Starting in late September, KPCC posed questions about the challenges the state, the prison workforce and the inmate population will face as state prisons undergo significant changes this year – rehab and education programs are getting cut, there are court orders to reduce the prison population and improve medical care. 

--> The "Omaha Two:" Victimized by COINTELPRO Injustice - by Stephen Lendman

After a two week April 1971 trial and four days of deliberation, an 11 white/one black member jury convicted Mondo we Langa (formerly David Rice) and Edward Poindexter for the bombing murder of police officer Larry Minard on August 17, 1970. Both men denied involvement, and ever since consistently maintained their innocence, insisting they were framed. Supporters agree, including Amnesty International that declared them political prisoners, and no wonder.

Congratulations and welcome home Jeff!

On November 17, Minneapolis-based activists Carrie Feldman and Scott
DeMuth refused to testify in front of a grand jury in Davenport, Iowa,
and were found to be in contempt of court. They were immediately
handcuffed and hauled off by U.S. Marshalls. According to District
Judge John Jarvey, who presided over the contempt hearings, both will
remain incarcerated until they agree to testify. The state can lock
them up for the duration of the grand jury–another 11 months.
