E283 - Prison Planet w/ Jarrod Shanahan, Zhana Kurti (Part 1)
<p>Jarrod and Zhana return to talk about their new book "Skyscraper Jails: The Abolitionist Fight Against Jail Expansion in New York City"! We look at how the liberal apparatus used identity politics and divert the abolitionist movement to expand incarceration, and check in how the De Blasio-era plan to closer rikers and replace it with four "community" "justice hubs" has fared under the anti-Woke era of the Adams administration. </p><p>Lastly, we talk about the the recent "Wildcat" CO strike in state prisons as a broader effort to roll back the reforms of the BLM and other anticarceral struggles, as a preview of the dark plans for expanded incarceration of the Trump 2.0</p><p><strong>In part 2 of the episode we talk about the counter-revolutoinary history of Tren de Aragua and the Enemy Aliens Act of 1798. to hear it, support the show at </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://patreon.com/theantifada"><strong>http://patreon.com/theantifada</strong></a></p><p>BUY the book from Haymarket: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2454-skyscraper-jails">https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2454-skyscraper-jails</a></p><p>Adams on new Manhattan jail developments: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2025/01/18/rikers-manhattan-jail-contract">https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/politics/2025/01/18/rikers-manhattan-jail-contract</a></p><p>More info on MH jail redesign: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://newyorkyimby.com/2025/01/new-preliminary-renderings-revealed-for-manhattan-detention-center-at-124-125-white-street-in-chinatown-manhattan.html">https://newyorkyimby.com/2025/01/new-preliminary-renderings-revealed-for-manhattan-detention-center-at-124-125-white-street-in-chinatown-manhattan.html</a></p><p>Jarrod on upstate prison strike: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://truthout.org/articles/nys-prison-guard-strike-has-roots-in-decades-of-racialized-deindustrialization/">https://truthout.org/articles/nys-prison-guard-strike-has-roots-in-decades-of-racialized-deindustrialization/</a></p><p>Aziz Rana on Consitutional Crisis: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/constitutional-collapse">https://newleftreview.org/sidecar/posts/constitutional-collapse</a></p><p>Our early episode with Nadja Guyot from No New Jails: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-69-abolish-w-30401262">https://www.patreon.com/posts/ep-69-abolish-w-30401262</a> </p><p> Song: Cock Sparrer - Out on an Island</p>
