Rustbelt Abolition Radio: Abolishing Electronic Incarceration

Prison abolitionist podcast and radio show Rustbelt Abolition Radio returns with a brand new episode on electronic ankle shackles.

Myaisha Hayes and James Kilgore have launched a new campaign with the Center for Media Justice to challenge the widening use of electronic ankle shackles amid the momentum of “prison reform.”

#ChallengingEcarceration is informed by James’ experiences with electronic monitoring after he was released from prison for his activities with the Symbionese Liberation Army. Together, they argue that electronic incarceration is not an alternative to imprisonment, but a further expansion of the police state into our everyday lives.
