Across the country support for incarcerated people has become a rallying cry for all progressive people and organizations. Simultaneously, spontaneous prison actions of resistance have become increasingly regular in the face of the Coronavirus pandemic.

Inmates at the Lansing Correctional Facility in Kansas City started a tier wide uprising forcing guards to retreat from the section of the prison, cellhouse C, where incarcerated people set fires and stormed offices. A rallying call from the prisoner-made footage was All Gas No Mask! a play on the expression All Gas No Brakes to mean that there is no turning back now because of the lack of life saving personal protective equipment.

Other inmates in the video explained that they were being denied showers, being infected by guards, and even being denied food and dealing with water shutoffs in sinks and toiletsthe impassioned explanation ended with a frustrated We tired of talking! A second prisoner testimonial in the facebook livestream repeated yall dont wanna give us no healthcare?! This what we do, and proceeded to smash prison offices.

The Lansing prison unit has already made the news prior to the riot for having confirmed Covid-19 cases in 16 staff and 12 inmates. Prison officials contained the rebellion after 10 hours, and have only committed so far to reducing movement and intermingling of the incarcerated population to the degree that it is possible. But on Friday, Kansas Corrections Secretary Jeff Zmuda answered questions during Governor Kellys news conference stating that there could be no social distancing because of the structure of the prison and that at best they could only hope to prevent intermingling of cohorts. Prisoners understood this to mean that they had no choice but to rise up.

A second viral video shot on a smuggled cell phone by Aaron DeShawn Campbell, an inmate at FCI Elkton, a federal prison in Ohio where three people have died from COVID-19 over the past week and at least 20 others are currently hospitalized, was a desperate plea for help. Campbell shows his cell mates laying still and explaining his previous cell mates have already been removed from general population because of the virus, They got this motherfucker in my room. How the fuck am I supposed to live? They talk to us about staying six feet away, they give us these little masks, but they literally like leaving us in here to die. Campbell then shows from his window view a tent erected on the rec yard basket ball court where they carrying the bodies too. Campbell explains in the 20 minute facebook live video that medical staff in the low security federal unit said get ready because 80 percent of people in the unit are going to die. Were stuck in here, Campbell concludes.

Prison officials have responded to the viral video by claiming that it is one giant lie, even though former inmates have confirmed that the tent is indeed outside of the medical and special housing (solitary confinement) units.

In Chicago, a second prisoner at the Cook County Jail has died of COVID-19. Nearly 300 prisoners and more than 100 staff at the jail have tested positive. On Thursday, prisoners posted signs in the windows of their cells reading Help, no supply and Were dying. Of course, the inmates are not lying as Chicagos Cook County Jail has become the largest known single source of new Covid-19 infectionsin a macabre race to worst of all worlds with New York Citys notorious Rikers Island Jail.

With multiple deaths already recorded, the Cook County Jail is under fire for allowing one person to die handcuffed to a hospital bed, ankles and wrists, guarded 24 hours by armed correctional officers. As of Thursday, 276 inmates and at least 115 staff members had tested positive for the coronavirus. And yet, as The New York Times notes, the authorities still havent tested all of the jails 4,500 inmates.

A lawsuit has helped move along the process of comprehensive and systematic testing in the jail, but all reports form a constellation of neglect and cruel mismanagement. Incarcerated people in the jail are furious with the glacial pace of relief efforts, and the doubling down of repression. As the situation has grown more dire, incarcerated people have taken bolder action, such as attacking guards in the middle of the night in order to take their keys to let people out. The situation was quickly controlled by authorities, but the action alone signals the level of struggle that incarcerated people are willing to take up in response to the pandemic.

In Oregons Columbia River Correctional Facility, tension erupted into physical conflict with correctional officers, forcing guards to retreat into their offices and hole up. One inmate reported, People are tired of having inadequate cleaning supplies, of not being given masks, of being afraid to report feeling sick [sick people are reportedly being quarantined in solitary confinement cells], of not having enough soap. A second incarcerated person reported, Guards were telling us that we couldnt wear masks, said the inmate, who asked for anonymity out of fear of retaliation. The [two units] stood up and said, No, you dont get to dictate our health. We outnumber you and were not going to take it anymore. Essentially, they forced the guards out of their units for about three hours.

