Prison Bars Won’t Stifle These Hearts

Prison Bars Won’t Stifle These Hearts

This week, we’re presenting three segments, all related in some way to prison. We hear an essay by an anarchist prisoner in Chile about a prison massacre on it’s 10th anniversary, the voice of David Easley reporting from within a covid outbreak in an Ohio prison, and the voice of someone who’s protest against nuclear weapons was leading her to incarceration.

David Easley on Outbreak at Toledo CI

First up, Comrade David Easley at Toledo Correctional Institution in Ohio talks about the covid-19 outbreak there, which he is still recovering from, that has knocked out one in five guards and forced the state to bring in National Guard to act as screws at the prison. The administration hasn’t been proactively testing prisoners and so doesn’t have data on infections besides symptomatic cases. When prisoners have tested positive, the only treatments they get are non-asprin Tylenol and cough drops, unless their health degrades to the point of getting onto a ventilator.

David also talks about his inside/outside abolitionist study group he’s been working with over instagram. Comrade Easley is seeking outside supporters to help run the Abolition Study Group instagram and also his personal social media so he can report to the outside world on the conditions in Toledo CI. He is also seeking lawyers in Ohio that can help sue the ODRC on behalf of prisoners for the negligence and harm that has led to so much sickness and death, inside and outside of the barbed wire. You can reach him via mail at:

David Easley
A306400
Toledo Correctional Institution
2001 East Central Avenue
Toledo, OH 43608

and you can email him by creating an account on jpay.com and reaching out to him by his facility and number, David Easley A306400 at Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections.

Martha Hennessy of Kings Bay Plowshares 7

Next up, Tali Moon from the occupied land in the PNW of the so-called US shares with us a conversation of Martha Hennessy of the Kings Bay Plowshares 7, 7 white, Catholic anti-militarism activists who just went to prison for trespassing and symbolic damage to Trident nuclear missiles at a military base in Georgia. Hennessy, aged 62, is an anarchist and the grandaughter of the founder of the Catholic Worker movement, Dorothy Day. You can find out more about the Martha and others from her case at KingsBayPlowshares7.Org. You can write to Martha at:

Martha Hennessy #22560-021
FCI Danbury Rt. 37
Danbury, CT 06811

Mónica Caballero on San Miguel Prison Massacre

Finally, you’ll hear a segment from the December episode of Bad News: Angry Voices from Around The World from the A-Radio Network, magnificently produced this month by Crna Luknja in Ljublana, Slovenia. The Anarchist Assembly of Valparaiso (so-called Chile) presents a text about the 10 year anniversary of the massacre of 81 prisoners at the San Miguel Prison in Santiago de Chile written by anarchist prisoner Mónica Caballero. This was but a small portion of the audio in this months’ episode.

The Radio Active Kids 2020 #YearRoundBreakdown!

by

So! The #YearRoundBreakdown has gotten too large to be broadcast on the Radio Active Kids radio show, so it’s now moved to to the Asheville FM Spotify account! Check it out here! The playlist is about 18 hours (!) long, so just jump in at a random spot & see what you think! Honestly, it’s so huge that it might be best to skip around randomly and explore.

A few notes on methodology:

I included songs from new releases that were released and/or I received and played on Radio Active Kids from November 1, 2019 to November 14, 2020. There are a bunch of other releases from 2020 that are NOT included in the playlist, because I hadn’t gotten around to playing them yet by November 14.

Many artists released multiple releases during the year. Because of space/time/life limitations, I included a maximum of TWO releases from every artist, even though some artists had more than 10 separate releases! Most of the releases can be found on Spotify.

I almost certainly missed stuff. WHATEVER!

Here are all the other releases that I played on Radio Active Kids that I didn’t include on the #YearRoundBreakdown Spotify playlist!

These releases are NOT on Spotify. They’re mostly all on Bandcamp! I’ve marked the ones that aren’t publicly available with a ?. Please email me at [email protected] if you can’t find any of them! I don’t have time right now to go through & link to all of them. ?
