Preface 7

The contributions to this pamphlet are
designed to expose facts relevant to the fastest
growing industry in the USA (prisons) and their
relationship to the New Afrikan Nation

As New Afrikans, we have come to fully
appreciate the significance of this industry, in
its genocidal scheme to destroy the New Afrikan
Nation.

our continued subjugation is absolutely
dependent on our willingness to ignore the fraud
and violence inherent in the colonial/neo-
colonial system, which we continue to accept as
“he force governing our social, economic and
political lives.

The New Afrikan reality in Amerikkka,
persists. We are still being mown down in the
streets and in our “homes” by the agents of the
state (police,) convicted and sentenced for an
average of 40 years in colonial state prisons.
This creates generational gaps sufficient to be
equated with genocide. We still have our wealth
systematically “gangstered” (taxes) while we
naively scream for more prisons - never even
imagining that the plan of the state is to
destroy us as a nation within a nation

The life lessons that have been passed on
for generations through our survival culture and
our defense mechanisms, including collective
aggressive actions when necessary, seem to have
taken permanent leave

As a direct consequence, we have become
comfortable as we continue to be de-sensitized
and conditioned to the daily abuses and outright
assaults to our New Afrikan humanity

This pamphlet is an indication of the
potential that lies within the bowels of the

colonial beast. This presentation is an effort
to awaken those forces in the New Afrikan Nation
who are capable of effecting meaningful change
in our collective condition. We do this by
informing New Afrikans of the colonial state’s
intentions.
s

It has been said that prison is a microcosm
of society. Consequently, the only difference
between New Afrikans on one side of the wall or
the other, lies in the degree to which our
mobility is restricted.

Despite this reality, I am confident that
there is enough information presented here to
begin today and continue - moment by moment - to
collectively challenge some of these atrocities.
We are a Nation. We're a strong, resilient
people. We are worth the struggle!

SHUT IT DOWN, THEN: I

Contradictions Intensify at Indiana Supermax

As we embark upon the new year, the laghip of the “new” Indisna D.0.C., the
‘Supermaximum Control Uit known as Maximum Sccurity Facit, in Westville Indiana, has
become consumed by a seres of ntensifing contradictions that foreshadow a fture calamty.
“This fcilty once housed only level prsones of admirisirative segregation satus, nder an
agreed enny.

At opering in 1991, the it ran or over seven years unti new agreed entry was
‘mandaied, allowing the it to accept segregation offenders who had caugh iternal inractions.

In ll respects it i sae 10 say that these plan fuiled, and in a rushed cal for help the D.O.C.
peitioned the courts fox clearance to house DIS (Detention Segreglion) offenders, which ult-
imately prevented the Governor rom shuttng this place down.

CONDITIONS DECLINE

‘When I came here in December, 1994, the ron fis ofrepression was n full swing, The racism
here was overtly expressed an the gurds were quick (o insigateor provoke situations between
themselves and prisoners. Since my retur Dec 23, 1998, afer being sanctioned with one year of

‘complete disorder. The once spoless lors are now overrun with dirt, ants nd other nsects and
trash. Thisplace was the eptome of sanitary excellence. In two year period, the admiistration.
has stopped enforcing the maintenance policy that it was known for Thisiresponsbiity on behall

of the stat, the decline of condiions, essenially reslts n th deterioration of the healthof those:
individuals i thir care.

ANTAGONISMS AMONG STAFF

As the condiions progressively worsen for prisoners, prisoncrats have lso been overworked
‘because of under-staffng. these condilons have made i such tha a normal -hour work day no
longer exists. Prison employees are being orced 1o stay on the job (by contract) o work over-
time, whenever extra manpower s needed. This creates overt animosity between employees and.
theprisoncrat, duc 0 employees being kept rom being home with theirchidren and wives

“These conditons of course pose the isk that employees will begin 1o harass prisoners, being
onsumed by anxiety and strss. these conditions can cause even the most stable employees 10 be
molivated 1o pychoti episodes behind dysfunctional tmosphere

FIRINGS AND SEPARATIONS

As 8 means of emporary escape from the sress of the above condilons, a rumber of these
offcers have been smoking pot 0 deal with conditions. These acts were exposed among the ranks
due 0 spot urinalysstets. several officers, male and female, were recently fird, further de-
creasing taffing and contribuing 10 the regressive conditions. In tur these firngs have caused
others o quit rather than be overworked and kept on the job long hours away from theirfmlies.

more disciplinary segregation sentences.the terms ofthis agreed entry were negotiated by
Hamid Kashani and Richard Wapls, pisoners representing the “class,” and those of us

“The court approved the modified agreed entry. The agreed enty required the IDOC to

Indiana State Prison I3
* Exposed and Uncul *

I've been on the secured housing unif (1.D.U.) a
maximum control unit at the Indiana State prison, located in
Michigan City, Indiana. The unit operates under lhe
prefense of disciplinary segregation. This is frightening
because there is no way lo accuralely gauge the damage.
However, | know and feel wilh every fibre of my being, that
I've been touched by somelhing cruel and unnatural - the
control unit.

