 Indy TV # 15: Critical Resistance and Prison Abolition
from CitizenJournalism - recent posts - blip.tv (beta)
September 23, 2008
Rochester Indy TV interviews two organizers Helia Rasti and Jonathan Strebling-Uss, both work with Critical Resistance a movement to abolish the prison industrial complex. This week thousands will gather in Oakland California to celebrate ten years of Critical Resistance and strategize for a future a without prisons. The conference will be broadcast live on thousandkites.org and check out the new CR10 website. http://www.criticalresistance.org/ "Critical Resistance's vision is the creation of genuinely safe, healthy communities that respond to harm without relying on prisons and punishment. We call our vision "abolition", and take the name purposefully from those who called for the abolition of slavery in the 1800's. Abolitionists believed that slavery could not be fixed or reformed - it needed to be abolished. As PIC abolitionists today, we also do not believe that reforms can make the PIC just or effective. Our goal is not to improve the system; it is to shrink the system into non-existence"

 Growing up with a father in prison: Part II
from - blip.tv (beta)
August 20, 2008
The first time Emani Davis's father saw her as a baby, he was behind a glass partition at the Brooklyn House of Detention. At that moment, neither imagined that this first encounter would set the stage for most of their interactions in the decades to come. When Emani was six, her father was again headed for prison--this time sentenced to 107 years for his role in a shooting in Virginia. For the past 22 years, the time she spends with her father has been monitored by armed guards and limited to prison visiting hours.

 Video Game Revolution / New Jail for Seattle
from The Conversation Podcast
June 17, 2008
The release of the new Grand Theft Auto video game is a big deal. Sort of what a new Beatles album or Star Wars movie meant for earlier generations. What's the impact of video games on our culture? Are you playing the new Grand Theft Auto IV game? What do you think? What's the impact of video games on you? On your family and friends? Also today, Seattle is looking at four sites for a new jail Haller Lake, Interbay, Highland Park, and near the reservoir in West Seattle. The United States has only five percent of the world's population, but nearly a quarter of all the prisoners. Why do we lock up so many people here compared to other countries? How does Washington State compare? Is it keeping us safer?

A New Jail For Seattle
from KUOW's The Conversation Podcast
May 07, 2008
Last night the political pundits called Barack Obama's strong showing in the North Carolina and Indiana primaries decisive. We know who the nominee is, intoned Tim Russert. What do you think of the election news coverage? Also, to publish or not to publish? The managing editors for the Seattle Times and PI talk about their different decisions on running photos of suspected terrorists provided by the FBI. We learned this week the people in the photos were harmless European businessmen. Also today, Seattle is looking at four sites for a new jail Haller Lake, Interbay, Highland Park, and near the reservoir in West Seattle. The United States has only five percent of the world's population, but nearly a quarter of all the prisoners. Why do we lock up so many people here compared to other countries? Is it keeping us safer?

