The webinar hosted by @behearddc is mind-blowing. I cant unsee what I saw. I felt sick seeing & knowing the costs & phone companies’ profits while harming families & deaf/disabled inmates. This is what capitalism in mass incarceration looks. #DeafInPrison

the current or former (?) inmate talking to @behearddc commented people who head to prison or jail should be protected. It falls on the overall system (educational to judicial) who created this. Deprivation in many deaf & disabled people’s lives should be discussed. #DeafinPrison
the concept of school pipeline to prison (shouldn’t be a concept in the 1st place) doesn’t just apply to hearing schools; this also includes deaf schools. workplaces & more count b/c that’s where deprivation of information often happens. #DeafinPrison #DeafPrisonPhoneJustice
I've found language and hope and optimism and myself in the work of Disabled artists. Many of them have been where some of us are going. I'm threading a few that are on my mind starting with @shanfinnegan.

Deaf/Disabled folks need to show up for #PrisonStrike2018.
At least 60% imprisoned folks are Disabled. They are targeted for no/lowest wages and other discrimination: no access to ed, programs, services, info, mental/healthcare.

The few methods of communicating info in immigration prisons (call ctrs, word of mouth) are not accessible for disabled/deaf folks.
Attorneys/advocates, please actively look for disabled folks during visits & ask your clients if they've seen disabled/deaf folks in their prisons.

Folks keep mentioning detention & deportation as though they're unaware of how deadly our system is.

ADULTS! Why are we inviting cops into marginalized communities (e.g., camps/school/universities serving Disabled/Deaf Youth) to do "know your rights" trainings?
You're setting our Youth up for terrible injustice.
Please stop this & please intervene if you see any announcements.

This is absolutely outrageous!
This is so problematic I don't even know what to say.
A Deaf student was literally snatched up & caged--& will be caged for LIFE by this very dept. His kid--younger than these kids visits him in prison now!
I'm literally ill from this. SMGDH.
