Thrilled to see my first (!) academic article, a piece Asha Best and I wrote about the intersection of carceral geographies and critical logistics, published in Society & Space

Online 1st: Iolanthe Brooke and Asha Best 'Prison fixes and flows: Carceral mobilities and their critical logistics' journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

🚨NEW: It's officially back-to-school season. Unfortunately, researching and learning about the criminal legal system & mass incarceration is not easy. So we decided to gather resources to make the data more accessible for students & teachers👇 prisonpolicy.org/blog/2024/09/0…

Solidarity with arrested NYU faculty!

NYU faculty getting arrested protecting their students. Beautiful. This is solidarity.

The NYPD just pepper sprayed protesters. They’re currently chasing protesters through the streets around NYU.

We are horrified by the arrest of our colleagues at NYU. #FreeThemAll

NOW: NYPD arrests at least a dozen NYU faculty members in the ‘Liberated Zone’ at Gould Plaza Police deployed the LRAD while protesters were praying

At the Dec 13 bargaining session, Northwestern admin offered graduate workers a “status quo” stipend proposal. Let’s be clear—the “status quo” represents a pay cut from 2020 inflation-adjusted levels. And grad workers weren’t being paid fairly back in 2020 either! Fair wage now!

Grad worker's inflation-adjusted wages have fallen 6.7% since Fall of 2020. At the same time, the endowment soared and admin posted $100 million surpluses. Are YOU ready to fight for a fair wage? Join the Rally Monday at Noon in Silverman Courtyard. RSVP: bit.ly/fall-2023-rally

It's not clear what banning physical mail is accomplishing other than enriching this company. The NC Dept of Corrections says it's “safer, faster and cheaper” than dealing with mail in-house. Faster for who? Cheaper for who?

As Audre Lorde said, America is on the wrong side of every liberation struggle on this earth.

Probably the wrong people who should be moralizing about violence are those living in the world’s number one settler colony whose hands are bloodied by the deaths of millions.

Please watch. It doesn’t have to be like this. #secondlook #EndLWOP

Today, @nytopinion released a video piece that uses @VisitingRoomPr interviews to examine our nation’s widespread use of life without the possibility of parole sentences. It asks whether people who have served decades in prison ought to get a second look. nytimes.com/2023/08/01/opi…
