With 2.1 million incarcerated people, the United States has the largest prison population in the world. But America’s prison system is part of a larger social apparatus that predominantly targets, criminalizes, and polices poor people and people of color. As the monstrous reach of our carceral system extends further into our daily lives, so too have forms of resistance grown in communities around the country and beyond. At this moment in history, what creative possibilities exist for revolting against these institutionalized forms of capture, policing, and criminalization?
In 2021, TRNN Executive Producer and host of Rattling the Bars Eddie Conway joined a blockbuster panel of scholars and activists for the American Studies Association (ASA) to discuss these very questions. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, with permission from the ASA and the panel participants, we are publishing the video recording of this panel, which is entitled “Revolt Against the Carceral World” and is hosted by Professor Dylan Rodríguez.
Dylan Rodríguez (host) is Professor in the Department of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside. He was named to the inaugural class of Freedom Scholars in 2020 and is President of the American Studies Association (2020-2021). Rodríguez is a founding member of the Critical Ethnic Studies Association and Critical Resistance, a national carceral abolitionist organization, and he is the author of three books.

I really don't care what your pronouns are, your voice and body have indicated to me which pronouns to use. I doubt your audience needs a refresher course in 2nd grade grammar, so stop the BS please.

They say there are statistics and there are damn statistics. The real issue is the interpretation of those statistics. Having said that it is clear that the number of poor, colored, and minorities arrested clearly shows how violent and corrupt the poor, colored, and minorities in society are. Otherwise, they would not have been arrested in the first case.
Isn’t Kamala Harris guilty of these behaviors? I think I remember Tulsi Gabbard mentioning this in a debate long ago! What’s up with the pronouns, if I may ask? Maybe we should have a “None of the Above” box on ballots, Jesse Ventura’s idea.

PBS POV just televised an episode of privatizes prisons in Rhode Island and how that system impacts families, children when parents are incarcerated for nonviolent crime. Horrid trauma for children growing up in this culture.
Peace and blessings to you all. We are viewing this zoom from Halifax Virginia
