that does not deal with the real problem — persistent povery and

Allover the world, police forces, o the equivalent thereof,
suructure, in brutal and murderous ways. Race is 2 fundamental
concepe that has profoundly shaped, and continues to shape, the
culture of America, the history, policy, cconomie structures, and yes,
policing too, but it is not the only concep.

“The notion of “intersectionality” was advanced by legal
scholar Kimberle W. Crenshaw: who argued that failure to grasp
interact and shape one another, leads to fragmented politics — partial

“The lterature on intersectionalicy has,according 1o authors
Michael Omi and Howard Winane, clearly demonstzated the mutual
gender, and sexual orientasion. I s not posible to undersand the
type of incqualiy without appreciating the decp, comples,
co-mingling, interpenetration of race, class, gender, and sexual
orientation. Another key intersectionality theorist, Patscia.Hill
Collins, invented the phrase *matri of domination” to describe the
“overall social organization within which intersecting oppressions
ate, develop, and are contained.” | mention this because brutal
‘and murderous policing is not just a racial matter, it intersects with
gender and class 0. The overwhelming majority of victims of
police tertorism are male, disproportionately Black males, but all-
incall men are the recipients of police-sponsored abuscs. Economic
status intersects also because those victims are almost always at or
near the bottom of the American socio-cconomie structure. Which
means employing more Blacks as police officers will not stop the
police from brutalizing and murdering Black people. In places
like Detroit, M1 and Washington, DC., for example, where police
forces are racially-proportionate to the majoriy Black population,
police terrorism i a permanent reality as much s where police are
racally disproportionate to the Black populacion. Class and gender
discinctions coincide in important ways with racial ones.

Likewise, police terrorism is not merely the product of
“bad” people, though police officers would certinly be unique if
racist, sadist, or otherwise violent people were not represented within
the ranks. Bu that is not even what i at issue here. Most police are
probably “good” mathers and fathers, “good” neighbors who are
pillars of their community with no more or less moral lapses than
the average person. The assumption that police have to be “bad”
in order to brutalize and murder those they ook an oath to serve
and protect neglects both the serucural and ideological nature of
policingin America, and takes for granted the instiutional practices
that allow “good” people to be shaped and coded into an object that
be fed into an insitution deeply rooted, not only in ideas and
belis, but also in fundamental parterns of inequaicy, use of lechal
force, racism, and the exercise of absolute povir. From this folows
cerain important implications

Whether it s in Greece, France, Egypt, South Afrca, or in
the ghettos of America, police polie those socially and economically
atthe bottom of the social structure with fstcuffs, boors,nightstcks,
and bullers - an historical face. The “good people” that make up
the ranks of police forces throughout this country work within a
“bad"” insticution, an institution structured around narrow hosile
stercotypes that Black skin is dangerous, and the necessty of deadly
force to control those who society least serves.

Remember, it i those same “good” people that make up the
*“Blue Wallof Silence.” The same “good” people that ever turn their
guns on their fellow offcers o make an arrest afer a “bad” shooring
“Good” people who appear incapable of objectively investigating
or holding fellow officers accountable. The same “good” people
who refuse to admit that policing is an exttemely race-conscious
occuparion. Is the decades of data colected concerning police
acially-profiling Black pedestrians and mororists afigment of Black
peoples imagination also?

‘Whatever the values and moral leanings of police officers’
personal organization, they are part of a larger framevork lodged
in the instiuion of law enforcement — a round of experience that
ms a olerable conception of poor people, particularly those of
color, as dangerous and potentialy violent, and allows for a set of
preempive options, exercised at the discretion of individual police
officers. That is why so-called community policing is an inadequate

form that leavs those being policed vulnerable to racial inequality
exclusion, neglect, and violence.

Reforms that were supposed 1o diminish the depth and
extent of police-sponsored abuse and murder over the last four
decades have undoubredly had some posicive effects, but ovrall they
have produced contradicrory, even ironic, resuls. The problem is not
that there are not enough police walking through the neighborhood
shaking hands and kissing babies. The problem is that police are the
primary instruments of physical coercion and repession the state
has at s command to keep those on the periphery of socity inline.

Said another way; community-police relacionships cannot
be buile o strengehened by police vigilance or by the reliance on the
alleged “deerring force” of police knowing the names and addresses
of neighborhood residents,for the conflict becween community and
police i to be understood as symptoms of a contagious sickness of
the society itself. We muse keep in mind that the primary scruggle
is against an economic, political, and social suructure that pits the
needs of one group against all other groups.In this way we can avoid.
being diverted by the struggles against its pares: The problem is the
state, ot merely the local police that commits the most recent act
of terror.

