- W1120152457 abstract "BOOK REVIEW INSID E, PRISON AMERICAN STYLE, ed. Robert J. Minton Jr., Random House, New York 1971; BLACK VOICES FROM PRISON by Etheridge Knight, Pathfinder Press, New York (paperback) 1970. The hope is that, once these men have been able to tell their stories - stories that are often covered up or lied about by the administrators whose job it is to maintain the status quo - the status quo will change. Editor's Introduction, In- side, Prison American Style. The writings are the product of those who discover that falsehood and vio- lence are not subjective, accidental phe- nomena, but rather the objective and permanent dimension of the power struc- ture and the false alternatives it presents • . . the struggle for liberty for which the pages of this collection were written, their cost in suffering, would be in vain if we cannot hope that they will be read and pondered by all those who refuse to be accomplices of institutionalized vio- lence. Editor's Introduction, Roberto Giammanco, Black Voices From Prison. The local place to begin any investi- gation into the problems of California prisons is with our 'pigs are beautiful' Governor Reagan, radical reformer turned reactionary. For a real under- standing of the failure of prison policies, it is senseless to continue to study the criminal. All of those who can afford to be honest know that the real victim, that poor, uneducated disorganized man who finds himself a convicted criminal, is simply the end result of a long chain of corruption and mismanagement that starts with people like Reagan and his political appointees in Sacramento. George Jack- son, Soledad Brother, Bantam Books, New York 1970. While prison is unfit for human shel- ter and a cruel mockery of the human condition, it nonetheless provides an ideal atmosphere for revolutionary edu- cation. Nowhere in society are the con- tradictions of the Government's system of justice so glaring as they are in prison. In prison, oppression and brutality are not camoflaged by the subtle trappings of political dissent and social conces- sions. Even in the wretched Black Colo- nies of America, where oppression runs rampant, at least the oppressor makes an attempt to cover up his bloody trail. But in prison, the barbaric persecution by the oppressor is raw and naked . . . A. H., California Adjustment Center In- mate, in Maximum Security, Eve Pell, Editor, in press, scheduled for publica- tion January 1972, E. P. Dutton & Co. THE REVIEWER'S perspective derives from the experience of working, as friend and attorney, with prisoners in California's prisons, particularly in the maximum security lock-up sections,* since first meeting George Jackson at Soledad on February 9, 1970. That a progression of ideas emerges from the quotations set forth above seems to be a fact, and a fact haing i p ications as to the source of the political content of that progression. The two books under review are a good introduction to the world that be- came the subject of full-fledged analytical *Member California Bar; on legal staff of Prison Law Project, Oakland, California. *As most readers probably now know, the isolation cells, solitary confinement, e.g. what prisoners from time immemorial have called the hole, disciplinary and pro- tective custody sections of California prisons are housed in sections called The Adjustment Cntr. Originally conceiveed as segregated but Irealmen't-orienreed and well- staffed sections, the name ( AC ) is still retained for segregation units with little or no program, both short and long-term confinements, and abuses in terms of physical and psychological treatment which have recently been well-documented in the media and in legislative re- ports. See for example, California State Legislature, Black Caucus Report, Treatment of Prisoners at Cali- fornia Training Facility, Soledad, July 1970, available from State Senator Mervyn Dymally." @default.