Inmates and criminal justice advocates have called on Gov. Kate Brown to release inmates who are nearing the end of their sentence to reduce the population size of Oregons prisons and prevent further spread of COVID-19. On Monday, seven Oregon prisoners filed a lawsuit against Brown and the Oregon Department of Corrections, accusing state officials of subjecting inmates to cruel and unusual punishment by not adequately protecting prisoners from COVID-19. Brown has since requested information from ODOC related to the possible early release of inmates,

In Seattle, Columbia Legal Services sued the state late last month on behalf of five inmates, asking the state Supreme Court to compel the release of everyone in Department of Corrections custody who is 50 or older; have serious health problems; or are scheduled for release in the next 18 months. Advocates have said few exceptions should be made to such categorical releases.

This lawsuit came as a response to a massive disturbance in the Monroe Correctional Complex after positive cases were reported. Correctional Officers offered Mcdonalds meals to younger inmates to convince them to move to the open air dormitories common to minimum security yards in which inmates are warehoused in 150 man cages with bunk beds so that older inmates could be relocated to the two-man cells. Inmates refused to move citing the lack of comprehensive cleaning in the infected tier citing that they will not allow guards to play god with [their lives]. Inmated rebelled, destroying property and seizing fire extinguishers, threatening to take guards hostage.

Official efforts to decarcerate: too little, too slow

North Dakota and Utah were among a handful of states that moved to identify inmates who might be eligible for release in order to reduce prison populations. Utah began freeing the first of at least 80 inmates this month who both had a place to live that was approved by officials and had already been scheduled for release within the next three months. North Dakota planned to release more than 50 prisoners.

Efforts such as these, could be considered a step in the right direction, but relative to the risk they dont even constitute a half step. 2.3 million incarcerated people are at risk of contracting this virus. So far, efforts to provide masks have been pitiful and stand in stark contrast to policies which dictate that prison labor will be used to make masks for the guards, or dig mass graves for their fellow incarcerated people.

Policies which have put a freeze on family visits have not prevented the spread of the virus almost at all since it is primarily through prison workers that the virus is entering the rotting criminal justice system. The allocation of one bottle of bleach for an entire prison unit, as was the case in an Alabama unit, are similar symptoms of the larger truth that the state is putting millions of people in position to die a premature and painful death.

Even the prison health boards are saying, despite their best efforts, that testing has been woefully insufficient and they cant claim to know the full extent of the spread since limited testing kits have led to only testing those guards and inmates who show serious symptoms.

Federal prisons, state prisons, private prisons, local jails, juvenile facilities, and I.C.E. detentions all need to move much faster and much more boldly towards decarceration on a mass scale. Almost all incarcerated people 50 or over, within the last few years of their outrageously long sentences, those with chronic illnesses, those with property crimes or victimless crimes, and so many more need to be released this very hour. We are at an impasse in which the state is going to decide if hundreds of thousands if not millions deserve a death sentence or not.

The capitalist ruling class has exponentially increased reliance on incarceration to resolve the deepening injustices of capitalism over the years: massive unemployment, de-industrialization, gentrification, homelessness, and debt. It has created a Frankensteins monster criminal justice system, which is getting more and more bold as their ranks swell and the neglect grows more and more nakedly hostile.

The rich and powerful show no inclination in stopping this rhythm. One Philadelphia judge denied every bid for early release, for a total of 380 denials in 2 days.

But that does not mean that authorities are immune from pressure by the people. New Jersey has released up to 20 percent of ICE detainees after imprisoned immigrants began a unit wide hunger strike that was sustained for weeks demanding the administration to act immediately.

