"These questions, combined with a murder that tore into my own family, inspired me, several years ago, to volunteer to witness an execution—one of 13 carried out at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana, during the final six months of Donald Trump’s first term." —Elizabeth Bruenig for The Atlantic

"According to legal scholar Corinna Barrett Lain’s new book 'Secrets of the Killing State: The Untold Story of Lethal Injection,' Sigmon’s choice of death by firing squad reflects a sound assessment of the well-documented horrors of lethal injection." —Charlotte Rosen for The Baffler

A truth-telling exhibition
Blak In-Justice: Incarceration and Resilience
"Our artwork and culture is somehow revered on the international stage and high enough for an exchange at that level, but yet, we're the most incarcerated people on the planet.”
"Since the 1991 Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, Indigenous incarceration rates have more than doubled, and deaths in custody have continued to rise."
"It's a huge stain on this nation...White Australia's support is crucial."

Liberal Faith in Checks and Balances Betrays Deeper Investment in Law and Order
As other branches of government fail to check the Trump administration, the balance of power shifts toward oligarchs.
“The Quilters” is a documentary about a group of men in a Missouri prison sewing gifts for foster children.
John J. Lennon lives at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, where he is serving his 24th year of a 28-years-to-life sentence. He’s also a journalist whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Times, the Atlantic, and more. Until last year, he was at Sullivan Correctional Facility, where he mentored emerging writers, both informally and most recently, through the Sullivan Nonfiction Writing Workshop. He writes for @nybooks about setting that up, and what happened when it came to an end with the prison’s closure. “I often think about the time before I came to prison, when I had no promising future. I’ve come to realize that two opposing realities can be true at once: prison probably saved my life and it’s where I learned to write; and prison is a disgusting place that’s hurting me more now than ever,” he writes. “I’m both ashamed and proud of my path. But it wouldn’t have been possible if prison officials hadn’t given writing programs a chance.” [Story may be paywalled]

Oh look, the world was being scumbags to Palestinian CHILDREN even back in 2004.
Also there’s no way they beat the US in incarceration per capita. There’s no way. We’re number 1!! (Ew)
“Since the political process between Israel and the Palestinians was reinvigorated in May 2003, prisoners, including children, have been high on the Palestinian political agenda. With one of the highest per capita incarceration rates in the world at times according to Human Rights Watch, one would be hard pressed to find a Palestinian who has not either themselves, a family member or a friend been imprisoned by Israel. Although no mention of a prisoner release is made in the US backed initiative, which seeks a resolution of the Israeli - Palestinian conflict and the establishment of a Palestinian state, pressure from political factions and the Palestinian community as a whole has made it a priority for the Palestinian leadership.”
Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm not a fan of the US #InJustice system, including #Incarceration. But wow Sean Diddy Combs... that guy...

@TexasObserver
Wait, Texas Observer, are you telling us that El Salvador now has a higher incarceration rate than the US?
We're no longer number one in locking up our own people?
Eye, for one, can't believe that Trump is letting this happen on his watch, and Eye fully expect him to put the US back at the top of the stats.
