Black Prison Movements/USA encapsulates various articles and essays, artist' presentations, as well as statistical and historical research by activists both inside prison and out, fundamentally displaying the escalating population and inherent problems of black and brown people inside the United States penal systems. This is the first contemporary collection of Black prison movement voices in the United States, covering a variety of subjects intrinsic to U.S. penal and criminal (in)justice. Topics ranging from women in prison, parole, behavior modification, human experimentation, Black and Puerto Rican political prisoners, as well as the prison (political economy) industrial complex are covered.Voices from inside prison walls include Sundiata Acoli, Adam Abdul Hakeem (formerly Larry Davis), featured artist ibn Kenyatta (who has to date refused parole) as well as former prison inmates; Rebecca Billips (who writes "Black Women on Death Row"), Dhoruba Bin Wahad (his message to the newly released Nelson Mandela), and Eddie Ellis (formerly Black Panther who now heads up Harlem's Community Justice Center)- who explains his Non-Traditional Approach to Criminal and Social Justice, Political prisoner, Dr. Mutulu Shakur, father of Tupac Shakur, collaborates on the topic of behavior modification behind prison walls. Mumia Abu-Jamal, now serving time on Philadelphia's death row, and whose fight for a new and fair trial as well as stay of execution has attracted international support, has contributed an essay titled "From the Realm of The Dead". In this article, Abu-Jamal quotes Evelyn Williams, the aunt of Assata Shakur (exiled in Cuba), from her book. Inadmissible Evidence, "I believe that allAfrican American prisoners are political prisoners whether or not they label themselves as such, because of the circumstances that got them into jail as well as the harshness of sentencing applied only to them".
