The MIM now consists of many independent cells, many of which have their own indendendent organs both online and off. MIM(Prisons) serves these documents as a service to and reference for the anti-imperialist movement worldwide.
Maoist Internationalist Movement

Yes, In My Backyard
Directed by Tracy Huling
Galloping Girls Productions, Inc.
1998

This film is a valuable resource for anti-prisons activism
because it describes the extent to which prisons have become
an asset to the u.$. economy. The film's strength is in
showing the extent to which the prisons industry encourages
its employees, their dependents, and players in regional 
economies to think of prisons only as an economic boon. 
People whose families bills have always been paid by the 
prisons have no incentive to question the rehabilitative 
value of the prisons, or to ask if increased imprisonment 
has any effect at all on the crime rate for which it is 
supposed to answer.