Furthermore, it s argued that protesters should “choose”
only those techniques, tactics, and language which does not
inconvenience the people and insciutions they are protesting
against. Protesters are urged to be concerned about the comfort and
sensicvities of those they regard as their oppressors. The implication
is chat if they do nor, police will use their power to recliate against
them, and local, state, and federal governments will back the
rewliation. Many Black and white people accept these arguments
and behave accordingly. et the threat of putcing down protests that
inconvenience the oppressive forcesis not new.

Although demonstrations and marches provide many
people who are angry and frustrated with police terrorism an outlet
to channel their energies into constructive protest, eleasing energies
without any actual change in community-police relationships, and
without the transformation of society,could become o
safery valve for the sate

When bewildered members of the media, members of the
political establishment and people who were leaders in an era that
has come and gone ask why demonstrators refuse 1o “peacefully’
petition the sute <o stop police from brutalizing and murdering
Black people, they announce thei alienation from the masses whose
cause they claim t suppore. As long as this lienation remains, the
masses of Americans not affected by police terrorism will be rritated.
and inconvenienced by any meaningful activiy to end it

No real protest can be convenient for oppressive
individuals or instiwutions; and o real protest can be contained
within comfortable bounds or made respectable. Think about it, a
movement such as Black Lives Matte, organized around legisarive
reforms, is lambasted a racist and characterized as hate group. The
seruggles of those with power to deny self-determination to those
who have none is age-old, and accommodation and appeasement
have not resolved ie. The *liberal backlash” is a new name for an old
phenomenon: resistance to power sharing,

Black people and their alles can no longer fel, if they
ever did, tha they should demonstrate and protest uilizing only
methods and levelsof intensity acceptable o those they demonstrate
and protest against in order for their demonstrations and protests

0 be considered legicimate. No one ought to expect the transition
from a system of injustice to a system of social justice to occur
without personal and social trauma vsiting all partes involved.

In the face of growing anger and frustraion, many
Americans will react 1o the intensification of social unrest by
waning demonstracors and protesters not 1o go t0o far, not o
alienate liberals who have, even if only timidly, supported them. To
others,les well-intentioned, any resistance against police errorism
is but confirmation of demonstrators” and protesters' own racism
and criminal intents. Demonstzators and protesters must keep in
mind that there is no such thing as legal resistance against those who
work against them. There is no such thing as mass activey, of any
form, that fails to pose danger to the satus quo.
have been successfully used to call dramatic atention o the face

that structural forms of racial inequality persist and in many cases
have deepened, but now more thought must be given to the hard
demands of complex suategy in order to translte goals of race, class,
gender, and sexual equality into desired social reality. Demonstrators
and protesters must have imagination and daring, and they must
assume the risk of rea social change. Without serious isks and the
many forms of turbulence incvitably associated with genuine social
change, there will be none.

OPPRESSION OF RELIGION INSIDE

BY THOMAS DERRING

There has always been controversy surrounding religion. However,
inside the prison system is a whole new can of worms. There is scill
contoversy, just on another level. In society you are able t0 go to
“church” when you choose. Inmates may attend services also, but
that's where the similarity stops! Inmates are severely limited when it
comes to tesources, sponsors, supplics, books,ecc.,due to a number

of reasons.

There are individual faciliy regulations that limic, or even

AR. 333 - AR, is Adminisative Regulation — that governs the

cerain religions and would not allow supplies that are not in the
AR 333 and I have been under chaplains that do not care as long
as it does not violate safety, security, and health regulations.

Another problem is finances. This is the main problem.
The Board of Chaplains is supposed to provide $500 per year
for each community to order any materials or supplies that the
community may need. To my knowledge, this money is not being
used. So the question is: where is this mon

religious communides?

Another problem is the sponsorship program. There is

religions such as Wicea, Odinist, Native American spiricualicis,

abomination, as something nasty and weak.

But on March 11,2016, that narrative was shateered after

queer pisoners went on the offensive against he pigs.

One queer prisoner went from dorm to dorm inviting,
exhorting, and encouraging prisoners to come out of their cells
and join in tearing the prison down. One dorm refused and placed
a lock and chain on their dorms cell door, successfully locking
themselves in and everyone else out. The queer prisoner started
calling these guys on this and called them pigs, Uncle Tom, ecc. all

queer prisoner, Fredricka’, cell door had't closed and she ran out

some of the segregation cell doors, allowing other prisoners to come.

