Joining in a Coast to Coast tradition: anarchists, abolitionists, and other comrades in a merry band against prisons held a successful noise demo at the front door of the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre (“Wilkinson” or “Wilkie”) for prisoners inside. Police response was dodged, and hostages of the state inside were reminded that they are not forgotten.

Carceral institutions like prisons warehouse people, cutting them off from loved ones. Phone calls are expensive, mail is slow and subject to search, and applications to be added to someone’s visitor list can be denied without clear reasons. When incarcerated people feel as though the outside world has forgotten them, this is colonialism working as intended.

We must let those know inside that they are not forgotten: we can share our opposition to their world, admin, guards; the misery and exploitation that necessitates them. Because no one is free until we are all free. Inside as well as out, let’s revolt!
