In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Juanes, an organizer with Atlanta's Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, to talk about the uprising at Ware State Prison in Georgia, how the natural aversion to contracting COVID-19 pressures many defendants to plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit, and how widespread abuses by prison authorities, state neglect of the incarcerated amid the pandemic, and the broader movement against police terror created the "perfect storm" for the rebellion.
