The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections told me this morning there are nine men refusing food in the intensive management unit of SCI Greene, the state's maximum security prison.

Staff are following "hunger strike protocols," a spox told me (p. 48) https://t.co/sqH4j1xZsQ

If a clause in the Constitution can turn prisoners into slaves, a clause in the Constitution can turn non-prisoners into slaves as well!!! Freedom for ALL, or freedom for NONE!!! #StrikeTheClause

Asking why the the PA DA's Association is supporting SB913, a probation "reform" bill? The purpose of probation reform is to release ppl from trap probation, not expand probation.

In January of this year, Cetewayo tried to go back to court with a motion to withdraw his guilty plea and demand a new trial. Unfortunately, Judge DiClaudio chose to threaten Cetewayo with a return to the prison system that tortured him for 51 years and held him in...2/3

https://t.co/cqsL3QWGeV Cetewayo, returned to the loving arms and support of his family and friends, freedom isn’t enough. He’s choosing to live up to the nickname given to him in his youth and continuing to fight not just for liberation but for vindication.1/3
