Fifty years ago today, hundreds of people incarcerated at the Attica Correctional Facility in New York took control of the prison, issuing a set of demands for freedom, wages, education access, medical care, and more.
After 4 days, the National Guard retook the prison by force, leading to the deaths of at least 43 people. With such a tragic outcome, Attica became a national symbol both of prisoners’ organizing for liberation and the repression of law enforcement, prison guards, and the state.
In their declaration, the incarcerated people of Attica made demands that bear a chilling resemblance to what we are still calling for today. Carceral spaces have never been safe, and the impact the system makes on poor communities and Black and Brown people is immeasurable.
