In the earlier hours of wednesday morning the Nottingham Probation Services Office on Derby Road was attacked. Four of it's vehicles had their paint stripped, tiers slashed and locks glued shut. All the doors to the building were also glued.

This was just a gesture, a middle finger flicked up at the prison system. To that system we say Fuck your attempts to control our lives, fuck you for imprisoning our comrades, and fuck your surviellence because we will not be stopped from having these moments. These moments where the industrial prison complex, the culture of domination and capitalism can not stop us from responding with anger and disgust at the world that has been created.

This action is done in solidarity with all prisoners. We do not differentiate between those who have been imprisoned for their political beliefs and those who are imprisoned because they were not born into a postion of wealth and power. This action was for those who have spent their lives having their actions criminalized by the elite, and it is for those anarchist prisoners around the world who aim to destroy the elite.

Only a small proportion of rapes ever get solved. The tiny minority who get jailed probably aren't really jailed for being rapists, they're jailed for being poor/black/etc, because the rich rapists are getting away with it. Anyway, someone come up with a percentage of rapists etc compared to people in jail for petty theft, nonpayment of court fines and all the rest? I bet it's less than 1%. And even rapists have human rights, which are violated in prison. Someone is mistreated, they resist -> solidarity.

PS: better get off the office computer, pig. Your donut's getting cold. Nice try trolling though :)

I dont agree with the method but I know its hard not to lash out when you have been repressed+ infiltrated by the police acting on vpolitical orders on behalf of certain CEO's who seem to get away with murder.
In my experience anarchists realise some people need detaining in the community or more secure medical facilities, but that most thefts are due to poverty& mental illness is increased by poverty then spirals the situ.
Nottm probation now put people with a prefered+ often relaxed voluntary group-charity where their forced to attend,but to not work , especially for most political crimes.The false economy makes it unjust for many, there are people within the POA& probation service who struggle for human rights including economic equality.
There are far worse people-groups, at the same time probation are by extension complicit with many acts of injustice helping manage a system with a seriously out of date+ corrupted operating software.

Oh dear

First off, I'm not a cop, but you carry on thinking I am if it makes you happy.

Believe it or not, I'm not actually trying to 'troll' (if that's the right expression). I'm just trying to understand what appear to be some pretty ill thought out principle.

Nobody's denying that there's people in jail who shouldn't be. Equally though, there's a lot of evil fuckers in there who certainly should be. If they're mistreated, after what they've done, fuck them.

To show solidarity with people who're wrongly imprisoned, or for whom a prison sentence is far in excess of their 'crime' is admirable. To support, tacitly or otherwise, those who have comitted crimes of violence or power against innocents, ain't.

Out of interest, and although it's not a crime of violence, are you in solidarity with this particular prisoner?

Oh, and I prefer pies to donuts.
