I think zack zappone makes a really good point about the jail not being a solution to unhoused people having nowhere to go. I'm curious why @zackzappone.bsky.social voted to make it a misdemeanor to not have a place to go in Spokane. Also, what the fuck is a flex bed between mental health and jail?

When our community is disappeared locally — disappeared from life into prisons — people on both sides of the bars are punished. Holing human beings away does nothing to help society, heal community — and it disrupts their families, their loved ones, their children. Here's a chance to mitigate harm

We are raising funds to help with the travel costs for incarcerated journalist Kwaneta Harris' children to visit her for the first time in a a decade. Kwaneta is a former nurse, business owner, and expat, now an incarcerated journalist and Haymarket Writing Freedom Fellow, from Detroit. In her writing, she illuminates how the experience of being incarcerated in the largest state prison in Texas is vastly different for women in ways that directly map onto a culture rooted in misogyny. Her stories expose how the intersection of gender, race, and place contribute to state-sanctioned, gender-based violence.

Kwaneta has spent years of her life in solitary confinement, unable to contact her children even via phone calls for long stretches of time. Because her family lives in Detroit and Kwaneta is incarcerated in Texas, it is extremely costly and difficult to arrange in-person visits. This fundraiser seeks to help offset some of the costs of travel so that Kwaneta can see her children for the first time since 2015. The photo on this fundraiser was taken during the family's last in person visit in 2015.

To read Kwaneta and her daughter Summer's incredible co-written piece on solitary confinement, click here.

Summer

I was only four months old when my mama got arrested. That’s what my grandma told me.

For most of my life, she’s been just a voice on the phone or a character in stories others tell me.

I’ve only seen her twice in person that I can recall. The first time I was 4, but that memory is so hazy I can’t tell if I’m really remembering it or just reciting what others have told me about that day.

The second and last time, in October 2015 at 7 years old, is when I truly remember seeing her face-to-face. Mama somehow managed to hold all three of us: me, my sister and my brother by our hands at the same time. But her eyes stayed on me the longest. My siblings look just like her, but I’m my dad’s twin, so I guess she was trying to memorize my face. We were getting to know each other, and I remember telling her she “talked like a white girl” because her voice sounded different in person than over the phone.

Then everything changed in January 2016. Mama was put in solitary confinement, and she stayed there until just recently, when I turned 16. We had been talking on the phone daily—me in Michigan, her in Texas—and then it all just stopped. No explanation, just silence.

Grandma was crying all the time. My sister started acting out, getting involved with boys and being bullied at school. Nobody really explained what was happening, they just said, “Mama’s in the hole.”

I was only 8 years old then, and I thought she was literally living in a hole in the ground. I would lay awake at night worrying about how she ate, where she slept, how she went to the bathroom. That’s when my stomach problems started. Everything I did in my daily life, I’d wonder how Mama was doing the same thing in that hole. Was she cold? Could she see the sky?

We were supposed to visit Mama every year. Her friends and other people would pitch in for the trip. But suddenly we couldn’t go because “she’s in the hole.” I started thinking maybe she didn’t want us to come because they might put us in holes too. I couldn’t talk to anyone about it because we weren’t supposed to tell people where our Mama was.

I still don’t understand why me, my grandma, my brother and my sister all had to be punished too. They definitely succeeded at breaking our family apart. I had relatives on my dad’s side who were in Michigan prisons, and they came home on the weekends. Some of them even called home when they were in “the hole.” I didn’t understand that Texas had different rules. I was angry and convinced myself that Mama didn’t want to talk to me.

We didn’t have phone calls anymore. Once, after years of silence, Mama called very late at night, grandma woke me up … but when I got on the phone, Mama thought I was my sister. That really hurt me, made me feel invisible.

We need "a widespread adoption of air-conditioning...to cool prison facilities." "Just one day of above average summer temperatures is associated with a nearly 4% increase in prison deaths." This is inhumane. America's current prisons and criminal legal system is inhumane. #FreeThemAll

Several courts have ruled that extreme temperatures in prison violate the Eighth Amendment’s provision against “cruel and unusual” punishment. But these rulings have not led to a widespread adoption of air-conditioning or other methods to cool prison facilities or prevent heat-related deaths. Public health researchers at Brown University estimate that just one day of above average summer temperatures is associated with a nearly 4% increase in prison deaths. Suicides spike 23% in the three days following a heat wave. And for every 10 degrees above the average summer temperature, prison deaths increase 5%.

An illustration by Avalon Nuovo for the Marshall Project colored in orange and yellow scale. The warm colors evoke feeling hot.

A man is folded almost in half, crammed inside a box. His head is oriented to our left and his feet are planted to our right. He is massaging or perhaps just holding his head with only the fingers of his right hand. His knees are squeezed to his chest. His left arm is folded across his body, hugging his knees, leaving his hand to brace against what is, in our view, the bottom of his cage.

