"An incarcerated person dies every other day in the Alabama prison system, according to Alabama Appleseed Center for Law & Justice. A total of at least 270 people died in the prison system in 2022, out of a total of about 19,000 prisoners. So far this year, that number is at least 110.
The actual numbers, the group says, are likely much higher. The Alabama Department of Corrections has stopped releasing reports on deaths in the prison system."
Abolish the state and its concentration camps! Our people are being executed daily!

Daily reminder that prisons exist solely to be a source of slave labor, punish the poor, and demoralize anyone who believes in a less corrupt, inhumane mode of existence than unfettered capitalism
Hell of a story from a perspective we’re rarely allowed. I’ll buy Derrol Shaw a beer, if he’s ever let out.
Kinda surprising to even see the word rehabilitation toward the end. Can’t remember the last time I’ve heard anyone pretending prisons have anything to do with rehab (but maybe that’s on me — I don’t much listen to the bullshitters).
Prisons are about cruelty.
Our carceral model is just holding pens that use time to bleed testosterone, vigor, and social connections out of members of the underclass, particularly men of color, leaving them compliant husks.
Darn it’s almost like prisons are inhumane and should be reserved for serious credible threats to our society.
