A Tribute to Solidarity: My Oasis
From: Colonial Systems of Control
$0.60
Prisoners are rejected people, abandoned by society and ignored by the world as a whole. Social discomfort with the unknown leaves those ” tagged” as prisoners to become the representation of deadly character descriptions, meant for beasts. As a prisoner in Nigeria I feel enslaved by events and life circumstances so unfavourable that humiliation and dejection are evident enough to form sweat on squeezed faces like those of the Caihdihh Ancestral Shrines.