A MESSAGE TO A MESSAGE

BY ANARCHO-FAHEEM

First, 0 all the comades who contribute to Wildfire, 1,000 salutes

and apologies for not being able to touch on some very good
suggestions made i issue #4, as today is July 10ch, and m racing
against time to make issue #5’ deadline. Tve had some serious
seruggles from family and comade tragedie, personal issues, and
barding repressive maneuvers that have caused me to put off writing
now, but | have to respond to Brother Todd Shepard’ criicisn

of

T can begin to put into words my respect and solidarity
with anyone fron lining against our eneies, so | worlt ey, but to
say T wage a biter and scarhing atack on the eill O.G. veteran of
prison struggle Sean Swain is to atack everything I've stood for and

stand for as 2 revolutionary. First thing, theré's no contradiction in
what I sad about him putting water on a spark before it can turn
into a full blaze in terms of esublishing “unity” v. my crticism of
thinking “prisoners” alone wonlt deal a death blow to the PLC. To
even suggest such a contradiction in what T said shows: 1) a lack
of understanding the point I was trying to make, and 2) to not
understand the PLC. in full contest, or rather imperialim!
First point, my criicism was refering o “unity building

ot his “tactics” for response. Though sabotage can be done by a
few, once the few s gone, then what comrade? So, my position on
crvicizing his criics

A on certain tactics that a majority is more
likely to employ had nothing to do with what tactc is more or ess
effective, but more about “making resstance popular” Building
the momentum up for a united front to be able 1o engage in the
resistance necessary for success. My opinion, when we take the
approach of “a minority of s can do it” we've faled in the sense that
weve separated ourslves from the masses. And to me, that's puting
water o the spark before ics a full blaze When I say it isn't practical
o deal a death blow to slave camps from inside, your crticism and
suggestions filed to convince me otherwise, especially when you
end ac prison labor profi, rather than considering imperialism
whole. Fise e’ go back to what is and isn't “practical” I can easly
say f every oppressed person in the world would band together and
coordinate resistance against the ruling class, we could casily bring
it o its knees. And true as it may be, is it practical? Meaning is it
likely that every single oppressed person will unte? So when [say e
isn't practical, I'm saying: in a prison seuting, though all factions are
commonly oppressed, division is even more present than in sociery:
Youll never sce a nationwide coordination of slaves sabotaging
enough 1o autack profis. Not o mention the many Uncle Tom
prisoners living comfortably in prison, with what they deem as
privilege, who would gladly go and labor for the master. So when
Tsay i st practical, T'm nor speaking of accomplishing goals with
such tactics, I'm saying that only focusing on those type of actics,
while denouncing others, won't build the momentum needed to
make such tacties possibly “successfully” employed.

Second, I say comrade, you'e focusing on trgering tree
branches rather than the roots of the tree if you feel the forces of
imperialism will possibly let prisoners alone destroy the PLC. (an
am of their power). The only way to do away with all the arms
of imperialism s to do away with imperialism, and to thar, T stick
o my previous statement: prisoners alone can't do this. Moreover,
to separate the prison struggle from the suruggle of the entire
movement, 1 hin is a dangerous assssment of frend and foe. You
0 0n 1o sate that “on at least two oceasions” I've ‘put theory into
practice, and not only did they both end in falure” but I'e caughe
more time. Tivo questions, comrade: Do you know what the theory
was that drove the resistance? Do you know what goals was being
Sought out by my actions? If you can' answer this, how can you
say it was falure? Morcover, unless you can answer both of those
questions, 1 believe you're applying blind ercicism, which, dear
comrade, can be what you label a *bitter and scathing artac
will fghter for the oppressed.

Pl state both sicuations you'e referring to as filures and
the readers can judge if I faled in what I was sceking o achieve/live
by.First, let me sate, Lam a member of a particular party (wont state
name for obvious reasons), but in our guidelines of discipline, rule
#11 states: “Bvery comrade with former hood” or ibal’ connections
should work day and nigh to be a positive revolutionary example to
his or her homies. A comrade with street organizational ties should
stive 1o educate their homies to the truth that i the real respect
gained by riding on the rea racist enemy instead of fighting other
black people. If possible, this comrade should work on crea
cease fire berween warring sueet formations involved in black on
black violence. This comrade must be exremely politically educated
and milicant in order to faclitace improved ways t accomplish this
important job without backsliding into black on black violent crime
and reactionary suicide” So the first siwation you'e referring to
that T *failed” was a hunger and work stike, talking 1o the enemy
seike, with a prepared group of militants to kick off the second

