The New York Times and The Marshall Project collaborated on an amazing story about D&D players on Texas Death Row, which they released today. Here's a link to the article on The Marshall Project's website so you can avoid the NYT paywall (assuming it applies here). It can be a hard read, but it's worth it.

Julia Murat's Regra 34 is a fine film with a politics as complex as the situation it deals with. Deserves more than one viewing.
Before listening to Sol Miranda (the lead actor) I didn't realise how rare it was to have #black protagonists in #Brazilian film.
The film weaves themes of #sexwork, #racism, #carceralstate, #domesticabuse and #bdsm desire together.

"Family policing abolitionists are making the long overdue case that the child welfare system is perniciously entangled with other carceral state systems like immigration enforcement and the criminal punishment system.[vi] But what is often left out of these narratives is that the family itself is a state institution, and it functions as a part of, not an externality to, carceral systems."

A little video of my art installation from the ‘Art as Counter Narrative’ exhibit at the recent Carceral Geography Conference at @unimelb.
This was big emotional & creative labour, revisiting harsh memories from nine years of violent psychiatric treatment.

Just published a paper in LSR on #collateralconsequences, #juries, and the #carceralstate. Interviews with 103 court officials reveal that being perceived as an offender or victim of crime (or proximate to one) is a common basis for jury exclusion. We argue that such exclusion is a collateral consequence of mass criminalization, with racialized and gendered effects that maintain law's inequality.

Can’t wait for Jocelyn Simonson’s forthcoming book Radical Acts of Justice to drop next year. The book “tells the stories of ordinary people joining together in collective acts of resistance” against the carceral state.

"No country that has a serious criminal justice system, including Canada and the United Kingdom, should have an extradition treaty with the United States — the people its lawless prosecutors indict are effectively extradited straight into the bloated and corrupt American prison system."
