Title: Let Them Go
One of the most atrocious crimes during the pandemic response happened in prisons, ironically in a sense since prisons are where the state puts criminals to then perform crimes on them. This happened pretty much worldwide. The viral underclass (Stephen Thrasher) in it’s manifestation as the prison population was pretty much unprotected against the virus, maybe even at times got intentionally infected with COVID-19? In some cases prisoners were used to make masks or disinfectants, put were not given any of these protective tools. Protests did pick up outside and inside of prisons early on in the pandemic, but were quickly squashed among other things with enforced stay at home rules. Prisons and jails were and still are hot spots of infections and COVID deaths.
The excellent documentary Sickness in The System (link bellow) and the Death Panel episode The Pandemic Prison with Dan Berger (same), that i can both really recommend, will explain it much better than i can. We need to abolish prisons, this fundamental building block of the carceral state and racial capitalism. Neoliberal capitalism has not only destroyed social services, education, but at the same time increased spending on repression, on cops and on prisons. The pandemic showed the fundamentally eugenic nature of these systems.
We need to fight to abolish cops, prison, nations, war and the state. Yes, no question mark needed, dear graphic bellow me.
