Fighting for animal liberation and an end to speciesism

Q: For the last 6 months of your 3 year incarceration, you were held in a “Communication Management Unit” (CMU); could you explain what this “prison inside a prison” was like, and why you were sent there?

 

 

 

Andrew Stepanian:

 

 

The CMU is designed to totally control any comunication you may have with the outside world. The inmates in the CMU were almost all political cases, 70% of the inmates were Muslim or Arab nationals with political cases. No-one in the CMU had "high security" classifications, instead they were inmates that were designated to be "minimum" or "low" security inmates.  But, the CMU was within a maximum security compound.

 

The idea was to keep us contained and put a lid on our voices, deny the press access to us (denying interview requests, etc.) and severing us from our families and support structures. I believe I was transferred to the CMU, in part, because they needed to increase their non-Muslim demographic because of the discrimination lawsuit they expected to occur as fallout. Three lawsuits against the CMU & Obama Administration are now live in court.
