Prisoners in the United States are forced to drink contaminated water, breathe poor quality air, and live on or near land full of hazardous materials. Kempis Songster, David N. Pellow, and Salvatore Engel-Di Mauro discuss the ways this environment affects prisoners and their families—and the ways that the fight for climate justice intersects with the fight to end mass incarceration.

  1. Moses people Aryon who is ETHIOPIANS who are the Ancient Covenant people. Nile river Mississippi God made . God said everything they say is a lie. Esau and Ishmael

  2. Great Britain and Africa planned destruction of America. Esau and Ishmael. God said they they Esau and Ishmael. They will have king's and their kings will worship satan and they will have synogog of satan. Nile river in africka made by pharole king. ETHIOPIANS is white

  3. They in the bible is Esau and Ishmael who mixed and vowed to keep Isaac's people slaves forever. Bondage coming to you by God .

  4. God handed the laws to Moses that said Ishmael is not worthy of Gods laws. Do not mix with them. Rude awakening coming from God. Bastards great Britain Esau and Ishmael black Americans Congo Africa Babylon Egypt

  5. Those not slave's will be slaves. Promise from God on Holy Mountain of God. Esau fled God's punishment and bowed to Egypt. Soon

  6. Esau Great Britain and Africa Ishmael no mercy Islam Babylon Congo Africa Egypt slave masters hands planned destruction of America long ago. It's coming to Esau and Ishmael. From hand of God . Esau great Britain has already rised serpent rider king of bottomless pit Obama. Now it's God's turn .Soon

  7. He misspeak when he stated this has given rise to the EJ movement. The EJ has been on the rise . We cannot talk EJ without talking about the anti-black racism in the EJ/Climate Change movement by Indians & so called people of color. Facts matter!

  8. All this identity/climate hysteria is a tool of the establishment to distract attention away from their move to turn us all into serfs.

  9. In 2002, I was incarcerated in Michigan. I was sent to Riverside Correctional in Ionia. The drinking water that came from the fountains was brown. Needless to say, not consumable whatsoever.
    I wrote letters to several reporters and not surprisingly…. I never received a response. Fortunately for me, shortly after, I was transferred to another facility.
    As of today, the facility has been mothballed. Not for toxic water, but for budget shortfalls.
    Prisoners are considered lesser human than those who believe they got what they deserved. I used to be one of those people who said….Don't do the crime IF you can't do the time.
    First hand experience changes a person's mindset real quick.
    Great conversation gentleman! Thank you for your work.

  10. 42nd like! Hemp Equals42inSimpleEnglishGematria and 42 exactafuckinly 42.0 As Jack Herer once said: "I'm not sure that hemp will save the planet… but I know it's the only thing that can."

  11. The guy who spent 30 years in prison did he kill or rape or both to some one? If so he needed to stay in a contaminated place because the victim or victims can't do anything. Remember that.
