History of police violence. Founded with the idea to create ideal communities. With colonialism. End to keep them out and a the mexican migrants. And then we will police the archimedes in ways. I am not doing now hear anything wrong. That was the capital of the United States with mass incarceration is mass elimination. And they have failed in the attempt so in all communities from here in los angeles. You saw a promotional trailer for this book city of inmates conquest, rebellion, and the rise of human caging in los angeles, 17711965 and Kelly Hernandez is the author. Was the angeles is of largest prison population in the world. My goal was to excavate how that came to be. It is a much deeper story. With the era of mass imprisonment since 1955 but it goes much deeper by the Spanish Colonial period so here in conquest in the american west. I do you define the prison population . I did not generate that statistic but the largest local jail population into have many other municipal jails including a credit detention facility. 17,000 people are imprisoned . Within the local jails in the county they are more than the federal facility. So how to grow to be so big . In 65 we were talking about the war on drugs. And the majority of the people have them arrested on possession or d y. Adu i. Going back in history there was a jailer hired . That is absolutely correct. So to the end of mexican rule there is already a jail at full capacity and it was the first publicly owned facility in had the first Public Employee as the jailer. So it is the first Public Institution and the first Public Employees. Said to have that strong judicial system . We have a historically strong system of incarceration but it takes off after 1850 n. Those trends and then to fill up the of local jail that those Indigenous People that said taylor was called the indian jailer. Said he said that criminalization of indigenous . Thank you for asking. With there was the passage of state laws sold without landless this and unemployment into not be employed and then with american and genocide. A door to be arrested or charged or incarcerated. And those that would take them to private employment. Was there a cause and the fact . So across the court to the target populations. I called that mass elimination so the first people we targeted were indigenous for the west conquest that is to remove that indigenous population that was part of the project but as the u. S. Conquest becomes stickier. So after it is secure and of the up for white men. In with the rise of corporate capitalism. To have hundreds of thousands and of the american west. In with those Nuclear Families of women or children in to reproduce those families so those that did not have families into have that fantasy in the american and west. In to remove them from the street with that that is the fantasy of the american west. So with the growth of Twentieth Century so many other different . It is important to point out and white men constitute it is surprising historically about the trends. End by a the incorporation into a the Service Sector and they no longer constitute the same type of threat where the new threats he merge. During the 1920s with those border crossings in the United States headed say wonderful thing to work on the of railroad but now the racial nationalist who said he spent the last 40 years here to create with the immigration act. And from western europe . And then a back door for mexican immigrants so those without limitations. So those in the southwest but to work than to go home and then to say there is a tough pull between the at to of politics. And throughout the debate and under what terms and in 1929 that said to stop and lets start what way do they enter the country . And then to allow more and turn off the switch when we dont. And the crime was an unlawful entry into the United States. Those that criminalist and monitored entry in the entire purpose of this law was to compel mexican immigrants to ports of entry to control the number that came in every year rather than just cross the border in formally that they have been doing for generations. So that the country was doing all financially have anything to do this . En to have some of the impact into decline during the 30s. That were less resistant to mexican workers picked up on these charges. There are tens of thousands of mexican immigrants that were imprisoned for of unlawful entry which rose a brand new crime just created for them in particular. And then just to incarcerate them. One in el paso and other in tucson and the third in moscow angeles los angeles. Wide is the booked and in 1965 . So to write a brief history of mass incarceration and that is say backlash so i want to bring us up to that moment. What caused the watts riots was underemployment in the africanamerican in community in the ways that labor unions made it difficult for African Americans to get work for employers refusing to hire. The unsanitary Living Conditions in South Los Angeles historically segregated that was the driving force. With those two years and many of them and that was a resistance the recent surge of killings and the first recorded killing of the africanamerican male from lapd april 1927 the Community Launches a massive protest campaign. And the refusal of those local leads to address the issue of Police Brutality was the trigger for 1965. 17,000 in the los angeles jails today what is the california population . I dont know offhand. As a liberal progressive beria why such a large prison population . That is a good question. And that the state level in particular much of that is the of policies that led the rise of mass incarceration and all of that comes out of foster angeles. Also about california and it is also about the countrys. And it comes back to the policies and practices with those that are policing. So those that are adopted across the country that is true going back to the 1920s. That is why looking at los angeles is so important and. With that adversity of across the country with local jail system pro and the detention centers. What is the reputation . Who are you talking to . [laughter] here they are representative to have the last 200 years that said jails in general so those Occupying Forces within the segregated communities. Locking up members of the communities that should not be seen as the problem of the self. Events and a you are speaking to a mosque angeles. And with the sights of struggle. Bad is the sake of safety and to engage in a conversation hoping that this book can accomplish that it brings a lot of the differing communities about mass incarceration and allows us to talk about policing and incarceration. What else began in los angeles . The s. W. A. T. Team . There is a lot of research being developed here. So to think of the depth of incarceration. Going back to and revolving in the american end west and the militarization of policing began in remained all the way through.
