NorCal Resist welcomes author and former political prisoner, Eric King, to Northern California, for a timely and important conversation on America's carceral system, abolition, and how activists on the outside can support prisoners on the inside. Eric will be speaking on March 25, 2026, 6pm at Selvester's Cafe, sponsored by the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies A Clean Hell tells the story of Eric's decade behind bars: the years of surveillance and retaliation, the years locked in solitary confinement, the reality of being known as a "race traitor," and the daily acts of resistance that kept him—and others—alive. More than just a firsthand survival story and exposé, this is a blistering indictment of the carceral state and the sanitized violence it tries to hide. A Clean Hell is a crucial document of solidarity and struggle inside the belly of the beast and required reading for anyone concerned with mass incarceration, political repression, or the inhumane architecture of the US prison system.