 Tim Barrus: Le Voleur Nu -- The Naked Thief
from recent posts tagged gay - blip.tv (beta)
May 05, 2008
Le Voleur Nu An Open Letter and a Poem for Jean Genet: The Naked Thief by Tim Barrus screwing myself into any video is more meaningful to me than written poetry on a page/ because the poets and the editors would punish me/ too/ with the belt of arrogance/ it was the belt that lead me to genet/ you/ dead painter of asylums/ jailed lady of the flowers/ incarcerated adolescent boy/ the thief of loaves of bread/ no lady/ there/ no tea where the writer arrives to speak/ his wisdoms/ i had to fight back/ you taught me that/ you with your vice of knives/ me with performance art/ i treated it like performance art/ it was that anyway/ you will never be published/ bitch/ is what they -- the authorities of the my prison -- said/ you do not merit our attention/ until i did/ so let's put that little fantasy to rest/ screwing myself into any poetic vision found in video is a better thievery of another kind/ it is my journal/ of flowers/ i don't even like cock/ but show me a better rebellion/ a better revolution/ in lieu of chopping off heads/ the streets of paris soaked in blood/ i make a terrible faggot/ never having found a male who could even begin to make the emotional connection of a lover/ or a prisoner/ to materialism/ i am glad for other men who find it/ but in the recesses of my imprisoned soul i doubt/ oh/ great doubts/ it exists/ i have never seen it/ but what better way to symbolize the fact i don't share your values/ i don't share your dreams/ i don't share your politics/ i don't share your bed/ i am not like you/ straight folks and the suits being so accustomed to the generic opaqueness of their we're all the same here world/ no/ we're not/ what better way/ than to suggest/ the boys fuck your brains out/ all illusion is performance art/ i don't share your domesticity either/ just bury me next to genet/ i want to be buried in morocco/ in a grave/ high upon a bluff/ overlooking a barren sea/ i find myself/ sweating through/ un chant d'amour/ the guard enters the prisoner's cell/ he unzips/ but he doesn't go for his erection/ he removes his thick leather belt/ then he moves in on his victim/ his prisoner/ and that was exactly/ exactly/ my father/ too/ i was there/ naked on the bed/ waiting for the belt to beat the fucking shit out of me/ regardless of what the self-appointed literary critics with their morally outraged blogs have to say/ i will show you moral outrage/ and your little dog/ too/ i was there and a child/ albeit not an innocent one/ but one who knew intimately/ the murderous relationship/ between/ the morbid and the mystical/ the musical and the misbehaved/ genet's vice of knives squeezing the cum from violence and seduction/ even as a child i kept the guns he gave me/ lovingly gave me/ it was a house of guns/ guns/ guns/ his smells and male touch ingrained into the stocks/ the oils of him/ in my room fully loaded/ often sleeping with the guns/ and it wasn't until i was 17 that i turned those guns on myself/ every subsequent lover i have ever had has traced and touched my scars with their seductive fingers/ you wrote: his disguise relieves him of the necessity of going through all the rigamarole required in the public execution of any preconceived murder/ for me/ that would go double for all the various little murders of the self/ assuming dark continents where the sun sets and rises/ long voyages of mistakes/ questionable cargo/ the tough and the turbulent/ rough trade/ those strong and supple boys you wrote so much of/ obscure ports and anchored/ the brothels and the whores/ a piece of ass/ you the embellished among the filthy and despised/ i know, too/ about being despised/ i like it/ i court it/ i fan those flames/ i am/ after all/ beneath contempt/ and am not worthy of publication/ until/ i was/ an illusion/ when i am usually/ that/ sordid signs and grandeur/ literary paris hustler and some secret grace/ not much has changed/ perhaps nothing/ i find it difficult and strange to make art in america/ the disconnect is too much/ to overcum/ where art is just another marketplace/ of gatekeepers/ you had your prison cells/ and mine are in america/ what thief (not a nice person and doesn't get invites to barbecues) lives deep within us/ what recourse do we have but the luminosity of words/ or the shadows that they cast/ poverty is no excuse and one's heart contracts/ the moment of cuming clouds over/ in america it is a crime to be a vagrant/ austere/ or destitute/ by the gravity and the means of splendor/ i make more cash hustling than from poetry/ jerking off for men who will pay to watch/ they are not attracted to me/ but to my notoriety/ i am corruptible and it is tenderness that is the fragile stuff/ and gives away easily to the adventure of burning down the town/ if doctor guillotine had not invented the guillotine i would have/ line the publishers up/ oh/ woe is them/ my fingers ache from the knitting/ fuck them with knitting needles/ perforate their rectums/ then cut their heads off/ i could do it/ too/ sometimes it is necessary/ to insist on revolution/ the marketplace awards its prizes to the buyers and sellers of suffering/ i have proved my point/ one constructs one's ruin with one's irredeemable destruction of one's own work and i have roasted wieners over my smoking manuscripts/ like the charred dicks from hell/ i know from both your life and your death that one is suddenly alone/ if the marketplace is emblematic of our survival and not our work/ we are its faithful dogs/ it's not that we are convicts/ but that we are escaped convicts/ pesetas earned around pissoirs/ i do not think they would publish you today/ your triumph was not the rising above the criminality/ but was the criminality/ your triumph was not the rising above the dickensian starvation of the foster home or the redemption after prison and you did not find god/ finding the haunted and the burdens of the pimps and the sorrow of dead flowers and you retreated to the farthest edges of the world/ your characters are always making love/ getting fucked/ even the children and begging for money and scraps of food/ you were writing your own secret history and today it cannot be done/ it must conform/ one must rise above the scavenging because the marketplace loves pretense especially the pretense the rising from the gutter can be done/ today the poets want it nice (ginsburg was the last of them who got fucked) and butterflies and golfing putter lawns/ remorse is only manifest in solitude/ and tangiers was dry and sex in alleyways hot with hashish/ all movement is eventually arrested/ your focus was only central to the peripheral edges of your vision/ and mine/ to seek the experience of being alive/ in one's body/ you walk into it where i climb down/ you face it where i walk away/ you spit in its face where i reflect on disenchantment/ my bandages are poems and a revenge that rejects their ability to diminish/ me/ they are my various refusals to bleed for them/ your bandages were wishbones/ and those were what you sucked the marrow out of/ on your knees/ you did not wear bandages/
