When I called #MDCBrooklyn and told them it was inhumane to keep people without heat. This operators response was “it’s inhumane to make federal workers work with no pay” #OCCUPYForHumanity#UntilThereIsHeat
@MsStephanieJ@gideonoliver And this was the dress rehearsal last night for today’s BS “credible threat” by #MDCBrooklyn.
This is not over. Ppl & press are needed at #MDC. Admin/guards are retaliating against ppl locked up inside. They stopped legal visits. Family cannot enter.

A very important piece examining social justice advocacy in American universities following Trump's election, and the violence that these universities themselves are built upon.
"...in other words, perhaps more universities promote more jails."

All cages are inhumane. Pretending MDC is an outlier so you can make it a federal or Trump issue means you just want to play political football with peoples lives.
Address people’s needs & stop pretending jails & prisons aren’t inhumane. #NoNewJailsNYC

Torture in MDC isn't an anomaly - jails are for torturing. MDC has been called "Brooklyn's Abu Ghraib" for its regular use of humiliation, sleep deprivation, and physical and sexual abuse of Muslims and Arabs detained there after 9/11 #jailsaretorture https://t.co/mtzGnzGmBe
Shut It Down is having our 4 year anniversary action this Monday, February 4th! Join us at 7 PM at Grand Central Terminal as we remember #AmadouDiallo, a Black man murdered by the NYPD on that day in 1999. #PeoplesMonday#BlackLivesMatter#FTP https://t.co/cAHLOzhhkw
Let’s be clear about something: the fact that unconstitutionally inhumane conditions could persist in a NYC jail (MDC) for days before the press or public knew is a product of the deliberate opacity of the federal carceral system (which should be abolished.)
People have been complaining about MDC since forever & these 2 opportunist politicians did little-to-nothing. The freezing conditions are far from the only thing wrong with that place. But as soon as the press leaves & it gets a little warmer, they'll go right back to not caring.
More than 1,000 inmates have been stuck in freezing cells at a federal jail on the Brooklyn waterfront that has had limited power & heat for the past week:
"We didn’t have heat in the building, we didn’t have light, the weather was actually unbearable.”
