout dates, some are in the SHU with life for
possession of marijuana under a bogus third strike. There are also
misdemeanor convictions, parole violations, and probation violation. One
more recently killed himself while waiting on a bed at the half way
house.
They attempt to demoralize, dehumanize and ostracize us with their every
move, and every rule newly created is another quadruple jeopardy.
MIM(Prisons) responds: This comrade exposes more evidence of the
unjust torture that are long-term control units. These exist in prisons
across the country, and are the target of our campaign to shut down
prison control units. There is no possible justification for the use of
this extreme isolation, starvation diets, and inhumyn conditions. These
units are tools of social control, primarily targetting prison
activists, oppressed nations and others deemed a threat to the Amerikan
criminal injustice system.
The rehabilitation program for abused dogs at Perry Correctional
Institution (PCI) is commendable. Prisoners have the primary
responsibility to care for and rehabilitate abused animals. Selected
prisoners have dogs assigned to them and they literally spend all of
their time with these dogs; they even have to share a 6 by 10 foot cell
with them. This is a remarkable program wherein prisoners are allowed to
show love, compassion, and empathy for their fellow creatures.
Being that these dogs have been abused, it is expected that it will take
some time for them to be fully rehabilitated. It is also expected that
these animals remember their former abuse and at times may become
scared, agitated, and even dangerous. Example in point: At least two of
the K-9s in the program here at PCI (Shep and Pippin) have bitten
people. Nevertheless, instead of these dogs being euthanized, they are
allowed to remain in the rehabilitation program and even to be sent to
live with families out in society. The program organizers and the
prisoners themselves realize that real rehabilitation takes time,
patience, compassion, love, and understanding. In contrast, there are
many prisoners here (including myself) who have been given Life Without
Parole (LWOP) under South Carolina’s two-strikes law, who may never see
their families again.
It is no secret that a large number of imprisoned people come from
families and homes where abuse has been rampant. Why is there no
rehabilitation program for them? Do we not afford human beings equal
rights with dogs? The truthful and troubling answer is no.
Here at PCI prisoners see staff members hugging and kissing the dogs,
but they themselves are not given common or even professional courtesy.
And in fact, we are disrespected on a daily basis, from the warden all
the way down to new officers who haven’t even been certified yet.
The dogs are fed with expensive dog food such as Purina, while the South
Carolina Department of Corruptions (SCDC) brags about feeding prisoners
for less than a dollar a day. The dogs are given brand new mattresses
stacked up to sleep on, but a prisoner has to damn near go through an
act of congress to get anything new around here. The dogs have new
stainless steel bowls to eat out of, while we have plastic trays that
are peeling so bad that each time someone eats in the mess hall, they
are assured a healthy diet of plastic.
I’ve complained continuously about the peeling trays to several staff
members (Lt. Church, Lt. Wilson, Cpt. Williams, food service employees
J. Husband and B. Olsen) and even filed a grievance. But we are still
eating plastic.
I believe that animals are a source of therapy for human beings,
especially those human beings who are denied the basic rights of
humanity itself. We love these abused animals, because we know their
plight and can feel their pain. And as these dogs are being
rehabilitated so that they can be placed in loving homes, we are being
treated worse than dogs.
How is it that people can rationalize and believe the rehabilitation of
a dog, but not a man? It is a shame and a travesty that there is a
genuine rehabilitation program here at PCI for dogs, but not for humans.
The dogs have People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Why
don’t prisoners have People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans (PETH)?
The simple truth of the matter is that the landlords of these gated
communities don’t believe in rehabilitation for the human residents.
MIM(Prisons) adds: This comrade’s off-the-cuff proposal for a
People for the Ethical Treatment of Humyns (PETH) organization
underscores an important point about capitalism: it is based on treating
humyns as nothing more than labor to create profit, or worse, as an
obstacle to stealing resources. There are many compassionate people in
the First World who devote much time and money to bettering the
treatment of animals while ignoring the plight of people around the
world suffering in truly unlivable conditions, without clean water,
access to medical care, sufficient food, and often all this while in
danger from a war initiated by the imperialists to gain greater control
of strategic resources.
MIM(Prisons) is a part of this PETH battle, in the broader context of
opposing the imperialist system that is fundamentally inhumyn. We are
fighting for a world where no people have power to oppress other people.
In these conditions we will be able to create a society where people do
not die unnecessarily, and do not suffer so that others can profit. This
will only be possible when we overthrow imperialism, the imperialists
won’t make these changes out of the kindness of their hearts because the
exploitation and oppression of humyns is an integral part of the profit
system.
I’m writing because here in Texas the legislature or some “committee”
got the bright idea to forbid prisoners the ability to purchase
stationary materials (writing paper, typing paper, envelopes of all
kinds, and carbon paper) from outside vendors. This really is felt by
those who do legal work and those who refuse to support this state. We
are now obligated to further support it by purchasing stationary from
commissary.
Before this rule was adopted and enforced, one could purchase stationary
items from the outside. This was especially good while on a unit
lockdown when one needed paper (especially in litigation), because one
could do an outside purchase and still get the paper. On a unit lockdown
all movement comes to a halt! No commissary, nothing. So no commissary,
no paper.
Now, of course, this system has a rule where after seven days on a
lockdown one can use the state’s “indigent” process, even having funds
in one’s account. But what the rule states, and what the indigent supply
supervisor (usually the law library supervisor) does, are two different
things. Let’s say it’s a four week lockdown. So the first week is “free”
or s/he doesn’t have to worry about filling out stationary requests.
