Organizing a National Prison Strike From Behind Bars

On the 45th anniversary of New York State’s deadly Attica uprising, inmates at prisons across the United States undertook what’s been called “the biggest prison protest in US history.” The unifying theme is what some call forced labor--often unpaid and un-monitored by the world outside--and others call prison slavery.

Bob talks to Azzurra Crispino, the Media Co-Chair for the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC), one of the activist groups behind the work strike. She says the issues from Attica are back on the table.