The struggle will continue

What lessons can we draw from this moment in prison activism? So far, we are seeing a single pattern everywhere: prison uprisings, protest and lawsuits from supporters on the outside, and some initial victories. The struggle inside the prisons gives concrete movement for activists to latch on to in order to win life-saving reforms. We can reasonably predict that the struggle will not slow down, but rather it will intensify.

The path forward is obviously difficult for those behind bars, but it is righteous. An incarcerated person fled a federal correctional facility in North Carolina only to give a TV interview the next day: I take ownership of having to serve my time, said Richard R. Cephas, 54, who had been at the Federal Correctional Complex serving time on a drug conviction. I signed up for a jail sentence, not a death sentence. This powerful testimonial of Cephas encapsulates perfectly the dichotomy born out here: the prisons must release the people, or the people will find a way to release themselves to escape death.

And it may take more than a few more Atticas to win necessary reforms and massive release of incarcerated people. But ultimately it will take a revolution to win justice for the working class incarcerated or otherwise. The criminal capitalist government, the gangsterism of the courts, and the sadism of every prison warden have shown themselves to be the true monsters.

George Jackson, revolutionary socialist and hero to the prison struggle, often quoted Ho Chi Minh When the Prison gates fly open the real dragon will fly out. We say the sooner the better. Free the people! All gas no mask!

All Gas No Mask!: In life and death situation, inmates rebel... - Liberation

A plague is upon us and, like Moses, Americas self-appointed liberators want to use it as an excuse to free captives.

Except todays prisoners are dangerous, violent criminals and their shepherds are progressive abolish prison activists and politicians who view COVID-19 as an opportunity to push their agenda.

Tight quarters and unsanitary conditions on the inside threaten the well-being of Americas worstits criminals. Well, thats their current excuse.

Recently, author and former federal inmate Conrad Black made a similar point on these pages.

Thus, we must release criminals to protect them from coronavirus. But it will not protect us from them, as most released prisoners are not being tested for the virus prior to their release.

Tens of thousands of potentially exposed inmates are now free to spread the disease and mayhem alike. In Florida, we discovered (almost a month after the incident) the first known coronavirus-release fatalityby gunshot, not respiratory failure. Repeat felon and 35-time arrestee Joseph Williams murdered a man just a day after the county sheriff sprung him.

But the pro-criminal lobby is undeterred as the ACLU is suing federal, state, and local agencies to free dangerous convicted criminals and illegal aliens amidst the pandemic. And they are winning their freedom.

They are even running TV ads reminiscent of anti-animal abuse com

With most states under stay at home orders and many jurisdictions threatening jail time for violators, it is rich with irony that the Left sees the outbreak as an opportunity for their long-time goal: letting criminals walk free.

In corona-world, honest citizens are confined to their homes, and their movements are limited under the threat of prison. Meanwhile, to prevent the viruss spread inside the Big House, prisoners must be freed.

If the abolish prisons contingent has its way, the law-abiding must live in cages as lawbreakers leave theirs. They want the world turned upside down.

But that would be unwise, unhealthy, and unsafe.

The first faulty assumption behind the release push is that released criminals will comply with quarantine rules.

Put yourself in the shoes of a man who has spent half his life in a cage, only to be released to sit in another cage after many months, if not years. Would you spend your newfound freedom on the couch watching The Ellen Show?

Moreover, these individuals are detained for breaking the law, so the presumption that they will abide civil orders to socially isolate is laughable.

Public health is further endangered by the very nature of pandemic-era crime. Violent acts almost always involve physical contact and force, that often includes the transmission of bodily fluids. If you punch someone in the nose, they begin to bleed, your fist gets cut and now theres yet another direct contact point for spreading coronavirus.

Similarly, drug dealingthe underlying crime of many of the nonviolent offenders that the progressives want outis unsanitary, to say the least. From their production and wholesale acquisition and transportation to street-level distribution and consumption, illegal narcotics are a dirty business with hundredsif not thousandsof unwashed hands touching and manipulating the substances. Add to that the unknown chemicals and diluting agents used in making them or the filthy and diseased implements (needles) used to consume them. Youd be better off dining on bat soup.

