OUR COMMON GROUND with Janice Graham and Co-Host ALFO of The ALFO SHOW The Attica Prison Rebellion of 1971" Audio documentary and discussion. The Attica Rebellion was more than a prison insurrection. It was a window into the time and culture that produced it. It offers activists, scholars and non-scholars alike an opportunity to examine closely a facet of our society that most of us rarely see or experience yet which is increasingly viewed by other nations and cultures as a fixture of American life. We lock away millions of people every decade in penal institutions; occasionally, as in the case of Attica, their inmates rebel and become socially and politically visible. When they become visible, so do our prisons and our criminal justice system. ALSO . . .
