This is the THIRD such death in <a year — in a prison system that has routinely flouted state fire safety standards for over a decade. THREAD:

Arizona Department of Corrections Director David Shinn just told the state legislature we can’t shut down private prisons because too many communities rely on the cheap labor they provide and they would “collapse” without it https://t.co/p6VNS3mIVc

The prison industrial complex is modern day slavery. Arresting Black and brown people, holding them in jail before trial/conviction, subjecting them to depraved inhumane conditions while making them do labor for 9 cents an hour.