The man looks uncomfortable, hot, and pretzel-ed around himself. The art evokes feelings of claustrophobia and over-heating.

Also: Spokane Prosecutors' negligence are to blame. Larry Haskell refused to ever prosecute any killer cop in over a decade. Preston McCollam, Haskell's hand picked successor, seems he will continue Haskell's racist, pro-violence tradition. Without accountability, SPD kills indiscriminately.

Absolutely. They knew Joshua from previous contact. They knew he was mentally ill. The Behavioral Health Unit wasn't on scene. They knew Joshua was talking to no one and smoking a joint. They knew neighbors were present. If anyone did this, it'd be murder charges. But bc it's SPD, no discipline.

Termites Unite Spokane @termitesunite.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Absolutely no reason. They did not believe anyone else was a threat, just a man who was talking to no one and was shooting his BB gun earlier, outside. Every cop involved in killing Joshua is active duty, back on the job. Valencia, who tried kicking down a random door, has no disciplinary action.

Joshua was shot numerous times at 1646. He did not receive any help for almost 10 minutes. And then only after he was frisked and dragged. If you don't want to live in a world where police kill indiscriminately, USE YOUR POWER and contact your representatives.

Video begins at 1646:07 and shows Ofc Lesser driving his patrol vehicle. He arrives on scene at 1647:30 and enters the complex via the Cora Ave entrance. He contacts officers at the bottom of the stairs leading to apartment #. After a plan is made to contact Musselman's apartment, Ofc Lesser accompanies a group of officers as they walk up the stairs and into the apartment.

Ofc Lesser assists Ofc Valencia in clearing the hallway, closet and bathroom then returns to the kitchen. Ofc Lesser drags Musselman fully into the kitchen, performs a frisk for weapons and assists in providing medical aid, placing a chest seal over the injury to Musselman's left chest (1653:07). He places a second chest seal over the injury to Musselman's left back (1653:23).

Ofc Lesser begins performing CPR on Musselman at 1654:16. At 1655:19, Ofc C Lesser passes off chest compressions to Ofc S Lesser.

Fire personnel arrive on scene and take over CPR at 1656:14. At 1700:31, Ofc C Lesser began chest compressions, taking over for fire personnel. At 1702:45, Ofc C Lesser stopped compressions, handing off duties to fire personnel again.

Medical aid continued to be provided until death was pronounced at 11716 (sic) hours. Ofc Lesser remained in the apartment until medics left, at which point he left the apartment at 1719:05, walking to the base of the stairs and contacting other officers.

15 minutes of missing footage while still on scene. Another 2 minutes without sound, as it takes that long after starting video to record audio. "Let's start with the medical stuff" after waiting until someone says Joshua is down, waiting to climb stairs, waiting to clear hallway, closet, bathroom.

A plan is made to make contact with Musselman's apartment and together with numerous other officers, Ofc Valencia moves to the stairwell and begins moving up.

At 1651:17, Ofc Valencia vocalizes that he sees a rifle. At 1651:31, Ofc Valencia advises he sees Musselman and continues up the last flight of stairs and into the apartment. An officer is heard announcing "Police, Police, Police! If you're inside, make yourself known!"

Ofc Valencia enters the apartment and turns left, clearing a hallway, a closet, and the bathroom. He then returns to the kitchen where officers are seen continuing to ensure the apartment is clear.

When the apartment is declared clear, Ofc Valencia says "let's start with the medical stuff." Numerous officers begin providing medical aid to Musselman, who has been pulled into the kitchen to provide more room for treatment.

As aid is being provided, Ofc Valencia identifies potential bullet defects in the edge of the counter below the kitchen sink. At 1657:37, Ofc Valencia leaves the apartment and returns to the parking lot. He walks out to Post St where he contacts Sgt Gonsalves. His camera is deactivated at 1659:43.

A second video beings at 1715:36 and shows Ofc Valencia walking across the parking lot of the complex. He proceeds up the stairs to apartment # and contacts the resident. The resident shows Ofc Valencia the damage from likely projectiles penetrating into her apartment from apartment #. He requests a corporal for photos. He has a discussion with the resident and looks for a projectile before leaving the apartment and contacting other officers at the bottom of the stairwell leading to Musselman's apartment. He deactivates his camera at 1728:37.

The woman described so callously had bullets tear through her walls. She was terrified. She didn't know yet her neighbor was dead, but she knew she almost died herself. Then someone started breaking her door down. Terrifying. It wasn't until the 4th kick she knew police were attacking her door.

Ofc Valenia beings running across the parking lot towards building "A" with several officers following. He arrives at the stairwell which leads up to apartment #A[neighbor] and starts up the stairs. He pauses on the landing just below the apartment door and asks if other officers have a visual on "him" (Musselman).

