Imprisonment is a racialzed response to increasing social problems- people of color become vagrants, terrorist, threats to the well being of the public and are subject to be detained
Davis 00
Angela Davis is a Professor in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California and is also a former political prisoner and long-time prison activist “Masked Racism: Reflections on the Prison Industrial Complex”, 2000.
Imprisonment has become the response.......be characterized as a 'prison industrial complex.

Prison became the new slavery of African Americans

Amber Denean Turner has masters in communications from University of Texas at Austin where she focused on transnatioal feminism. “Resignifying Resistance: Transnational Black Feminism and Performativity in the U.S. Prison Industrial Complex”, University of Austin, Texas. 2010.
Yet, the U.S. prison population was not always so massive......incarceration. It is with this understanding that the rhetorical constitution of the racialized and criminalized must be examined in order to be re-cast.

Mass incarceration shapes the social experience of Black people as criminals

As documented by Thorsten Sellin 11 976I, slavery and ......greatest for black males in the prime of life. "Mass imprisonment" indeed.

Racialized imprisonment of Black people is a product of colonialism—the so-called “emancipation” merely reinscribed the same racist exploitation of former slaves

Without question, then, one of the key forces.....shortage and facilitated a continuation of the ideology of white supremacy.

And imprisonment and enslavement are symptomatic of colonial epistemes - coloniality generates a permanent state of exception that is the root cause of the death ethics of war and underwrites a hellish existence where death, murder, war, rape, and racism are ordinary

Dussel, Quijano, and Wynter lead us to the understanding that....difference is the result of such naturalization and is legitimized through the idea of race

The modern US carceral system is the outgrowth of black criminality and produces violence towards economically exploitable black individuals—Prisons routinizes imprisonment and violent rape-experiences into the every-day life of American culture

For most privileged, professional people, the experience of confinement is a mere brush....unconsciously, the reality of incarceration that acts as a hidden foundation for the country.

And prospect of violence and rape in the Prison industrial complex is heightened for women of color
Shaylor ‘98
(Cassandra, “It’s like living in a black hole: Women of Color and Solitary Confinement in the Prison Industrial Complex”, Summer 1998)
Prisoners and advocates for prisoners see the increasing use of control.....They’re with us, watching us, the whole time. They are just tryin’ to break us down. n37

Only recognizing the violence of Indefinite Detainment not as a new phenomenon, but a re-organization of similar historical power-structures as part of the Prison Industrial Complex solves—we must investigate new continuities between the past and present in order to formulate successful resistance to contemporary violence

Yet we continue to pose questions as if we assume.....present historical situation cannot effectively be resisted.

And Temporality as the best strategy for black women to fight violent imprisonment -recognizing the continuities of slavery and carceral confinement is important for fighting the psychological violence of slavery

Because slavery returns to possess the present....our conscious thought. But for the demonic to be exorcised, you must first know that you are possessed.

Women of color feminism is a necessary strategy for challenging neoliberal economies of violence and domination

In the closing section of the essay “What of Our Past? What of Our History? What of Our Future?” Shakur seamlessly connects the past, present, and future in an attempt to develop the psychological force....The mark of its operation sometimes looks like swollen hands and scarred flesh.

Thus Jyleesa and I advocate the deconstruction of indefinite detention, as a manifestation of black criminality.

The authority to indefinitely detained draws upon the same assumptions of black criminality inherent in mass incarceration – only now they have been reappropiated to target the Muslim bodies in the War on Terror –
Daulatzia 12

Al-Amin was seen as part of a longer history of Black Islam....the country’s continuing imperial ambition throughout the globe.

Prisons mark non-white bodies as passive and inferior – this frame of reference reifies a politics of hate and racism against Muslims within public discourses

While following the faces of detainees and guards is important....helps to produce a reality of the GWoT, which is not only about terrorist identities and threats, but also about US military power and its response to these threats.

There is no reforming the prison system – there is only abolition – reforms only serve to reify black criminality

How do we dismantle white supremacy? In the “prison of slavery,” as Angela Y. Davis has put it...What remains of discretion in an era of “incentives” that trump parent–child unification? It is important to be suspicious

Our criticism is core and necessary to the topic- the war on terrorism is just an exportation of racial fears implicit with the American culture.

“Neoconservative Racism,” I argued that neoconservative thought embodies a psychological and theoretical connection between anti-black racism and the war on terror...... For racist thought and racial injustice, ‘success in circuit lies.’
