For years, IDOC Watch has been building solidarity with prisoners and working to generate a mass-based struggle against the prison-industrial complex across the state, recognizing that prisons serve as warehouses to contain internal colonies, oppressed nations, and surplus labor forces. IDOC Watch understands mass incarceration is a form of genocide and class war that functions as a counter-insurgency apparatus to uphold white supremacy and capitalism. Prisons are not isolated establishments that will be abolished alone but a vital tool of both systems—ones that must be abolished wholesale.