Then week two comes along and all those requests come in. Now the
supervisor claims that there’s “too many” requests and can’t get around
to sending the requester their “assigned” indigent supply envelope
(ISE). There goes week two, with no paper. Now, each building has their
“assigned” request day so this wise ass stupid-visor knows which day is
the building’s request day. S/he then sends the ISE on the day that the
requests are to be made – there goes week three. Week four, you finally
make your request, but you come off lockdown, with no supplies sent, and
you haven’t written in a whole month. Then you have to wait to go to the
store.
By the time any grievance is heard the stupid-visor now has his goons
kicking down your door searching all your “legal work” under the guise
of “probable cause” of written contraband, but really it’s retaliation.
After all your shit has been ransacked and possibly stolen, in the end
you’ve been fucked good with no claim upon which relief can be granted.
eCommDirect usually allows people on the outside to purchase commissary
items for prisoners, but they are not allowed during a lockdown. And if
you’re in a custody level of what’s known in Texas as a G-4 or closed
custody there are no eComms allowed any time anyway.
So what does the system do to stop you if you’re a writ writer? Make you
a G-4 or closed custody. And you can be disciplined for anything! The
way the rule reads, an open bag of chips is “contraband” cause it’s not
as you bought it! Everyone with a little sense will know that the prison
system disciplinary process is only a means of control.
MIM(Prisons adds: Beyond just the disciplinary process inside
prisons, the entire prison system, from denial of writing materials, to
long-term isolation, is set up for social control. There’s nothing
rehabilitative or corrective about the Amerikan criminal injustice
system. Denial of paper and envelopes is a clever way for Texas to try
to stop people from using the grievance and legal system to address
injustices. It is no surprise that many prisoners turn to physical
violence when all other avenues are cut off. But in the face of this
increased repression we call on all prisoners to come together, build
unity and peace and join a broader movement to fight both these specific
injustices and the broader imperialist system. United we can have an
impact and build for revolutionary change!
They say “a chain is only as strong as its weakest link” So all
this prison violence gives me the creeps Those prison wars that help
keep us all blindfolded We don’t see where all that has been
going I can feel it as if these walls are closing in on me But
somehow I’m still opening up some cell doors As if I have the
key For all those who want to be freed Mentally The last thing
we need is to make one another enemy So whoever’s serving time, we
have to draw a line That makes room for some peace Do you feel
me? If so, throw up them deuces That gives us all a sign that
you’re all for Making peace!
Locking us down simply because they can Trying to break us down to
make us feel less of a man Instill hate in us, turning us against
each other When will we utilize our 3rd eye which is the
mind Through its strength alone it will break these chains that got
us blind We must stand as one together, we must unite Realize
violence is not the only way to fight So much can be done by the
force of a powerful voice Confined behind these walls but my mind
will never be under lock and key Exercise my mind daily so there’s no
stopping me
Nosotros los que estamos en Segregación Administrativa fuimos puestos
aquí por ser parte de un STG (Grupo de Amenaza a la Seguridad),
supuestamente un pandillero confirmado. En el 2002 fui encerrado en
Segregación Administrativa por corresponder con los presos de otra
unidad que fueron confirmados como STG. Salí de prisión en el 2004, y
recientemente regresé a prisión este año, nuevamente me encuentro en
Segregación Administrativa aún no siendo parte de una pandilla. He
tratado de escribirle a los oficiales que investigan a las pandillas,
también escribí un reporte sobre mi asociación en el pasado; me dijeron
que iba a ir a un programa (GRAD) diseñado para ex-pandilleros. Todavía
estoy esperando.
Durante el tiempo en Segregación Administrativa, debemos de recibir una
hora de ejercicio (recreo) por día, como parte de nuestros derechos. Yo
he estado en esta unidad por seis meses y solo he salido a recreación
dos veces. He escrito una queja como primer paso, solo me dijeron que me
darán una respuesta cuando el personal lo permita. La población general
recibe recreación diariamente, y tienen el personal suficiente para
esculcar las celdas cuando salimos a bañarnos cada-otro-día. Hay otras
unidades a las cuales les falta personal, pero todavía reciben su hora
de recreación. Es triste porque unos necesitan el ejercicio por razones
medicas y todos lo necesitamos por razones mentales. Estar
constantemente en la celda del diario es una batalla mental y un
problema de salud serio.
MIM(Prisiones) responde: En Under Lock & Key (ULK41)
nosotros publicamos unos relatos de validación pandillera que han sido
usados como instrumentos de control social.
El STG (Grupo de Amenaza a la Seguridad) está diseñado para sujetarse
sobre las cabezas de los presos que son más conscientes en la política,
y después es usado con excusa para aislarlos de los demás. Para la
administración es irrelevante si los individuos validados se afilian con
una organización lumpen. Hay lugares que te clasifican como una STG solo
por trabajar/estudiar con MIM(Prisiones). Nosotros publicamos relatos
como este para demostrar las condiciones de tortura en estos programas
de aislamiento, y el arbitrario uso que el “STG” marca. En realidad no
confiamos en el sistema de injusticia, que decida quien es una amenaza a
la seguridad: Las amenazas más grandes a la seguridad se presentan en el
gobierno Amerikano y en el ejercito y sistema de prisiones.