wave of resistance in the event the masses wasn't satisfed with
the response 1o the “peaceful” tactics. What were my goals and
our demands? My main objective was to bring all the rival gangs
together not only for short term, but long term, unity and political
progression and to get back 1o our initial teachings. As a prison
clas, demands ranged all over from an end to indefinite solicary
confinement, outside investigators of our choosing to come into the
prison to investigate allegations of abuse, to inadequate food, med
care, e, What was accomplished as 2 resulé A unified movement
amongst rivals was formed. Prior 1o this we had dozens of riots
yearly, 10 as of today (4 years afer) there has only been one Crip/
Blood war i thacprison system, (1 dialogue with a homie sl there
I6s now required for G-members to take up policial classes in our
system now). Amongst the demands: our lawyers/inestigators are
allowed to investigate in the prison, indeinite confinement has
been minimized 1o 12 10 24 months (depending on the severity
of the infraction), reading material once deemed “gang material
because of revolutionary content is allowed now, and 2 few other
things. Obviously all demands wasnt met, there are a few that was
Morcover, two revolutionary groups on the outside was formed in
suppore of us. Clasify the “demands” reformist or no, rival gangs
came together, and il his day, hostilies are low and actions always
d. Though myself and a member of a different faction was
transferred out of state, can you reall callthis a ailure?

Second siwuation in which you label a fulure: defending
a fellow prisoner who was handeufed and being attacked by 10
t 12 racist pigs. Aside from the obvious necessity to respond to
violence, another party rule: “Familiarie yourslf with martial arts
and techniques of self-defense. Do no use violence except in the
extremity of sel-defense. In pursuit of our duty to serve the people,
we must also be ready and wiling to defend them and ourselves
from any form of violence. Every person has the inherent right to
defend hisfherself from injury or harm, and we muse be prepared
and capable to do so in the event we are forced to exrcise this right.
“To call “defense” filure, T think it is not on
change in how those pigs dealt with prisoners after watching me
destroy their superior, but I think it would have been hypocritica to
alk revolutionary discipline, but play the sidelines and watch such
aggression by actors of the state. (Though I agree with your advice
on getting out and fighting)

You say T chink my falures qualify me to critcize others.
You'te mistaken again, comrade. | wasnit using my experiences 25 2
ol o criicize others, but a statement to qualify my perspecive, in
defense of those who havent partiipated in the kind of resistance
Sean was refering o. In which his words, in my opinion, sought to
disqualify less experienced comrades” actions/tactics. Being on the
al level s him in practice, indeed, gives me the right
o disagree with his criticisms. Being 2 “vet” exempts no one from
being criticized. You don't know my discipline at al to even say
things like T donie selfcritcize. Tl end with with rule #6 of my
party, which I think can be helpful to all: “No comade is to fear
construetve criticism. Constructive critcism is a eritical view or
remark(s) backed by evaluation, knowledge,investigation, proprity;
and concern.” Shiclds up!

IDENTITY CRISIS: WHO AM I

BY BLACC LION

1 have been sitting and contemplating on what the comade Sean
Swain spoke of n Issue No. 4, “Revolutionary Action V. Reformist
Action.” I explain my thesis of this veteran's essay in tow:

As revolutionaries, s our ‘b’ to manufacture revolution,
correce? A revolution entails overthrowing and/or renunciation of
a ruler or government, right? So once we do this, do we substitute
another by the governed. Us? Please enlighten your neophyte
freshman of the suuggle.

1 do indeed agree that these two contradict themselves
wholeheartedly. My question is how do I wopple the existing system
while held captiv in the belly of the beast? I tend o sway toward
reformist ideals at times For lack of better words, it seems practical,
logical, and rational. I do want to ‘modify’ the ways the existing
powers operate. Do we not all fll into the reformist catcgory
one time or another in prison? Maybe I have misinterpreted the
comrade’s words I seems as if he docsn't‘approve’ of any reformist
action. Please cortect me if 'm wrong, Sean.

T have ‘supposedly’ butchered a pig in my city jail vay
before T was conscious of what a revolutionary was. St. Louis City
Justice Center employed cruel, unjust, and inhumane practices. Such
as:excessive phone and canteen prices, unsanivary living conditions,
brutal use of force, pig-orchestraed

and 2015, there were parties who used riot for reformist ends, that

cise the

acts, insurrection, we can see that most insurrections

discinguishing these occurrences as coups, not genuine revolution.

