Oakland Juvenile Prison Protest 
A protest at Oakland Frank Ogawa Plaza against the Alamdea supervisors proposing to build a large juvenile prison. Prevention might be a good thing here instead of a prison. The prison guard union has really gotten strong and I am sure they are not opposing future growth and influnce of the guard union with this new prison. Maybe protesters should form a lobby and influnce the governor and others with generous campaign contributions. The prison guard union does!...

More Indymedia-Genoa Social Forum raid detainees released. Horror stories, Media "half of the seventy people arrested were injured; many were lying on the floor with head injuries and covered in blood, and hardly moved anymore, they only moaned. Blood was everywhere. Police broke a young woman's jaw and smashed out her front teeth. Immigrants with a dark skin were mistreated in a particularly extreme manner. ... The police hit us with batons and kicked us with their boots. On my way to the toilet I saw a man being beaten up in another cell."...

Noam Chomsky: Prisons in America (transcript) "So, what we do with the superfluous people, the ones who don't contribute to wealth production for the rich -- and therefore aren't human really -- what you do with them is first of all try to coop them up in slums, which are sort of like concentration camps, and if that doesn't work you put them in jail. Which is the equivalent -- sort of a counterpart in a wealthy society to death squads in a poor society. So, they're [prisons] naturally zooming. And they are a shot in the arm."...

G8. Genoa police officer tells all. Brutality, torture. MANY LINKS. Raid, jails. From the police confession article:
"The main gate opened continuously - tells the police officer - out of the vans came youth while getting a beating. They made them stand against the wall. When they came in they smashed their heads against the wall. They peed on someone, others were beaten if they didn't sing fascist songs. A girl was vomiting blood and the chiefs of the prison police just watched. To the ladies they said that they were going to rape them with their sticks... well, it's a...
