T Don Hutto - America's Family Prison Add Favorites   n May 2006, the Department of Homeland Security opened its first prison for immigrant families 30 miles north of Austin. It is the first family detention center in the country to be based on the penal model, though plans were quickly made to build more. The T Don Hutto facility holds men, women (some pregnant), children, and infants, none of whom have a criminal past. Administered by the Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the country's largest for-profit corrections company, Hutto lacks proper licensing and medical facilities, and has been proven to traumatize families (16.46 mim) web: http://tdonhutto.blogspot.com/

3/19 San Ramon, CA: Nonviolent Direct Action At Chevron Headquarters Add Favorites   [Video by: Ariel López] Video about protest on Chevron headquarters in San Ramon , California after 4 years of war against Iraq and the world. On the morning of March 19th a nonviolent direct action took place at Chevron World Headquarters, 6001 Bollinger Canyon Road in San Ramon. Protesters demanded an end to Chevron's oil crimes from Richmond to Iraq, saying "No blood for oil! Climate justice now! and Stop war, end empire!" About 100 people participated, from locking themselves to "oil" barrels in order to block one entrance to Chevron's headquarters to participating in street theater. Organizers say, "Chevron poisons local communities from Richmond, to Ecuador and Nigeria. The Chevron refinery in Richmond spews... toxins into the air, water, and land, including cancer-causing dioxins, on the largely African American, South East Asian, and Latino communities. The refinery and plant have had hundreds of accidents, including fires, spills, leaks, explosions, toxic gas releases, flaring, and air contaminations causing severe illness, including asthma and deadly cancers, for the people of Richmond. The people of Richmond are fighting back and demanding that Chevron clean up or get out. We need to imagine a world without Chevron, its oil, and its climate chaos."

Punish The Poor Add Favorites   The criminal justice policy (in the US, reluctantly followed by the EU) has turned out in more punishing. The criminal justice policy (in the US, reluctantly followed by the EU) has turned out in more punishing. This has not much to do with 'crime and punishment' but rather with a new policy of social insecurity. Its gain is to mould man and woman in the maelstrom of the economical deregulation and the transformation of the social help, who now becomes a guide to an unworthy job. In the framework of this liberal- paternalistic arrangements the prison receives back his original roll: to crease a recalcitrant population to accept the ruling economical and moral order.