“This i not to say that insurrections or rios are reformist
in dheir nature, but to propose a diffrent metric by which to judge
our actions. There is a common trope, that seems to me to be sclf-
evident, chat “the only revolutionary act s revolution.” This doesn't
mean we should sit on our hands until there is a situation from
which . single act could produce revolution. Instead, we must
judge the worth of an action, from the obviously political ones
o those that make up the banaliy of daily lfe, based on how it
contributes to or detracts from a situacion, how it alters the world
and our position in it to advance a straegy of revolution. *To build
a revolutionary material force.” It is important to reject reformist
tacics and suategies, but these exist in the framing and focusing,
the direction in which we aim an action — are we asking those in
power to exercise their power in 2 partcular way; or are we building
and exercising our own power to create the world we want to live
in? A hungerstrike can never be direct action, unless what one hopes
0 achieve is their own death; direct action is when we act directly
0 achieve our goals. However, sabotage (most often) is nor direct
action either. If our goal is to disrupt and dissolve certain social
relationships — say capitalism or incarceration — sabotage could only
be direct action if the socil relationship was produced only by the
material relationship mediated by the machine in question and that
machine could not be replaced (see early industrial capicalism and
Luddism). More often, breaking machines s an indirect — though
perhaps affective — means to achieving our goal: we are hoping 10
decrease the benefits of these social relationships (profies) for those
who impose them on s and thus weaken thei resolve to maintain
them,

Could the hungerstike, then, be a useful, yet indirect,
act within a revolutionary straegy? We can see that, though its
particularly well suted toward lveraging those in power,particularly
by appealing to their humanity and moraliey che hungerserike — like
the tradicional srike - might be deployed in a number of differenc
ways, toward different ends. If, rarher than making demands of
prison administracion, a hungerstrike was aimed a the public and if
it were made explicit that the strikers sought not concessions from
authority but instead were refsing to participate in the demeaning,
dehumanizing reationship that is materiall the most basic dynamic
of domestication — the relationship by which one party (prisoner)
is deprived of the means of obtaining physical necessity (food)
for themselves and must depend on another party (che prison
administration) to obeain that necessity — then it could be 2 very
beautiful and inspiring act that might provoke more popular and
direct act

Now then, if we agree the only. revolutionary act is
revolution and that direct action is when we dircctly act 1 achieve
our goals (rather than acting to influence others toward an end we
desire), we must admit the hungerstike is neither, but that it can
be a beautiful and inspiring act. The question then is what worth,
if any, do beautiful and inspiring acts have within 2 suategy of
revolution? To answer thi, lets look at the beautifl and inspiring,
courageous and contagious, acts of the 12 Monkeys rebellion. Swain
tells us “the 12 Monkeys promoted sabotage like clogging drains
and jamming locks” which “quickly escalated to smashing windows
and starting fres” Ostensibly the ultimate goal of the 12 Monkeys
was not to warm themselves o let in 2 cros breeze but to cause the
massive, materially-enforced abstraction, the social order by which

it s possible (in fact, necessary) for people to be kept in cages, 1o
dissolve — in that sense lighting firs and smashing windows were
indirect actions. Neither has that absteaction dissolved, so these acts
wetenit revolutionary: but were they worthwhile? Absolutely! Swain
mentions them, in fact, o ilustrate how the wordhwhile ends of the
promortion of revolutionary consciousness, broadened participation,
and suengthened solidarity can be achieved. Could a hungerscrke
potentially broaden participation in a revolutionary struggle? By
inspiring in people rousing and visceral hatred for the sarvers and
admiration for the surved, yes. Could it strengehen solidarity?
“Through the cooperative actions it inspites, yes. Could it raise
revolutionary consciousness? fthe narcative put forth is an explicirly
revolusionary one, yes. So a hungerstrike, if done the right way, has
the poential o achieve many of the same things the 12 Monkeys
Rebellion did, though in perhaps a more costly, less effecive, less
fun way.

To be clear, T'm neither arguing for hunger suikes, nor
against fres insad I'm saing that at each step our focus must be,
the fundamental question we must act ourselves when acting is: il
thisfhow can this make us, the revolutionary movement, stronger?
Swain rightly tels us only 5% of the population has participated in
any revolution in History, but every revolution in istory has fallen
short of what we scek. This doesn't mean we need to pander to the
crowd, but neither should we isolate ourselvs from it. Instead, we
mus trade quantiative considerations for qualitative ones; we must
trade aesthetic considerations for strategic ones

BIRTH OF THE
FREE VIRGINIA MOVEMENT

BY THE FREE VIRGINIA MOVEMENT COLLECTIVE

“The Free Virginia Movement (FVM) is a prisoner-led Inside/Out
collective of politcally-active_and socially-conscious prisoners
supported by the Incarcerated Worker Organizing Committee of
the Industrial Workers of the World union (IWW/IWOC). The
purpose of the IWW/IWOC is to organize prisoners nacionwide
into ane big union and to support and publiize prisoner-led direce
action campaigns such as work stoppages/srikes, hunger strikes,
boycots, percion drives, ctc.

