A POWERFUL MOMENT. Activists and organizers (shout out to @nyjusticeleague) and a few politicians who actually gave a damn made this happen. This is the moment the lights & electricity just came back on at the jail in Brooklyn. The heat is still being restored. Visitation and phone calls are getting back to normal. But this is progress.

We Need Resourses! We will be here Until All of These Things Are Addressed and Restored! Reposted from @tamikadmallory – TAG EVERYONE and tell them we need an RV tonight for emergency warming and administrative coordination while we #occupyforhumanity #untilthereisheat… Incarcerated folks are living with limited heat, no power, irregular food schedules, no access to medical/mental health care, proper hygiene and the list goes on. It’s totally unacceptable!#GangstaButWokeAsFuck

According to reports, the federal Brooklyn jail had not had heat since last weekend due to a power outage.

The New York Times reports that several federal public defenders and leaders of the union representing the jail’s corrections officers told the publication of the jail’s current conditions. The Metropolitan Detention Center in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, houses more than 1,600 inmates. Sources told the times the inmates had been stuck in freezing cells for days now. “They just stay huddled up in the bed,” June Bencebi, case manager at the jail, told the Times. (The Hill)
