The headlines reported that more than 60 incarcerated men at Alexander Correctional Institution refused orders to leave the recreation yard, an incident characterized publicly as a protest that resulted in a lockdown.But Jack, who says he was on the recreation yard that day, gives a very different account.In this exclusive Inmate Tea with A&P interview, Jack claims there was no organized protest and that the men were never given the opportunity to return inside. He describes the altercation between an officer and one incarcerated person, being held outside for hours without an explanation, the arrival of the Prison Emergency Response Team (PERT) and what allegedly happened when the men were finally returned to their cells.Jack also shares disturbing allegations involving excessively tight zip ties, threats of force and the treatment of incarcerated people with disabilities, including a blind man and a wheelchair user.This is why Inmate Tea goes beyond the headlines. Official reports tell one part of the story. We also speak directly with the people living behind those walls and give them an opportunity to share what they personally witnessed.⚠️ Video Disclaimer:The content presented in this video is intended for educational, informational, and advocacy purposes only.
