La prison au coin de ta rue

CaliforniaPrison

Pour que le système qu’on nous impose puisse se maintenir, il lui faut mettre en oeuvre toutes sortes de restructurations. Il y a bien sûr les fameuses restructurations des entreprises et les mesures d’austérité du gouvernement, mais il y a aussi une augmentation généralisée de la répression dans le plus de domaines de la vie possibles. Lorsque la préservation de ce système rend de plus en plus difficile pour beaucoup de gens le simple fait de mener une vie digne, l’Etat doit en effet étendre sa palette de moyens pour tenir tous ces gens en laisse, renforcer l’oppression, nicher sa toute-puissance apparente dans les têtes.

(“In the shadow of a prison, no-one can be free. No to the maxi-prison, let’s be uncontrollable!”)

Report published in Ricochets n° 04, the newsletter against the maxi-prison [a maximum security prison-complex] and the world that goes with it:

In the last week of February, a group of people brought down nearly half of the 400 Heras fences that had just been installed with the aim of surrounding the site of the future maxi-prison [in Haren]. The preliminary stage of work, the fences enclosing the area, has already provided a taste of the militarisation and devastation caused by the construction of the jail. If it is good news that the terrain was liberated from these vile fences, we also know that this is only the beginning, and that the builders of the maxi-prison will continue their malicious work. Unless, of course, they are faced with resistance which does not cease to put spanners in the works…