Allow me fo infroduce myself properly. My name is
Stoney Akeem Omari Ayubu. On 4/23/97, 1 was charged
with an assault on another inmatle, which never took place.
However, | was placed on | - D - U confrol housing and
received a 3 - year {long term) lockup segregation, due to
my behavior.

Of course, it was never proven that a fight had taken
place. In fact, the person that the assault was said fo have
been directed against, wrote a statement and a personal
letter to Superintendent Al Parke and Mrs. Janeen Stewart,
stating that nothing happened at all. This was to no avail.

Doing my stay on 1. D. U. control unil, | personally
wilnessed men being tolally destroyed, assaulled,
repeatedily threalened and deprived of privileges.

The conditions are aggravating. It's @ man-made hell
and a cesspool of horror, that the system execules. I've
witnessed racst pigs physically remove prisoners who were.
beaten, forlured and weakened from lack of food, causing
mental and emotional frauma to victims and also other
prisoners.

Systematic withholding of mail, punishing those who
demonstrate an uncooperative attitude and set-up
conduct reports, are in store for all natural leaders. Poverty
and racist discrimination is significant in the criminalization
process. However, since most poor people and people of
color do not engage in crime, then neither poverty nor
racial designation alone or in combination, can account for
criminal behavior.

Those who are held accouniable for criminal behaviors
are those who are already condemned in the eyes of the )5
law and who have llfle or no voice.

Real orimagined, the racist pig's prejudices are fed with
carelully prepared propaganda, specifically designed to

create an allitude of lolal helplessness among black males.
Whal we are wilnessing s a diabolically effective form of
subliminal seduction.

The C. A. B., the unit team committee, the conduct
adjustment board, the racist ass officers and even the ulfra-
liberal court system, are all playing a major fole in this
deadly process.

There is nolhing rehabiltative about 1 - D - U control
housing units or N. S. B. control units. They are both
designed fo destroy the logical processes of the mind.

Aman's thoughts can become completely disorganized.
I should be clear that our struggle against the prison system
is bigger than just a slruggle for prison fights. Itis a part of
our historical struggle against slavery, known today as
colonialism.

By colonialism, | simply mean rule by foreigners for
economic exploitation and political advantage. The need
fo build a mass prison organization fied o the overall
slruggle for black freedom and led by our own
independent revolutionary movement, is self-evident.

Prison praclices are leading to our sell-destruction and it
‘we don't have the common unily fo prevail over this
pervasive deslruction, it will inevitably lead 1o our exfinclion.

Reactionary white power is moving full speed ahead
and the colonialjustice system is revealing itself as white
lynch-mab juslice. But unfortunalely, it goes largely
unrecognized, so it remains unchallenged.

There has been a deliberate effort to demoralize inmates
on these so-called control units, and serious efforts o
delude society concerning the goings-on in these death
traps. This is a war against us. “Us" can be descibed as all
those who do not support the establishment and the
enforcement of systemaic genocide and incarceration.
The usage of Ihe ignorant to destroy the ignorant is a
diabolical scheme.
This neo-colonialism can also be seenin the growing ¢
numbers of Afrikans who act as administrators of the
colonial state, such as police and officers within the prison
systemifsell,

The struggle conlinues and the enemy must either
recognize the fact that we will not succumb 1o his
oppression or be moved aside by Ihe force of the masses
and brought fo trial.

The falling of one is the rising of another and the wicked
shall not rest as long as the righteous know where they
sleep.

Respecllully,
Stoney Akeem Omari Ayubu

spent on disciplinary or administrative seg., including over the last 8
years straight.

overcharged. This is an expericnce that is nothing new to the New

cntered prson with tha thuggish,rouggish,rebellious attitde that | 3 9
brought from the street. [ wasn't in prison a full four months before |
experienced my firststretch on disciplinary scgregation. Disciplinary
segregation is where I was first introduced to progressive revolutionary
iterature. It would nonetheless take a couple of more trips to D/S before
I became receptive in the truer sease of the lterature and the teachings

of the politically conscious brothers whom were very patient with me on
those sets.

Tbegan o notice that every time I was sent to lock up, | encountered
for the most part the same politically conscious brothers who were on
lock up during my previous trips to D/S. I was able to make these
abservations because my own political development was under way. It
became clear that lock up was an inevitable reality for those politically
active comrades who engaged in progressive and principled struggle by
agitating, educating and organizing around various issues and just
pushing a progressively aggressive line. I lcamed carly that there’s often
a price 1o pay for standing on revolutionary principle. And that price is
paid by hook or by crook. If they can’t hook you up on some
disciplinary charge, be it trumped up or otherwise, they"l criminally
segregate you on some administrative seg. unit for some imaginary
reason not because of some misconduct that you were found guilty of
committing, but rather because of some misconduct that they think or
claim you might commit. This is insane! s political repression of the
highest form!

