2 New Videos highlighting the deplorable conditions in U.S. Immigrant Dentention Centers

Two recent videos highlighting the deplorable conditions of imprisonment that refugees and immigrants (for the most part economic refugees from the policies of Neo-Liberalism, old fashion capitalist imperialism in a new guise) in the U.S. are subjected to under the auspices of Homeland Security. According to the video 'Detention In America' by 60 minutes the conditions in U.S. prisons are even worse. Such examples help to demonstrate why PP/POW's solidarity and prison abolition must be within the very top priorities of any social justice movement worth it's salt.
