That Coffee Creek keeps having these issues abs the DA's office keeps acting shocked is the dumbest bullshit. They know women are being assaulted, and they literally don't care. The opinion is that is just prison which says a whole lot about the institution as a whole. #ACAB #1312Always #ORPol #PrisonIndustrialComplex

The #US #legal system is not at all about #justice, but about justifying our #carceral #PrisonIndustrialComplex which imprisons people at a much higher rate than any other country—about as many as #China—while, obscenely, inhumanely, and unjustly, creating massive #profits for both "#PrivatePrison" #corporations and contractors for #government-run #jails and #prisons.

Our entire system must be rebuilt, and #courtrooms need to be included in that process.

Wouldn't it be great to see the backside of the #PrisonIndustrialComplex?

@wausaupilot "Will be substituting those for gloves made by #US #prisoners." – possibly

@CDeorum
If you truely believe those narrative, and if you saw Parenti's explanation of events you would take them with a large grain of salt, you don't need to look to far flung places to assert human rights.

See #prisonIndustrialComplex (or simply #slavery) the funding of extremist malitias and aiding illicit trades, etc.

Heck, the bombing of Japan at the end of #WWII that was deemed not neccessary?

@mutter01 @augieray

The #PrisonIndustrialComplex is very real

Yesterday members of SURJ Bay Area showed up alongside community members and crime victims in support of Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. Together we are demanding that the anti-Price media, including ABC7 News, and those who lost the election stop lying and unjustly attacking the county’s first Black woman District Attorney.

We cannot let those who support the #PrisonIndustrialComplex tear down the transformative work that DA Price has done in the first one hundred days.

'Commodifying the human body': Plan for prisoners to cut sentences by donating organs https://www.sbs.com.au/news/dateline/article/commodifying-the-human-body-plan-for-prisoners-to-cut-sentences-by-donating-organs/9ciik79sw #uspol #transplant #donation #prison #PrisonIndustrialComplex

#ACAB includes judges and prosecutors, too. This should be obvious.

Judges and prosecutors play games with people's fates every day, based on some rules that the government wrote down. Some deliberate carefully, some don't; it doesn't matter. There's no incentive to treat the defendant as a deserving human being. Nothing can come of a case except either punishment or nothing at all, which is inherently a misanthropic system. Nobody needs or deserves that.

Judges and prosecutors can only live with themselves because they have a radically different mindset from us. They are so detached from the real-world effects of their own actions, so entitled to wielding absolute power over other people, that they summon unfathomable cruelty upon their defendants without batting an eye. In the #Bureaucracy of the #PIC, a years-long #Prison sentence for one person is simply a matter of paperwork for another. They do not know, nor want to know, the realities of the places they send other people to regularly.

This is part of why #Abolition must encompass not only the #Police, but also prisons and every level of the punitive legal system and #PrisonIndustrialComplex. It must all be replaced with systems of #TransformativeJustice that include eliminating the systemic causes of violence, reducing its harm, eliminating the ideology of law, and constructing ways to de-escalate and heal harm when it is caused. We also need voluntary community defense to respond to violent threats, again grounded in democratic community participation and transformative justice instead of law, punishment, and the state.

In practice, some ways we can implement this are by refusing to call the police when crimes are committed: ignoring them when possible, and offering non-punitive alternatives otherwise (eg. they could repair the broken item, people who are fighting could be away from each other for a day and talk about it the next day, you could offer to pay for a therapist), by creating social costs to being a #Cop, prosecutor, or judge in the forms of major annoyance and isolation (eg. cutting them out of our lives if we know any, egging cop cars and courthouses), by donating to bail funds, and by implementing a #MutualAid economy where basic needs are provided for collectively by the community for free: #CommunityGardening, #LibraryOfThings, free education collectives, etc.

Holy fucking crap, this is sick AF.

Back in the 1960s, when organ transplants were first becoming practical, Larry Niven wrote some cautionary tales about why and how people might start legally mandating execution for more crimes to feed the organ banks.

Thankfully, that didn't happen... until this. Why are we on the worst timeline? Why are we building #dystopia instead of something nice? https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/feb/01/massachusetts-prisoners-organ-donations #PrisonIndustrialComplex

@kkarhan @DaemonFC

Yes, which means that we must end the #ForProfitPrison Industrial Complez to eliminate financial incentive for prosecuting those.
