Mumia Abu Jamal is out of Solitary and into General prison population...though he should not be in prison in the first place. From Judy Ritter, one of Mumia's attys: I have just confirmed that Mumia is now in general population at SCI Mahonoy. This is a very important moment for him, his family and all of his supporters. We are all grateful for the roles played by so many in getting him off death row after so very long.

AUDIO REPORT | TRANSCRIPTION This report brought to you by the Human Rights Coalition: Fighting for the Rights and Lives of Prisoners. HRC is a group of current and former prisoners, family members, and supporters, whose ultimate goal is to abolish prisons.  The News from Inside SCI Somerset punishes solitary confinement prisoner for hunger strike protest: DeWayne Housley reports that he was threatened and punished by prison authorities at SCI Somerset for his seven-day hunger strike last month.

America's global gulag America's Secret Prisons - by Stephen Lendman On January 28 in TomDispatch.com, Anand Gopal headlined, "Night Raids, Hidden Detention Centers, the 'Black Jail,' and the Dogs of War in Afghanistan," recounting unreported US media stories about killings, abductions, detentions, interrogations, and torture in "a series of prisons on US military bases around the country." Bagram prison, for example, is "a facility with a notorious reputation for abusive behavior," including brutalizing torture and cold-blooded murder. Even worse is the "Black Jail," a facility consisting of individual windowless concrete cells with bright 24-hour lighting, described by one former detainee as "the most dangerous and fearful place" in which prisoners endure appalling treatment.
