Incarcerated Labor: A Hellish Interview of Prison Labor Activst Azzurra Crispino

by our friends at This Is Hell Radio

Prison labor activist Azzurra Crispino explains how a nation-wide prison work stoppage revealed mass incarceration's large-scale exploitation of incarcerated labor, and the brutal lengths the state will go to protect its interests - and calls for the public to embrace love in the face of fear, and humanizing prisoners as a starting point on the road to prison abolition.
Azzurra last spoke to This Is Hell! on day two of the nation-wide prison work stoppage: thisishell.com/interviews/917-azzurra-crispino