Out of the more than 11 years that I've spent on seg. units, well over
4 of these years have been spent on administrative segregation.

To be sure, I am a politically conscious and active prisoner, but by no
means do Lintend to paint a picture that all of my scg. time has been the
result of political activity. Nevertheless, I have and continue to put in
work. One thing is for cectain, given my history of resistance, the
reasons that these settlers continue o segregate me on these control units
for eight consecutive years, is political beyond question. And I do not
use the term “control unit” loosely.

‘The Indiana D.O.C. opened its frst super max control unit in April,
1991. [ made my firsttrip to super max, commonly known as the
miximum control complex (MCC) located in Westville, lndiana.

Tam presently at Westville’s supermax, and I am scheduled to be
transferred to another institution within the next 30 days. This will
complete my fourth trip at supermax. Since the opening of the MCC, the
other maximum control prisons, such as the state prison in Michigan
City and the Reformatory in Pendleton, have increased their repressive
measures. Particularly on the disciplinary scg. units upon my retur to

Zaid Kamau Tyehimba
s/n Arthur Green #27222
P.0. Box 557

Westville, Indiana 46391

the DS unitat the Reformatory in 1992 after my first stretch at MCC, |
found that we were preseated with a whole new disciplinary program, 33
‘The Reformatory D/S unit had incorporated a lot of restrictive measurcs
that were executed at MCC into their disciplinary scheme. The
disciplinary seg. units across the whole state essentially became

miniature control units as MCC became the model that other seg. units
attempted to emulate.

‘The dialectical process s forever dynamic. Just as we know that
repression breeds resistance, and so it goes with consciousness, because
along with the resistance comes an understanding of the need o resist.
Having said that, I think that it's fair to say that the emergence of these
control units and other repressive measures, have given risc (o a
heightened level of consciousness among the New Afrikan prison
population in general, and the New Afrikan youth in particular.

‘These control units are repressive and inhumane and designed to
break the resistance and spirit of a person. Being subjected to such
extreme repression can mentally and physically drain you and take a lot
outof you. But I'm of the opinion that just as it can take a lot out of you,
it can also put a lot in you. Bear in mind that all development comes on
the basis of contradictions and the breaking down and resolution of
contradictions (ideological struggle.) As the contradictions continue to
sharpen, 50 too will the intensity of struggle between opposites and on
this basis, a new reality will begin to take shape (development.)

Toward a better future,

Why?

KK: Beinga political prisoner on the inside or outside does not come without a
special price. § have been active and involved in many struggles o bring out
education on the inside. Some of these struggles entail exposing what this racist
system has done and continues to be responsible for. Once prisoners are aws
‘and become conscious, and their actions reflect such, a lot of us tart 10 express

CW: Khalfani, let me ask, what s your vision for future realities?

KK: We currently live undet a system that has a direct hand in manipulating
education, economics, human relations, and basically every walk of ou lives. |
of course see myself restrained by incarceration. But i see all oppressed and
below the poverty level nationalities educating themselves and becoming a
of the commonness they share against this system of uncompromising
institutional racism. This commonness allows each oppressed community to
‘become responsible for forging struggle in their communities. 1t will be the ex-
prisoner and the politially conscious person'’s role o join all progressive
Communites with i progtssiverevelutionary sruggies so that growih of
consciousnes ontinues. Once unifed, we collecivly work o chllengeoue
cllctivyncividulrights 5 2 peope 1o be independen,sellgoverning,and
self-determined. Plus, hope that in societies people start working more with
prisoners.

CW: What kind of advice and message do you have for young people?
KK: Young people, when i was a free man i never anticipated | would come to
prison. Soil’ssafe 10 say i was not prepared for it either. Education is an

essential part o our development. It enables us to leam to confront and deal
with the realites this world offers us. § was once a teenager myself, influenced
by my peer group. These same influences led me to a prison cell, but none of
them ever followed me. Please focus in on learning your identity and educate
yourself on your family /cultural history. This is empowerment, and it builds

‘The Indiana DOC facliy heads and
stafT have shown a patiern of continual

policy and procedural volations. Once &
prsoner ters the prison system, he/she
s practically stripped of every right
allegediy granted o himher under the
US. constitution. A prisoner is
supposcd to adhere to 8 series of rules,
tegulatons,policis, and when they.

don't they are sanctioned and given
conduct report, and possibly deprived of
earned credit clss time (which could
ulimaicly make a stay in prison a lot
longer).

Prison saf, counselors, medical stafl,
supervsors, and facility heads are
supposed 10 operate (work) ccording 1o
policy,procedure and Indiana law, but
forsafThere, tisis ot the case. Some
times they are jut totallyignorant of
‘what proper procedure is. Other times it
isjust done because it s believed by
most safftha they can do things the
