In a chilling escalation of the ongoing stripping of human rights of people who are incarcerated, the Missouri Department of Corrections announced that, effective September 25, people in Missouri facilities will be barred from receiving books and other publications from their loved ones.
This audacious move is yet another strategy to silence, isolate, and inflict harm against marginalized communities even further, under the guise of "reducing contraband."
The Department, revealing its intention in a cold email newsletter, declared that prisoners must finance their own intellectual freedom by purchasing approved books, magazines, newspapers, and even correspondence courses.
The message is clear: If you're imprisoned, your lifeline to the outside world, your intellectual growth, and your mental sanctuary are now commodities. You pay to read; you pay to think; you pay to exist.
Even more disturbing is the censorship element: "Reading materials must meet censorship guidelines and must not exceed $100 in value, threaten the safety and security of the institution, or exceed property limits."
The DOC has essentially said, "We control not only your body but also your thoughts.”

"YOU BROUGHT A HIGH COP TO MY HOUSE?": Black Family to Press Charges Against Kansas Cop Who Appears High Out His Mind
THE BACKGROUND 📝
Following a family dispute regarding his son, two Wyandotte County, Kansas City Kansas Police officers were summoned to Charles Guy’s home.
“I had my son for a couple of hours,” Charles told The Defender. “We came back home and those cops had been inside of my house.”
“That cop admitted on camera that they had already gone into my home,” Charles continued. “I kept trying to get the cop’s name and information. That’s when I started noticing he was high out of his mind. I have more videos too. I video taped the sergeant too. When he came up I videoed him.”
“I told the sergeant that I was scared of the cop being there because he was intoxicated with a deadly weapon. The sergeant kept defending his officer. I said come on he don’t look high to you? I think the only reason they were denying it is because they saw I had my camera. Every time I asked him and said man are you on drugs or high, they would never deny it, he was just hella argumentative.”
“I mean come on, he’s clearly just sitting there high as a kite. His teeth were grinding his eyes were going all over the place. His foot was fucking twitching it was looking like a jackrabbit, he would close his eyes and go to sleep leaning against the wall.”
"Now just every other day, I’ll see like two cop cars, now they just patrolling sitting in front of my house all the time. I’m already paranoid I know what they do to our people, I’d rather stand up to em then let em kill me."

The Metro Organization for Racial & Economic Equity told The Defender in a statement:
“Having met with so many community members who have been violated by this department, we are not surprised… reality is, no matter what is happening with the officer in this video, the fact that his fellow officer is seemingly disregarding this highly unusual behavior points to the system we know and have come to believe needs Department of Justice scrutiny” #KansasCity #KansasCityPolice #Kansas
