www.prisoncensorship.info is a media institution run by the Maoist Internationalist Ministry of Prisons. Here we collect and publicize reports of conditions behind the bars in U.$. prisons. Information about these incidents rarely makes it out of the prison, and when it does it is extremely rare that the reports are taken seriously and published. This historical record is important for documenting patterns of abuse, and also for informing people on the streets about what goes on behind the bars.

We hope this information will inspire people to take action and join the fight against the criminal injustice system. While we may not be able to immediately impact this particular instance of abuse, we can work to fundamentally change the system that permits and perpetuates it. The criminal injustice system is intimately tied up with imperialism, and serves as a tool of social control on the homeland, particularly targeting oppressed nations.

80 Beeps a Day Means No Sleep in NC RHU

I’m a prisoner serving time in Rivers Correctional Institution(RCI), which is a GEO, Inc. prison. It’s supposed to be low, but looks like a level five penitentiary.

I’m writing to inform my comrades in Pelican Bay that us comrades on this side of the country in North Carolina RCI are suffering from the same torture tactics in the Restricted Housing Unit(RHU). Yeah, that’s the new name of the SHU in here. The difference between our torture tactics is the RHU staff walks by the prisoner cells to press the button on the cell doors every 15 to 20 minutes, 24/7, so 80 times a day.
