Anti-jail weeks:actions in Paris

Paris- from November 2d to November 8th: demonstration and actions against prison and long sentences.

NOVEMBER 13rd: Action against the ‚humanist repression‘.

„They want to humanize the prisons! Let’s attack them!

On the night of November 13rd we visited two eulogist of the humanist repression. At first, and with the desire to adjust our sentence because we‘ve been bad deviant, we opted for community work: in this case, we chose to re-paint the front of the Publico library, of the Federation Anarchiste (145 Amelot street, 11st district). Here what one could read after our visit: “F.A collaborator”, “F.A nasty traitor” and “the F.A want more human prisons: disappear with them!”. Indeed, this supposedly anarchist organization diffused a flypaper( during the anti-jail demonstration on November 8th) that was not anarchist, and in which we could read alternative propositions for the prison-wall for the “deviants” ( psychiatry, work for the community, rehabilitation by work and other horrors). As they like working, we leave it to them to clean. So they know there will be no prescription and no forgetting.

Then, we visited the Red-Cross ( 41 Lucien Sampaix street, 10 district) that also preaches for a humanization of the prisons, by means of torture, from the temporary zone of Roissy airport to the prisons for strangers in Italy ( not to mention the hundreds camps it manages all over the world). We wrote on it “ Red-Cross collaborator” and “Fire to the detention centers”.
These two actions take place in the fight against all imprisonments, that could not be reduced to a symbolic week.

We swear, we‘ll do our sentences,

Some offensive deviants.“

NOVEMBER 8th: companies linked to prison attacked.
“On the night of November 8th, several companies linked to prison were attacked:
- Eiffage (one of the biggest companies that builds towns as it builds prisons). On Watt street (13rd district), two vehicles of the building site were sabotaged with sugar in their tanks. A tag appeared: “Eiffage builds prisons to imprison the poor. Let’s sabotage Eiffage.”
- The Criminology Institute of the Law School, Cujas street (6th district): tags “Fire to the prisons”, “So die the State and its law”.
- The APIJ (Public agency for the Law Property; part of the Minister of Justice responsible to call for tenders), on Château-des-Rentiers street (13rd district). A tag: “here the State plans the construction of new prisons. Let’s attack it(them)”.
-IOSIS (engineering cabinet of construction and renovation of prisons) on Dolores Ibarruri street (Montreuil, 93). A tag: “IOSIS works on imprisonment. Liberty for all!”
- Orange company shop ( that grows rich on the prisoners work), Jeanne d‘Arc place (13rd district) had its 8 windows broken, followed by a tak “prisoners exploiter”.
These actions take part in the anti-jail week against the long sentences and all the imprisonments. Down with all the prisons and those who benefit from it. Let’s continue to harass them, each person on his own way, beyond this agitation week, it’s easy and it could cost them a lot…”

NOVEMBER 4th : High school attacked.
In the night of November 4th, the Theophile Gauthier high-shcool(49 charenton street, 12 district) is attacked. This action takes place in the anti-jail week against long sentences.
This ‚vocational‘ high-school[1] specialized in the formation of prison guards and cops. Doors has been blocked with chains. The front has been covered of posters et several tags: “watch out!here are formed future cops” “the guard is watching you”, “devaste your cage” “rather poor and dissenter than cops or guards”…Mind you these schools are found in all the academies, and if we consider how quickly the marks of our visit were erased, it’s clear they don‘t want any advertising around their sinister activites. While some minors rot in jail, other learn to become cops or guards.

[1] high school that doesn‘t follow the ‚general‘ course; it is supposed to give you a job when going out of it.
