A wall, a fence, guard towers, surveillance cameras, concrete boxes and steel cages aimed at keeping the accused and \u201cguilty\u201d separate from the rest of society, concepts of rehabilitation and repentance constructed from ideologies of States in order to hold onto and secure their power, to freeze territories with fixed national identities and to punish whatever falls outside of their notions of legality, progress, outside of their morality and capitalist value. The thing is, once we stand outside the walls of the prison we realize that it is a touchable construct. It is a wall, it is concrete, it is material. Those who keep it functioning are living beings\u2026\u00a0 Yes, prisons isolate us, but they isolate us as much as we let them, as soon as we accept them. The walls become fixed and permanent to those of us on the outside as soon as we forget and accept the separation they impose. Those on the inside of the boxes can\u2019t forget, as it is everyday they are confronted with the harsh reality of life on the inside. As long as states exist, there will be prisons, and we will find ourselves within their walls.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is in the carrying forth of memory that we continue the struggle and life of comrades who have died before us, we carry the ideas and actions of those separated by cages and concrete, creating continuity and connection in the endless acts of resistance that make up a life in search of freedom.
