CCR's Rachel Meeropol, joined in conversation by Reem Jayyousi, daughter of a former CMU prisoner and member of National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms (NCPCF), will discuss the Communications Management Units (CMUs), prison units designed to isolate and segregate certain prisoners in the federal prison system from the rest of the BOP population. This webinar will be moderated by Jeremy Varon, professor of history at the New School and Witness Against Torture organizer.

This webinar is part of Witness Against Torture’s campaign #foreverhumanbeings – A Campaign to Close Guantánamo, which launched last Friday, the first day of Ramadan. Over 41 days, the campaign will bring awareness to each remaining prisoner, coordinate public action aimed at closing Guantánamo, and draw links between Guantánamo, institutionalized Islamophobia, all forms of racism, and abuses in the US criminal justice and prison systems.
