We detail the challenges faced by incarcerated individuals with disabilities in navigating this system and how legal actors wage war to facilitate perpetual indebtedness to the state.
📢Our new article @CaptiveMoneyLab introduces the theoretical concept of "civil lawfare" based on our analysis of AG led pay-to-stay lawsuits against incarcerated people, particularly those with disabilities. *If need be, please reach out to us for a copy. academic.oup.com/socpro/advance…

So far, 6 Clayton County Jail detainees have died this year, more than in all of 2023. One man, Eric Lee, was held on a $1500 bond on a shoplifting charge. He only had 25 cents for a $3.29 coffee. A report from the sheriff's office states he was homeless.

50% of Americans can’t afford their rent or mortgage payments. - 22% skip meals - 21% work more hours - 21% sell their stuff - 16% skip the doctor Meanwhile — to keep housing costs *high* — the Real Estate industry has donated $95+ million to federal candidates for 2024 alone.
Police broke his leg then offered him a SILLY plea deal. Thabo lost 6 figures fighting that shit on principle alone. Only reason he beat the charge was he had money, a witness AND videotape. Sorry to that golfer but that ain't even top 5 in athletes v. police.

Inmates do billions of dollars of work for companies and governments each year. A landmark trafficking lawsuit alleges many are being kept in prison because the business is just too good. The suit says it seeks “to abolish a modern day form of slavery” bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Few are familiar with the prison industry and fewer know the extent of its greed. This invisibility has protected it and its exploitative practices. That ends now. A year delayed due to COVID-19, today my TED Talk is out! Thank you @TEDTalks @TEDFellow go.ted.com/biancatylek