The Free Alabama Movement waslis the main inspiration
Ichind the formation of the FVM. Those brothers and sistrs in the

Alabama prison system recogize that the only way to combat mass
is through dircct action. We of the FVM have come to the same
conclusion.

Our sicuation here in the VA prison syscem s dire. Because
of the abolition of parole and the implementation of truth
sentencing laws by the VA Legislature back in 1995, VA prisoners
are ranked second only to prisoners in Florida in terms of the length
of time we serve on our sentences. The decision of the Parole Review

Commission not o discuss o recommend parole rinstated is proof
that VA government offcials will not budge on the issue of serious

Older prisoners in their 50s and G0s sl elgible for parole
under the so-called “old law” — whose crimes happened before
parole was abolished in 1995 —are repeatedly dened parole because
of the oft used, bogus reason of
called "new law” prisoners — whose crimes happened afier parole was
abolished — must serve a whopping 85 percent of hisfher sentence,
which amounts to excessive (de facto lfe without parole) sentences
with no reasonable opportunity for release

Lets face i, under the current ulta-conservarive approach

unless we force them to.

under both the old and new laws are destined to dic in prison, or be

lefealive to rerurn home to. And because of budget cuts to the VA
jobs, ucarment/educational programs, and food portions (and
qualit) have taken a dive, and excessive commissary prices, is the
new normal. Botom line: our long-term incarceration here in the
pro-mass incarceration state of VA is torturous, exploitative, cruel

Itis past time for VA prisoners to join the righteous prison
movements popping up all over the Amerikkkan Empire, especially

“The IWW/IWOC and rebel prisoners across the US have
put out a nationwide call for prisoners 1o engage in a peaceful,
nonviolent work stoppagelstrike beginning September 9, 2016. The
FVM calls forour work stoppage t begin on September 1, 2016 and
continue through January 1, 2017. This nationwide work stoppage
has the potential of bringing the profies derived from cheap and free
prisoner labor 1o a grinding halt and this system of prolonged mass
incarceration to ts knees.

Operations, A. David Robinson, requies/mandates that pris
must recurn all the way to our housing units and our visitors must
return all the way to the Frone Entey ust to use the restroom. The
restrooms inside the visiting room are now off limits!

This new policy cuts into already limited visitation time
and subjects us and our loved ones to additional humiliading,
dehumanizing, and intrusive body searches. This is not just a war

againstprisoners, buta caleulated and seraegic war against our loved
ones and the delicate emotional bonds and ties that exist berween

Like the ill-fted boiled frog who was unable to detect the
gradualy rsing temperature n his artificial environment, prisoners
in Virginia are unwilling to acknowledge and unable to ascertain
that dhis new restricive policy ditccted at contact visis is a “gradual”
push towards the abolition of ALL contace visits.

Many of us trapped behind the walls of Virginia's modern-
day gulags are so caught up n a zone and in the monotonous reliey of
prison life so busy “enjoying” ourselves —as did the rog —and being
deceived by the illusion of privleges while the “rising temperature”
of facist oppression/epression is slowly but seadily increasing, we
donit even see what's coming: and that s the gradual curtailment of
ALL the gains we've won over the years via grievances and lawsuis
and the implementacion of far more oppressivelrepressive poliies
and procedures designed to make our bids a lving nightmare. But
there s reason to have hope.

Potentially the most dynamic and revolutionary force
within the VADOC is the Free Virginia Movement and s current
push to rescore parole — among other things — and improve the
living conditions of prisoners by organizing a coordinated, suatewide
work stoppage so that we can position ourselves to jump out of the
water before it starts to boil and then smash the pot to picces.

With the cooperative efforts of prisoners from diverse
racial and cultural groups, socio-cconomic backgrounds and schools
of thought, we can and MUST seize the moment on September 1,
2016 by planning and then executing a state-vide work stike — in
solidarity with the nationwide prisoner work strike on September
9, 2016; we MUST acuualize, realze, and then exert our Labor
Power and uilize our leverage as the nuts and boles thac hold the
VADOC together and running like a well-oiled machine so that we
can change the course of our destiny and that of our sons, daughters,
grandsons, granddaughters, as wellas our nicces and nephews who'll
be the nex target of the Prison Industrial Complex and victims of
the School-to-Prison Pipeline.

BUCKIN IN THE BOP

BY ANONYMOUS

P

“Thats right, wete tired of chis shit — fuck work call, fuck standing
up for count, fuck their chow hall, we buckin!

