Slightly off-topic, but a massive US prison strike is currently taking place, to protest forced labor and inhumane conditions[0], and most of us probably haven't even heard about it.
This is very problematic, since many of us also know how unjust the US justice system is, especially with the drug war and all, and without public awareness the strikes will accomplish a lot less than they ought to.
So if it's not already in your news feeds, google "prison strike" or just start with the Intercept piece.
