Jose Villareal #H94098 PBSP PO Box 7500 Crescent City, CA 95532 NEWS FROM ALABAMA BY ANONYMOUS Bay. The Guantanamo of Alsbama. There are over 30 prisons in Alsbam, but only theee of them are maximum securiy facilities. They are St. Clair, Holman, and Donaldson. Donaldson is like a gigantic segregation un problematic and uncontrollable individuals “This i where ADOC transfers all of the most ) To make this more comprehensible, 1 would like to llustrace events that took place in 2014 when the Free Al launched. The callto sction was 2 work stoppage by all inmates who were assigned inscitutionsl jobs. was at Holn 361230 am when the CO working our dorm asked the firs individual ama Movement was i the kitchen dorm Fuck the DOCY” When the officer radioed for back-up and all the him ou s and other 50 the prison officials were compromising to try to get individuals to seare going back to work. Afir a few weeks they did, but a level of unity amongst inmates and a disdain for COs had developed that has become detrimenal to the administeation’s control of the prisons. Officers searced gttingbeaen up and stabbed left and right. The FAM induseies like other prisons, just cells, While the other prisons were and a flood of contraband, Donaldson was quict. And operating in an orderly fashion. Holman and St. Clai started transferring all of us Thnew I wasin for a sude awakening when | made it into the block and observed individuals using prison collece call phones! ‘SMH. There were many individuals here that I already knew: They inmate populacion. See this s the last stronghold of ADOC. From what keep those inmates under conerol. The offices here have killed three inmates since | have been here (beginning of 2015). and shic didn'e make the news. No one was fired. | bet there wasn' even an investgation. Since [ have been in this segregation cel (September), ewo people have "died” in thei cell. No one knows how, reportedly. ‘Theyjust spontancously became "untesponsive.” SMFH!!! ivolves the misconduct of an oficer. All of the brothers who came back here with me have Let me backerack. Afeer being here at Donaldson for a fex months I connected with comrades willing o take action against the artack the most aggresive violent offices, but before we could serve Right around this time a ransfer came from St. Claieof brothers who. had stabbed a captain and participated in a major physical alercation with other officers, severely wounding many of them. They came alking aboue nothing but riding on the police. Keep in mind this s all happening during a ime when the entire nation is demonserating against police killings of unarmed individuals. There was so much alk sbout werting the police that the adminisuration just surted September 9ch,we decided nor to lock down. We knew this was askin fora fight and we were ready for it, Well some ofus for an uprising. When the first few officers came in 1o try and make uslock down we had no problem ighting the, but he back-up came 50 fast, already i riot gear, gassing us and beating us with their long oak sticks, we dide even have time to react. We were decimated. Myself and six other brothers back here with me have been labeled the ringleaders of that demonstration and have subsequently taken many beatings since that day. None as bad as how they did us then chough. The treatment or rather mistreatment we have suffered since September 9¢h has been intended to break us.

It made me think long and hard for a more effctive way to put both hunger seiking and work stoppage to use, in which ic il toually devastate the whole prison industrial complex system. The fiest concepe | came upon was that of the *Industrial Workers of the World? of havingall prisoners heoughout the US go on hunger srike and work stoppage all at the same time.

