Friend,
New York City is preparing to renew its phone surveillance contract with Securus, one of the worst giants in prison telecoms. From data sharing to misidentification, invasive jail call surveillance practices are eroding civil rights.
That’s why this Thursday, May 28, at 3pm EST, we’re hosting a Power Down Surveillance webinar, “This Call Will Be Monitored: Surveillance in NYC Jails,” on how call monitoring extends surveillance beyond jail and prison walls, criminalizing the families and communities of incarcerated New Yorkers. Call recording exposes incarcerated people to criminal suspicion, further charges, and immigration enforcement, all while normalizing an invasive and volatile infrastructure of AI-powered tools.
S.T.O.P. Research Director Eleni Manis will be joined by advocates, experts, and organizers:
Talia Kamran (Staff Attorney, Seizure and Surveillance Defense Project, Brooklyn Defender Services)
Elizabeth Daniel Vasquez (Founder & President, The Forensic Evidence Table)
Vanessa Santiago (Brooklyn/Queens Community Leader & Canvasser, RAPP Campaign)
Theresa Grady (Harlem Community Leader, RAPP Campaign)
Maryanne K. Kaishian (Founding Partner, Kaishian & Mortazavi LLC)
Bianca Tylek (Executive Director, Worth Rises)