Ofc Valencia continues up the last set of stairs and stops in front of apartment #[neighbor]. He says, "okay, breaching," and proceeds to deliver four kicks to the door without effect. On the fourth kick. an officer yells out "Police!" while another yells "Spokane Police!" Four more kicks are delivered, also without effect. A muffled female voice can be heard, though the many of the words are unintelligible. Ofc Valencia stops his attempts at breaching the door as an officer yells "Spokane Police."

A female opens the door with her hands raised asking "What happened, what happened?" Ofc Valencia enters the apartment and has the female step out the door as another officer asks if there are any children present. The female responds "No, my son's not here." Another female is seen exiting a door, approaching Ofc Valencia and a male is

SPD deactivated camera for 30(!!!) minutes while remaining on scene. Did officers conspire to get their stories the same? Did they make sure other officers knew how to protect their own at the expense of Spokanites? And they *escorted* Spokane Human Rights Commissioner to his car off campus. Yikes

accompanies Corp Johnson to check on building "B" apartments. After making contact with numerous residents, Ofc Spring returns to the lot and observes a possible defect in a garage in front of building B. As he is returning to the lot in front of building "A," he deactivates his camera (1705:09).

A second video begins at 1735:19 and shows Ofc Spring speaking with Sgt Gonsalves. He is standing in the lot near the base of the stairs leading to Musselman's apartment (which is now taped off with red crime scene tape.

Ofc Spring contacts the resident of # Anwar Peace, who is trying to return to his apartment. Peace had been allowed to leave his apartment for the laundry room prior to the inner perimeter being established. Ofc Spring tells Peace he cannot return at this point because the perimeter has been established and that the county (SCSO) is now in charge of the scene.

Ofc Spring continues to speak with Peace for a few minutes and then escorts him around the building to where his vehicle is parked behind building "A." Peace does NOT return to his apartment through the perimeter. Ofc Spring deactivates his camera at 1743:32.

Nothing else of note is captured on body worn camera footage which is not covered in his report.

SPD made contact with a different building, entered someone's apartment, and had a view of Musselman's apartment. They did this AFTER they killed Joshua. Sheriff's report makes sure to include officer "ensures he is not injured" as if they are the ones preventing injury, rather than inflicting it.

Video begins at 1642:34. Ofc Spring is seen walking through the lot of the complex towards building "F." He contacts numerous officers where they are in a position of cover behind a vehicle in front of building "F" at the north end of the garages.

After contact with Corp Johnson, he and other officers eventually make their way to a location in front of building "C" where they have a view of the landing in front of Musselman's apartment.

At 1646:22, numerous shots are heard. Shortly after, numerous officers can be heard yelling for people to stay inside their apartments.

An officer is heard asking for officers to accompany him (Ofc A Valencia) to apartment #A. Ofc Spring remains in front of building "C" until 1649:12 when Ofc D Valencia arrives and requests officers accompany him to and (sic) apartment in building "C."

Ofc Spring accompanies Ofc Valencia and several others to apartment #C where they are granted access to the apartment. Ofc D Valencia and Ofc Spring eventually enter a bedroom which grants them a view to Musselman's apartment.

Officer Spring leaves #C when as other officers are contacting #A and returns to the lot. He makes contact with #A and #A and ensures he is not injured. He then

UPDATE! Joswar and César are still in Tacoma ICE Detention Center in inhumane conditions. Joswar's asylum hearing is later this month (August) and César's is in October. Their lawyer is working 7 days a week, also in deplorable conditions. They're still fighting. secure.e2rm.com/registrant/D...

Photo of Joswar and Cesar. They are young, laughing men sitting next to one another.

Our sincere gratitude to each of you for donating to the Cesar and Joswar Legal Fund. Your donations are making legal representation possible for these two young men. 90% of persons at the Tacoma facility do not have legal support, and we are grateful for your generosity to ensure Cesar and Joswar have the help they need to navigate the complex immigration system. In addition to paying for ongoing legal fees, these funds will cover expenses for a mental health evaluation to be used in court, commissary funds, and other items that arise to assist with their asylum cases.

Joswar will have his asylum hearing later this month and Cesar’s is still scheduled for October. Their lawyer continues to work on their case seven days a week. It is difficult work. There are only nine attorney/client rooms available for over 2,000 detainees and just last Wednesday there was only one room operational. That means a 4-5 hour wait for the attorney once they arrive to see the young men in custody.

ICE continues to pressure Joswar and Cesar to sign paperwork they cannot read and continue to pressure them to self deport. Thankfully, due to your generosity, we have an outstanding lawyer and remain hopeful they can stay in the United States.

The Cesar and Joswar legal fund is being fiscally sponsored by the Smith Barbieri Progressive Fund. 100% of your donation is being used for legal related services for Joswar and Cesar, as the Progressive Fund does not charge us any service fees or other charges. We are grateful they offer this service.

Last week we told Cesar and Joswar that we would write you all a thank you note for your donations and they both specifically requested that we extend their personal thanks. They are grateful and saying nightly prayers to those that may not know them but continue to help them.