Though suategieally worded, I could'e disageee more. This wording in that asticle only put water on a spark before it can into a full blaze. In other words, destroys potential unity before & more conscious prisoner can establish groundwvork. As an anarchise or anti-auhoritarian, obviously our principles are against reform, bue: 1) we don'e make a blucprine for evry person n the world to be obligated to follow: 2) I'm not quite sure that any form of suruggle in which demands are given should be clasified as reformist in & prison settng. In society, maybe so, but in prison? Absolutely not, because if we're being reals, chen despiee the beautiful wordplay you exhibited, the dismanling of the prison induseral comples will ‘only take place with the destruction of the entire ruling class/state Obviously: the biggese conesibution to that will have to come from comsistent, long-term, complete anarchy from the outside. Be not mistaken, 1 salute A12M to the fulese and if there, | would've been side by side with those comeades. But no resistance that only coming from the inside will ultimately deal a deah blow to slave kamps. ‘What you're suggesting isn'e practical Moreso, militan revolts rarely happen in prison. Ies hard to organize resistance in mose prisons in Amerika, period. Throughout history, eas to wes, society to prison, miliants have always been the minority. The peaceful are always the majoriy. The point I'm making is i the majority in prison has found a common ground to struggle on, with 2 common tactic thae the majority is willing to participate in, why speak against ie? Those of more consciousnes, who are more dedicated, and understand the value of sacrifice can engage in different tactics you are refering o, but which will be n co-existence with the masses demands. What you aall “reformist” is 2 foundation for unty, cooperation, and political consciousness building, which can spring into 2 culeure of resstance, ‘which will build dedication for action upon relase to help achicve our ultimate goal. Next issue: you state demands is “recognizing the right of the oppressor to exercise power” Demands i recognizing the right of the state o exercise power, but a actical approach as i also practiced by the oppressor. When they say you have freedom of speech, or fieedom of protest, do you chink they acknowledge us as having power juse because they're allowing us to oppose them within the lines o thei law ?Study what deception is. We'ee not recognizing the “right” of their power; quite the conrary, we're taking seps in building a force necessary to diminish their power. As one who myself has militane views, 1 understand your perspective and fecl you'e valusble to the movement and dedicated. But what you muse understand i, if you want the endgame o be victory, in order to gee the majority on our side, tacties muse be diverse, and,asde from whae puts the movement in danger, allresistance is welcome - with the pen o the sword, with a sign or a gun. Thiskeave oom for everybody to be againstthe oppressor n some way, violendly or non-violently, everyone can contribute. We must be careful with oue words,with ou practices, and not become tools helping the oppressors divide the oppressed. Moreso, a concep that need to b grasped: “there’s no are blueprine for seruggle” In and out of prison, every oppresed person sn'e an anarchist, s0 we can' expect every form of resistance to be i line with anarchism. By practicing such behaviorisms, we become like our oppressors — our way or no way: The only ones we can hold accountable for practices that goes againse anarchism are a As a New Afikan, [ spoke out againse MLK principles and those who followed them, as 1 idenify with Malcolm, I wan revolution and ot reform.

But what [ had to ralize s, Brother Marcin was seruggling the best way he knew how and chough his tactcs and goals were different from Brother Malcolm, he was doing what he was doing to deliver our people from sufering “Think abou thar. Critcize the selfproclaimed revolutionary for not being revolutionary, but not the typical oppresed person for acting against their oppression the best way they know how: Revolution is what destroys systems. Like it or nor, prisoners alone won' destroy a system. All we can do is deliver war and demand to be ested like humans, even ifyou do call e “reformise” schists. ‘Comrade Andy Homer article was a good picce considering he haven'ebeen doing his for long, But one thingthat all of usalready Known to our enemies need 1o really emphasiz, as it is a erucial mistake we've made and continue to make ~ “making oursclves known” IF you're going o engage in militancy, seraegically you should never allow the infrastructure to know you oppose them. I you'e militane, bu feel you have valusble theories, disguise your theories, not tactics, under the intellecruals o comrades who arent gecting cheir hands dirty. Those who only produce “theory” bue not practice,they're necessary t the movement as well, as survillance/ constane moitoring won'e hure them, because they're staying within the sule of the stat,the law: Those who plan to go against what's civl and seep outside the law, really engaging in the kind of esistance that il take to destroy an esablishmen: remain unknown. Keep who you are hidden. Though t0o ate for most of us, the new comeades Who are coming into the movemen is a very crucial mistake o make yourself known to an enemy you done know. Currene CIA, Mossad, M16, FBI, Special Ops, etc.don't make themselves known. Why? Think about i, If oure in the eye of the scope, are you going costay seilland wait for the marksmen to snipe you? Though we speak. against the state miliary, police o prison guards aren' the one who's going to climinate (assasinate) you onee you really pose a threae to power and no juse committing arson. I¢1l be agents and forces who. you can'e identify who's going to booby trap your car,or poison you causing a heare arcack (natural death), exc. Sudying anarchism gives us something to dialogue about, gives us 2 vision, but studying the enemy is how you defeat the enemy. I read a ot of books and arcicles by comades, and one thing thae sticks out the most i that comeades don't understand the enemy, truly aren'e considering enemy tactics, Above all allowing your hate for the enemy to cloud your judgment causing you to underestimate che enemy. ['m notsaying our opposicion isinvincible, Pm saying unless we change our curtent conduct,current actics, conceal new tactcs,conceal the identity of the new comeades and generations thatll follow, we'll never win. Before I end, salute to comrade Conner asticle. Our vision il make a very interesing dialogue and seruggle Uneil we win, we fight on! Love and solidariy.
