Chaos Computer Club - archive feedKeynote: RustBelt: Securing the Foundations of the Rust Programming Language (bobkonf2022)The Rust systems programming language promises to
overcome the seemingly fundamental tradeoff in language design
between high-level safety guarantees and low-level control
over resource management. Unfortunately, none of Rust’s safety
claims have been formally proven, and there is good reason to
question whether they actually hold. Specifically, Rust
employs a strong, ownership-based type system, but then
extends the expressive power of this core type system through
libraries that internally use unsafe features.
In this talk, I will present RustBelt, the first formal (and
machine-checked) safety proof for a language representing a realistic
subset of Rust. Our proof is extensible in...2022-03-111h 00

Bruce X has been warning us of this tragedy for weeks now. Last time we spoke with him, he refused to go back to his cell because his bunkmate was sick. He’s asthmatic. As a result, he was put in solitary confinement. A correctional officer at Macomb told him, ”I don’t give a damn if you live or die.” His unit is now the epicenter of the outbreak inside Macomb prison. After much insistence, he was finally tested last week and was put...2020-04-0800 minRustbelt Abolition RadioUpdates about the dire situation inside Macomb prison in MichiganAs of today (3/27/2020), there are 24 confirmed cases of Cov-19 inside Michigan prisons. Two weeks ago, we spoke with Bruce “X” Parker about the situation inside Macomb prison and he warned us about what would happen if no action was taken. The Michigan Department of Corrections (MDOC)- even though they had placed multiple facilities on quarantine- seemed to play down the threat of the pandemic. Today, we hear once again from Bruce X Parker, a 35 year old ashmatic, who is facing an increasingly desperate situation inside Macomb prison. Just north of Detroit, Macomb prison is located in the midst of the...2020-03-2700 minRustbelt Abolition RadioWhy are so many Michigan prisoners on quarantine?Prisoners in several Michigan prisons are currently on quarantine — being subjected to the absolute and arbitrary sovereign will of the MDOC with little to no possibility of redress.

Rustbelt Abolition RadioPrison Labor and Industrial PenologyCharlie Bright speaks about the re-articulations of carceral narratives: from the era of Fordism through discourses on modernization and the desperate rehabilitation of the rehabilitative model. Bright discusses how a century’s worth of constant re-negotiations of the coherence of departments of correction has been informed by struggles within prisons and the populations they seek to control, and some of the reasons why industrial penology was overcome by riots and may be turning to technologies of e-carceration.2019-06-2600 min

Rustbelt Abolition RadioPill or Punishment: Involuntary Medication at a Michigan's Women's PrisonOn January 2019, more than two thousand women confined at Michigan’s only women’s prison were put in quarantine. The quarantine comes in the wake of a possible scabies outbreak at the facility -- which has a long history of abuse and multiple cases of medical neglect. While many of the women held captive there displayed no symptoms, and pointed out other health hazards, such as black mold and infested showers, all of those who refused the state’s systemic administration of medical treatment were put in solitary confinement. In this episode, we speak with Sara and Tracy -- two poets...2019-03-2700 min

For more than 24 years, the Zapatistas have inspired countless struggles across the globe to build “a world in which many worlds fit.” While the Zapatistas are not explicitly penal abolitionists, we reflect on how the Zapatista construction of autonomy may help us re-imagine the challenges and possibilities we face as Abolitionists.2018-02-1400 min
Rustbelt Abolition RadioCarceral Ableism and Disability JusticeIn this episode: Carceral Ableism and Disability Justice, we explore the ways in which the framework of “carceral ableism” redraws our map of racial capitalism’s archipelago of confinement, and how the liberatory praxis of disability justice works to extend and deepen the abolitionist horizon.

Placed on forced leave by Drexel, he is among a growing number of academics subjected to retaliation for their critiques of white supremacy and openly fascist organizing.