Humanitarian releases are no solution; instead, they are a human travesty. The social service agencies that these ex-prisoners need including Medicaid providers, substance abuse clinics, and government assistance offices are all but closed.

If properly equipped and regimented, prisons and jails can provide sanitation, medical care, and monitoring services more effectively than they could be acquired outside the walls. They often already implement proceduresrotating meal times, cell lockdowns, and protective equipment and sanitationon an as-needed basis for security and health reasons.

Furthermore, the morbidity-enhancing health factorssmoking history, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity etc.arent debilitating until you develop coronavirus symptoms. These prisoners arent invalids but they are ticking time bombs.

Yet they are being set free to explode amongst us. A few weeks ago, California Governor Gavin Newsom commuted the sentences of 21 killers and released them on compassionate grounds. New York has released child sex offenders. Dozens of other states and localities have similar mass releases underway including New Jersey and Pennsylvania which are planning to release thousands more temporarily.

That temporary part makes this whole effort seem like the theatre of the absurd. The reason is simplethe monitoring agencies (parole and probation offices) have largely shut down across the country to fight the virus spread. The 3500 now-former inmates California released last week have limited to no oversight and, since the non-profits and state agencies that aid releasees are shuttered, they also have no support.

But that is exactly what the ACLU wants: [parole and probation agents] should cease in-person check-ins to accommodate the need for social distancing, and should allow check-ins to occur by voice or video call. Where those technologies are not accessible to a person under supervision, minimize or temporarily suspenheck-in requirements.

Data clearly shows that former prisoners without monitoring or help are almost certain to re-offendreturning to the life of crime they know. And some are busy proving it.

New York repeat offender Daniel Vargas was arrested before the pandemic for violating his parole. Governor Cuomo ordered Vargas and 1,100 other violators freed at the end of March. Then Vargas brutally mugged an elderly man in the Bronx for $80.

In Utah, a nonviolent drug offender, Joshua Haskell, was first released from state prison and then cut loose from a halfway house. Haskell tied up a woman, held her at knifepoint, and threatened her life.

In Chicago, the prisons and jails are hiding the names of releaseeseven from the police. The Windy City has seen gun violence and murder continue apace despite a supposed pandemic crime dip. Similarly, major city shooters arent abiding the lockdownsBaltimore and Washington, D.C. have seen shootings and murders increase since the pandemic started.

Even the oft-spouted claims that overall crime is plummeting as criminals stay at home are terribly misleading. In addition to there being fewer victims of opportunity, police are hamstrung by enforcing social distancing or being quarantined themselves. They are rightly worried about the dangers of COVID to themselves and are reluctant to police proactively. Some agencies have even stopped taking reports for or investigating victimless crimes like burglary. Crime is not necessarily down, it is just hidden from all but the criminals and their victims.

In our fight against COVID-19, freeing prisoners could well make us all sicker, and certainly not safer.

Just Say 'No' to the Outbreak Jailbreak - American Greatness

COVID-19 has claimed its share of victims, and it will surely claim a good number more. Few, though, will notice the death of the highest-profile victim of this virus: the American spirit.

The death of the American spirit will go unnoticed because most of us are so petrified that we dare not look up from the holes were hiding in. The death of the American spirit will go unnoticed because the virus didnt deal a mighty blow; it simply dropped the last of a centurys worth of straws on to a once-strong camels back.

We have fallen far since 1862 when Abraham Lincoln, in the midst of the Civil War, called the United States the last best hope of earth. That war claimed 750,000 American lives, or 2.5 percent of the population. If 2.5 percent of our population died today, 8 million souls would be lost a number equivalent to the entire population of New York City.

Our past is replete with heroes who gave their lives to keep the flame of liberty alive. From the Founders who risked their lives, fortunes and sacred honor, to the generation that settled the problem of American slavery, to the Lost and the Greatest Generations who beat back fascism in the world wars, to the millions who took their places silently in the Cold War, America has been a beacon of liberty to the rest of the world.

