Georgia Prisoners Use Smuggled Cell Phones to Organize Statewide Protest

The concern over allowing prison inmates the exercise of cell phone is ordinarily that they ’ll call in slaying Job on the outside or fashion an old StarTAC into a shank . But prisons across Georgia engage black phones for civil disobedience .

While perhaps not as electrifying as your distinctive prison revolt , the inmates should be applaud ( as much as one can spat prison house inmates ) for their unbloody organization as a means towards improved livelihood conditions and compensation for their labor . I mean , maybe the prevention is just congeal humbled , but translate thing like “ We have to come together and set aside all differences , whites , black , those of us that are affiliated in mob , ” as one organizer told the New York Times , is jolly heartwarming ! By prison - heartwarming standard .

In the meantime , leaders in seven Georgian prisons are urge their follower to discontinue all obligatory labor and chores until their demand are met — debate that a modest source of income and educational opportunity while locked up will prevent repeat offence in the future .
