Surveillance lessens

from the Casey Support Committee
Finally! As you may have seen elsewhere, Casey is finally out of the holdover unit at FCI Mendota and is in the transfer pipeline to their designated facility.
At 4 am on Tuesday, 2/11, Casey was woken up, told to pack it up, and then put on the bus before the sun rose. They were transported from Mendota to the SF Federal Bldg and then to the county jail in downtown SF. Casey reported that coming over the hills that morning into the Bay as the sun rose, they felt blessed. Casey, sitting in a van still cuffed up, was able to see the horizon, able to see the sun’s light grow and spread over the city and the Bay.
While at the SF jail, Casey was able to walk around the unit freely, talk to others, and enjoy phone access with their friends and loved ones in a way not possible for months in that shithole holdover unit. Casey and a member of our committee were able to have a loving, hour long conversation that didn’t feel like a rushed whisper through a keyhole. ❤️
Casey didn’t spend long in SF before they were put on a plane. On Friday, Casey showed up on the BOP inmate locator at FCI Allenwood – Medium, one facility of three in a prison complex located in northern Pennsylvania.
A few notes about Casey’s current placement:
More on the toll of “holdover life”
Casey spent over 4 months in holdover at Mendota. Holdover – the limbo unit for people being received, moved, etc. – is worse than solitary in many respects. You have no property, no programs, limited access to anything but your tiny cell, and no definite date for getting out. Casey had only minimal access to medical care for their diabetes: insulin only dispensed once per day, insufficient blood sugar checks, mediocre diet, and maximum stress and uncertainty. The poor care had started to permanently damage Casey’s eyesight. If they were to continue much longer in holdover, Casey was anticipating needing a new prescription in order to read or see adequately.
Also, every other person that passed through holdover at Mendota only spent a few weeks there. A month in and Casey became in effect the “OG” of the unit, the prisoner housed there the longest, orienting others to the layout and program of the place. Yet again, to those who been locked up or who have years doing prisoner support, the question at some point becomes “Is this bullshit targeted or is it just random, just industrialized abandonment and they don’t give a shit about anybody?”
Well, Casey is a political prisoner. And while everybody inside gets a number and everybody gets put in the uniform, there is nonetheless a wild card or two in the deck for politicals. Consequences can be heavier. And that’s another thing for people on the outside to remember and take to heart regarding risks, expectations, and communications with our loved ones inside.
Legal update
Casey has been working on a habeas petition with another legal team in order to appeal their conviction and sentencing. The deadline for this filing will be 12 months from their sentencing (Sept. 23, 2026) so we will report more on this in the coming months as it develops.

We’ll start with a short presentation looking at the role of digital technology as a critical part of the infrastructure of oppression and state violence that we’re seeing today, and then shift to discussion about how to start divesting (both individually and collectively) from our reliance on things like smart phones and social media and take care of one another’s needs in other ways.

We sabotaged all four traffic cameras at a major intersection in Philadelphia. We opened the panels at the bases of the camera’s poles and cut sections of the wires. We also painted over the fronts of the cameras to make it clear to passersby that the cameras were broken. We carried out this sabotage as part of the ongoing game of camover and to contribute to the anti-technology and anti-Flock momentum.

Political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal is being denied essential medical care
As of February 2026, Mumia has not received treatment for his diabetic retinopathy or agressive glaucoma. His vision has been restored to a point after having a procedure done, but his vision is still at risk without further treating the underlying condition. He needs an opthamologist or he risks going blind!

“Hello, my name is _____ and I am calling to request that Mumia Abu-Jamal #8335 needs to be seen and treated by specialists, who treat diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. He also needs to be examined for new glasses, a heart healthy diet, filtered water, and regular exercise, indoors and out.”
“If they build it, they will fill it. “
Homeland Security seeks to purchase 23 massive warehouses to expand imprisonment capacity by an additional 76,000 beds even as it already holds an estimated 73,000 people, the highest ever, in conditions so abysmal that 23 people have died in custody since Trump retook office. Personal stories recount mass violations of human rights and cellphone videos shows ghastly conditions inside. Those detained during DHS’s “Operation Midway Blitz” in Chicago are disapeared into a vast byzantine web of detainment facilities designed to prevent family and support from making contact, wearing down people to surrender due process rights and sign deportation agreements.
Bloomgerg reports these locations and bed capacities that ICE seeks to acquire: Tremont, Pennsylvania- 7,500. Roxbury, New Jersey-1,500. Hamburg, Pennsylvania-1,500.
Wired reports that DHS also secretly leased over 150 additional locations for ICE offices; many communities were caught off guard and are now organizing to stop the concentration camps from being opened.
