The pandemic is spreading quickly among people in prisons and other locked institutions. That means many people with disabilities are massed together directly in the path of Covid-19. Armanda Shackleford and Sarah Wild join Eddie Ytuarte to discuss their effort to #FreeThemAll in Chicago and beyond. Many incarcerated Chicago Police Department torture survivors sit behind bars as the virus rages, and one of them is a disabled man named Gerald Reed.  We’ll learn more about Gerald Reed and the work of folks on the front lines of prison abolition and disability justice.  Amanda Shackleford is Gerald Reed’s mother. Sarah Wild is the lead activist with Chicago Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, which has been actively demanding the release of Gerald Reed and the depopulation of the Cook County Jail.

Free Gerald Reed, Free Them All – Pushing Limits – August 14, 2020

Gerald Reed was tortured by police into confessing to a crime he says he didn’t commit. He’s spent the last 29 years in prison, serving a life sentence. We explore how decades of corruption in Chicago’s criminal justice system led to this present moment.

The Case of Gerald Reed: Chicago’s History of Police Torture

Frank Chapman

Armanda Shackleford

Please join us as we discuss the miscarriage of justice and cruelty of the American judicial system. Frank Chapman &amp; Armanda Shackelford will discuss the Gerald Reed case. We will also discuss the importance of #CPACNOW to the community and why it's needed. Mayor Rahm Emanual has implemented COPA and refuse to allow citizen oversight of the police department.Let's support this family. Mrs. Shackelford's son has been wrongly imprisoned and tortured. It's time to put pressure on Kim Foxx, Bruce Rauner, Rahm Emannuel and other politicians that can remedy this problem. It's not only Gerald Reed, there are well over 100 people who were forced &amp; coerced into giving false confessions. This includes men, women, black, latino, poor whites,and children.
