Did you know? The largest maximum security prison in the United States sits on eighteen thousand acres of former plantation land in Louisiana.

It is still a working farm. Men still pick crops in the fields by hand, watched by guards on horseback.

And it is named after the country the people enslaved there were taken from. Angola.

The land was four plantations. The one that gave the prison its name was called Angola because that was where its owner's workforce had come from.

After the Civil War the property was leased for convict labour, and then the state bought it and kept the system going under a different name.

Men still work the fields for cents an hour. Refusing to work has historically been punishable.

It holds around five thousand people. The overwhelming majority are Black. Most are serving life without parole.

It also hosts a rodeo, twice a year, open to the paying public, where prisoners compete for small prizes in front of an audience that drives in for the day.

A plantation named for an African country, worked by Black men under armed guard, with a paying crowd on weekends.

Nothing about that sentence is metaphor. Every word of it is the literal description of a functioning American institution.

PLEASE READ: One of the 7 Cornell rapists Scott Kretzschmar’s mother, Samantha Kretzschmar, is the Director of Public Safety (painfully ironic) in Fraser Michigan. Her department is hosting a public safety open house on October 20th! It would be nice if the Fraser community came together to demand her son face the consequences for what he and his friends did! This open house is supposed to make their community safer, meanwhile the director of their public safety is the mother of a rapist who is free and being protected.

“Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked.

“I don’t know,” Angel, 13, replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

🚨BREAKING: A highly foul smell spread across Gaza City overnight, leaving residents searching their homes and tents for its source.

Social media platforms were flooded with complaints from Palestinians reporting the same unbearable odor across large areas, from Al-Tuffah and Al-Daraj in the east to Beit Lahia in the west.

According to journalist Yousef Fares in Gaza, Israeli military aircraft dropped hundreds of bubbles carrying the foul-smelling substance across these areas, deliberately contaminating the air and spreading the odor among residential areas.
