FAM beleives ADOC is creating a powder keg at Holman to justify their prison expansion. By removing long timers and leaders to segregation and other prisons, they foster instability and then attempt to use that instability and violence to justify locking more people down. But we know the solution to over crowding isn’t more prisons, it’s fewer prisoners. We know the solution to violence inside prisons isn’t more torture, its more respect and humane treatment. We know that the violence inside prisons starts with state violence and the megaprison plan only increases that violence. Increasing state violence will only add to the violence and the prison system IS violence, massive, institutionalized routine ultraviolence enacted upon targeted communities.

Don’t let ADOC get away with this expansion project. Don’t let their manipulative and dishonest narrative-making succeed. Stand with FAM against state terror. Read their words below.

On behalf of the Men at HOLMAN CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, we allege that Comm. Jeff Dunn, Ass. Comm. Grant Culliver, Ass. Comm. Sheryl Price and Warden Terry Raybon have INTENTIONALLY AND DELIBERATELY created the ” HOLMAN PROJECT” in order to secure funding for Governor Robert Bentley’s Prison Transiton Bill (4 Mega Prisons).

More specifically, for the past several months a “swap out” transfer program has been implemented, in which older, mature and responsible influential and respected prisoners have been sent away from Holman, only to be replaced with a younger, wilder and misguided youth. While simultaneously removing Officers from the Dormitories.