Comeades, it time for a frank assessment of our situation.
Weve seen case afer case of unarmed people of color gunned down
by police on tape, cops who will never spend 2 night in jail while
we doing long bids on some BS tumped up charges. Dozens of
undocumented immigrants have died from intentional medical
neglectin BOP-contracted private CCA and GEQ prisons. And for
allthe talk of reforms, most of us in the feds are getting no 2-poine
eduction of Johnson appeals, no chance of presidential clemency.
‘Whichever corporate puppet ot fascist maniac wins the election, its

all bad for us. Our only hope i collctive action, collecive rsistance
against the pigs in pover.

As we speak, our comrades in Alsbama and Texas sate
prisons are already going hard — refusing 1o work, refusing o leave
their cell, all kinds of rightcous rambunctious shit — and they put
the call out for a nasionwide prisoner seike for September 9th, the
45th anniversary of the Auica uprising. Though many east coast
prisons every year buck on this date by refusing chow hall this
year is going down everywhere, and it gonna be big. We have the
Rl suppore of organizations like the INW Incarcerated Workers
Union and the National Lawyers Guild. You can count on us to
hold it down in the Bureau of risons: and for those of usin general
population, this is our opporeunity o actively recruit and spread the
resistance building up to this date.

Here comes the excuses: “It could never happen here.”,
“Bue T was tying to get 1o a low..”, *I dont want 1o be put on
commissary or phone resriction..” WTF you came to prison to
follow the rules? All this tough alk and willingness 10 commic
smallime crimes like making wine or ighting or staling food out
the chow hall is cool and all, but where you at when i’ time 10
buck on the pigs? I¢s not impossible — it happens all the time, and
if you could get enough people who are down, we can turn the hard
times into big wins, big payback for all the ways we've been wronged
over the years. But if we zim to destroy this vicious machine, we
mustunderstand its mechanisms, o that we may formulate effective
seraegies. How did we get here? How do we fight this submissive
menality and effctively show conviet sttengeh and unity?

OUR STORY SO FAR

The modern prison system from the startis an extension
of slavery-sharecropper days, enabled by the 13th amendment
of the consttution prohibiting involuntary servitude “except as
punishment for crime.” Indeed, many plantations were bought up
and wrned into prisons, such as Angola sate prison in Louisiana,
where we continue to work the fields to this day. Over time, a
combination of draconian laws such as mandatory minimum
cklcocaine disparities, stop and frisk, broken
windows, and the millarization of local police departmens led to
this unprecedented police sate with over 2.3 myillion people behind
bars. (For more info plz see The New Jim Crow)

More people in prison means more forced labor means
hella profits which is what chis is all about. Tn the feds, you are
requited to have a job: essentially che entire prison's operations are
fan by the prisoners, so as to avoid having to hire full-time staff
members being paid street salaries. We cook the food, fix plumbing
and electrical systems, and paint their walls while the COs turn
keys and generally be abusive, intrusive pigs. Bu the main villain
in this sory is UNICOR — the governmencowned private
corporation found at most federal prisons. A flg reading *75 years
“UNICOR Supports Our Troops” and other sickening
ed, white, and blue miliaristic b
the factory foor which resembles the sewing lines found in China
and Bangladesh. UNICOR makes nearly everything found here
in federal prison, from our own khaki prison uniforms, our cheap
plastic chairs, our chow hall cups and trays, our eyeglasses — but
they also make shit for the military, including uniforms for the
Army, Marines, even the Afghanistan National Police Force (further
demonstrating the interconnectednes of the prison and military
industrial complexes). Disturbingly, the UNICOR at Lompoc even
packages and distributes bags of poor-qualiy “Brazilian Coffec” now
being sold in commissaries everywhere — they are lrally seling us
our own sweat, blood, and tears back to us.

UNICOR underbids other companies for lucrative
government contracts because they do not have to pay us minimum
wage or abide by health and safety standards — they're essentilly
sweatshops,in form and function. Pay grades range between $16-69
2 month, and potentially more if you put in nights and wekends
(chough they are notorious for scamming people out of longeviy
and overtime), but if you donit work at UNICOR yourre likely

of service

s sis sbove the entrance to

geting 2 $5.25 2 month “maintenance pay” (which they aren't
Supposed to be doing anyway) — forcing us o choose becween soap,
coffee, or about 20 minutes on the phone

In the capivalist “free world,” we supposedly have the
tight t0 unionize and collectve bargaining, a system in which the
bosses have mastered in collsboration with politicians and police
o keep the upper hand. The cruel raliy in prison where we have
none of these rights at all exposes the true narure of this economic
prison system, wage-shave and cage-slave alike. Squeering mass
incarceration or mass profits while they toss us the table scraps and
deny us basic human and civil rights, the basic system has been
effective o this point because most of us do ot receive money from
home, and if we want to live in elasive comort, we keep our heads
down, work at their factories, and hand the money right back to
them at their commissary. We will forever be second clas citizens

and wage slaves, o long a5 we allow their prison society o exist, so
long as we are willing 1o compromise by choosing the path of least
resistance instead of collecively taking the risk for the bigger score
— freedom, for one and all of us

WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

We need 1o tansform the submissive
these people” menality into that of generalized resistance, where
we refuse to be their servants. Every day all day complaining about
our conditions? Don' alk about i, be about it — get together and
make a lst of issues — we ain' getting paid shit, the food fucking
sucks, che health care is horrible, they keep denying vistors, keep
messing with our mail, months in the hole without a shot under
“SIS investigation,” etc, ete. Conneet it with national political
debate — police bruulity, draconion drug war sentences, the
Zimmer amendment, privacized prisons, the lack of federal parole,
etc. Now its time for action. Widespread direct action, mass work
stoppages and hunger stikes, leading 1o a criss point where the
prisons become unmanageable and unprofiable. Sabotaging the
plumbing and electical systems and covering every surface you find
with graffit while ansforming the culeure so that it wil not be
fixed or painted over by obedient inmates.

For mass action, possibly the deciding factor will be geting
the heads of state on board, the shotcallers o all the cars and cliques
o enforce suppor for the srike and repercussions for the scabs and.
serikebreakers who do not go along with the plan. Prisons keep us
divided so we fight amongst ourselves, therefore,the key is a show of
unity; something the prison administration will ake very seriously;
something that has worked every time, like in Auica, Lucasvile,
and California (see the "Agreement to End Hostilites” during the
California state hunger srkes).

“The climate at each prison difersso you'll have to pecp the
scene and figure out the most appropriate and effectiv tactic, what
people are comfortable with doing. Some possibilties:

“you can't beat

- Nobody goes to chow hall. Nobody goes to work.
Nobody stands for count

- During mainline, march in circles around the compound
cussing ou the warden, and when they tell you to revurn o the uit,
st your ass down, refusing their orders to walk voluntarily to the
SHU.

- Gather full names of exceptionally sinister guards to leak
to the intemnet, targeting BOP bureaucrats individually (such as
the millionaite Harley Lappin, former BOP director and currenc
excutive VP at CCA).

- Get everybody together in the recrearion yard and refuse
o return to the unit at recall, cump out in that motherfucker all
nighe ill the helicopers come.

Mostof us,especially those who are geting out sooner than
later, are probably not comforcable with doing anything erazy that
could result in geting sreet charges and extra time, so something
“saer” like a work serke where the wors you'e looking at is 300
Seres shot is 2 more likely mas action. Don't get it twisted: we
cheered when they shot them cops in Dalla, Texas. I¢s ti for ta,
baby. This is war, violence is our daily reality and if we want to win
this thing, we have to be prepared to play with a full deck and use
every tactc at our avalability:. For September 9th, the callis being
put ou for a general strike, everybody refusing to go to work, so as
0 expose and cut into the profit morive of mass incarceration: buc
if not everybody on your compound is down, then you might need
that liee extra push to guarantee a good lockdown.

WHAT IS OUR ONE DEMAND?

“The reaction from the administration can play out in a
number of different ways. We may get our asses peppersprayed and
thrown in the hole for long stretches, carning ourselves a transfer
0 another prison. But with mass action, there is not enough room
in the SHU for all of us, s0 its hard to say how icll go down. Its

possible the administration will come trying to negotiate in order
t put a peaceful end to the strke: they may offer smallime
reforms, temporary symbolic changes, extra zoom zooms and wham
whams that some prisoners might be tempred to consider. For
example, as a result of the California prisoner hunger surikes, the
CDOCR promised to reduce the widespread practice of indefinite
solitary confinement — a promise which in many ways they have
filed to deliver. Though we may make some material gains in our
living conditions, the process of making demands and accepring
compromises is reformist in nature: we want more than longer
chains and bigger cages. We donitjust wane slightly better wages at
'UNICOR, we wani t shut UNICOR down, here and everywhere,
forever

“The reality is that prison offcials cannot and will never
capiculate 1o our most basic demand: our freedom, an end 1o
incarceration and involunary servitude. Our effores must be
framed very clearly in an abolicionist and revolutionary framework,
in our words and deeds. W'l win some, lose some, gain practcal
experience for the nest one and solidify bonds of solidarity in the
process, but one thing we can' do is compromise. There are millions
of us and only a few of them. Organizations in the streets got our
backs. IF we all stay strong togerher, we'll meet in the middle and
tear these fences down once and for all
