Will Potter, founder of the GreenIsTheNewRed blog, discusses the prison-within-a-prison Communications Management Units (CMUs) designed to silence non-violent activist prisoners, limited oversight and questionable legal authority for CMUs, the tendency of governments to criminalize dissent from the left and right and why the erosion of individual rights (even of prisoners) negatively effects the whole society.

Award-winning reporter Will Potter discusses the new Communication Management Unit (CMU) prisons for domestic 'second tier terrorists,' the CMU restrictions designed to silence political prisoners and the shifting definition of 'terrorism' that is used to define certain political crimes but not others.
