This is Operation Pull Up, more of a clandestine operation.
We had belly chains around our waist and we had handcuffs with bars in the middle.
As someone who majored in African-American studies, I can tell you that that is the closest I ever felt to slavery in my life.
Being shackled as if I was a slave.
It is unacceptable and unconscionable.
It's great to work your priors.
Once we got to the Sherbourne County Jail, we were strip searched.
We were placed in jail uniforms.
We were locked in cells side by side.
And I'm not even going to talk about what they tried to feed us that look like mystery meat.
That makes me sad for the people who are currently incarcerated and not even being fed decently for their survival.
I didn't want to even use the restroom in my cell.
Why?
Because there's a camera watching your every move.
This is in spite of going through x-ray machines and being strip searched where they know you have no contraband.
And yet still there's a camera in your room watching you with nothing else in there but a bed on cement and a metal toilet that doubles as a water fountain.
Here we are, black women.
Nonviolent.
Our only weapons are voices.
Being treated like Hannibal Lecter.
