"#August21 is the day Benigno “#Ninoy” Aquino Jr., one of the staunchest and, often, loneliest political figures who stood up against the dictatorship of #FerdinandMarcosSr., was gunned down at was then called the Manila International Airport. Aquino had returned to Manila, ignoring the advice of both friends and foes, after years of exile in the United States." #Philippines #NinoyAquino

Les prisonniers aux États-Unis organiseront demain une grève nationale, le 21 août, exigeant « des conditions de vie humaines, l'accès à la réadaptation, une réforme de la détermination de la peine et la fin de l'esclavage moderne ».

The average ‘wage’ paid to prisoners across the US is 20c an hour. In some states, prisoners have to work for free. They get no sick leave, no holiday pay, and working conditions are often dangerously unsafe. #August21
Slavery never ended in the US. It’s dressed up as ‘correction’ but the US carceral system has no interest in, or motivation for, rehabilitation. On the contrary, recidivism is good for business because it ensures a steady labour supply. #August21
More than 1% of the US resident population is currently incarcerated. That’s close to 2½ million people, mostly from poor and working class backgrounds, mostly black and Hispanic men. Many are in private for-profit prisons where they are forced to work without pay. #August21
