Dear ajames,
This weekend, another incarcerated person was beaten to death by prison guards. He was murdered at Mid-State prison, directly across the street from where Robert Brooks was murdered in December.
Please join us TOMORROW at 10:30am at the State Capitol in Albany for an emergency rally and press conference to demand New York bring people home and end a culture of brutality. RSVP here. (If you can’t make it in person, you can watch on Zoom here.)
Since indictments were handed down in the murder of Robert Brooks, guards have been engaged in illegal work stoppages, leaving thousands of incarcerated people with limited or no access to food, medicine and medical care, visits, and programs, as a means to avoid accountability. These murders follow decades of well-documented brutality by prison staff, including the murders of Leonard Strickland, Karl Taylor, Samuel Harrell, and many others.
