IT’S HISTORYNew York's Dangerous Attica Prison Situation ExplainedAttica Correctional Facility, located in Attica, New York, opened in 1931 as a maximum-security prison built to hold some of the state's most challenging inmates. Known for its high-security measures, Attica gained widespread attention after a major incident in 1971, when inmates took control of parts of the prison, calling for improved living conditions. After several days, officials regained control, but the event resulted in significant loss and led to nationwide discussions on prison conditions and reforms. Today, Attica remains a symbol of the challenges within the prison system and the importance of ongoing reform efforts.

Haymarket Books LiveAttica Means Fight Back (9-13-20)A discussion in commemoration of Attica Day about its continued significance and the movement demanding prisoner labor rights.
——————————————————————————
The forced labor of incarcerated people is a vestige of slavery still protected by the 13th Amendment today. On September 9th, 1971, nearly 1,300 men incarcerated at the Attica Correctional Facility led an insurrection against the prison — an institution undergirded by systemic oppression, racism, and violence. The Attica Liberation Faction Manifesto rooted the uprising in collective principled struggle: “In our peaceful efforts to assemble in dissent...we are in turn murdered, brutalized, and framed...because we seek the rights and privileges of all American People.”
The State used brutal and deadly force to silen...

The Attica Prison Uprising Part 1: The lead upWe're starting a series on the Prison Industrial Complex soon, but Alix bit off more than she can chew (again) so we're beginning this series with a single introduction story. The Attica Prison Uprising shows a lot of the nuances that we hope to cover during our next heavy political series from horrible criminal justice policies to horrible prison conditions. Today we're talking about the circumstances leading up to the Attica Prison Uprising, an outline of the prison, the prison conditions, and the political climate in 1971.

The Blotter Presents111: Happy Jail and Ghosts Of AtticaNetflix's recent documentary series, Happy Jail, looks at daily life and administration inside the Filipino detention center whose famous Dancing Inmates re-enacted the Thriller video so virally a decade or so ago. There are so many stories to choose from here, but Eve Batey and I agree that the production doesn't do well at organizing them, interrogating the issues in play, or giving us context for what we're seeing as it compares with life behind bars in the U.S.
2001's Ghosts Of Attica, recently re-issued to VOD, is much more straightforward and workmanlike -- and that's a...

The Unbearable Lightness of Being HungryBen Shewry – Attica Ben Shewry's Attica is ranked #32 in the World's 50 Best Restaurants list and it's Restaurant of the Year in the first national Good Food Guide – but according to his son Kobe, Attica is "not bad" for a restaurant that doesn't have a burger on the menu. Many years before Ben gained international acclaim for Attica's uniquely Australian dishes (from his inventive take on avocado on toast to a savoury pavlova), he was shaping margarine sculptures for hotel buffets and cooking New Zealand's biggest nachos for drunk students. While living in New Zealand, he met his wife Nat...

History Author ShowMalcolm Bell – The Attica Turkey ShootOctober 16, 2017 - This week, our time machine travels back to a date of infamy: September 9, 1971, when inmates seized control of Attica Correctional Facility in Western New York State. A four-day standoff resulted, ending when police and corrections officers stormed Attica, leaving 29 inmates and 10 guards dead and dying. In the immediate aftermath, newspapers and television reported the state-sanctioned version of events: The prisoners had murdered the hostages. The medical examiner debunked that narrative the next morning, stating that police bullets had killed those held captive. From that point on, New York officials from Governor Nelson Rockefeller on down kicked into high...