But no more. In the face of COVID-19, we have become a nation of cowards and snitches.

It begins in the cesspools of social media, where the mealy-mouthed are emboldened to the point that they refer to citizens who question the need to be completely locked down as murderers. From there, its a short walk to reporting their neighbors to the authorities for every shelter-in-place violation, be it real or perceived.

It would be charitable to refer to ourselves now as a nation of Gladys Kravitzes, but we have clearly crossed the line from annoying busybodies to authoritarian wannabes.

Reports of snitching are coming in from across the country. Americans, it seems, cant wait to use the force of government against those with whom they disagree. And politicians of both parties, ever hungry for more power, are happy to oblige.

Yet, this is not new.

Weve been heading in this direction for a very long time. For evidence, see the hundreds of thousands of pages of federal regulations, the millions of Americans incarcerated for victimless crimes, the tens of millions of jobs that require government permission to perform, and the unsustainable financial obligations our government places on future generations.

The U.S. Constitution defines a government of limited and enumerated powers. It is a list of a few specific things the people agreed that the federal government could do.

To drive the point home, the Bill of Rights lists things the government may never do. Americans have been ignoring both lists for the better part of a century now. Where the Founders intended the states as a counterweight to federal overreach, we now have a contest among governors to see which can clamp down hardest on social and economic life.

The sad truth is that too many Americans find freedom so uncomfortable and frightening that they welcome authoritarianism. Our argument is over which kind. Do we want the leftist variant, which culminates in a Stasi-style snitch-state, or the strongman version, in which every decision is made from on high?

We should remember the overwhelming cost that past generations paid in blood to give us, their posterity, the gift of liberty.

Lincolns last best hope on earth, bent after a century of infringements on our liberty, has buckled under the last straw of a virus.

Farewell to 'Last Best Hope on Earth' - InsideSources

By Nick Givas | Fox News

Over 16K US Inmates Have Been Released As Coronavirus Crisis Has Progressed - Herald Pubs

Amazing Turnout at Assembly Event in Concord Despite Bad Weather

The last several weeks have been hard to handle as a freedom lover. Seeing Americans obediently do whatever the government goons tell them isnt really a surprise, but still sad and depressing to witness. Though I am an optimist, even Ive been pretty disillusioned as a result of the widespread obedience that is leading to massive economic and personal destruction as businesses close and jobs are lost.

A couple of weeks ago, NH gubernatorial candidate Nobody announced an event at the state house that attracted over a dozen attendees to violate the New Hampshire governors order not to gather in groups of ten or more. Today, in an event created by Health Freedom NH a much larger group of approximately 400 freedom-loving people descended on the state house in cold, rainy weather to protest the ongoing tyranny here in the supposedly Live Free or Die state. Police didnt even bother to drive by.

Hundreds were together on the pavement by Main St, ignoring the anti-human social distancing orders as dozens of cars were circling the nearby roads honking in support, many adorned with signs and flags. It was refreshing to see so many people acting free and ignoring the orders of HIS EXCELLENCY which is actually how the orders refer to Chris Sununu, the republican governor of New Hampshire.

Many creative signs were present, though the Trump supporters seem confused. Do they think Trump somehow supports freedom? While some of his words initially on Twitter regarding Coronavirus were critical, he quickly fell in line and has been promoting the rise of the medical authoritarian state. At least they arent happy with Sununu.

My favorite sign was the guy in a V-mask whose sign read THE REAL VIRUS IS FEAR. I also liked ALL BUSINESSES ARE ESSENTIAL.

The support for freedom was refreshing. Im glad to be here in New Hampshire where people still care about freedom. Maybe there is hope after all.

Missed todays event? Theres another protest event slated for the State House in Concord on Monday, April 20th at 4:20pm, which will also feature open cannabis use as the annual 420 rally has for over a decade. Maybe the one after that should happen out front of Sununus house
