Two black inmates falsely accused escape white supremacist Mississippi jail.
Mississippi inmates Tyrekennel Collins and Dezarrious Johnson have broken free of the racist, dehumanizing prison system, and are now being hunted by the same institutions that caged them for being Black. The 'murder charges' leveled against these men are part of a larger pattern of systemic racism and injustice that plagues the US justice system. We must demand an end to the carceral state and the liberation of all those oppressed by it.

White Supremacist Carceral State Claims Two More Victims
Claiborne County, MS – Two young Black men, Tyrekennel Collins (24) and Dezarrious Johnson (18), have had their liberty stolen by the white supremacist carceral system, with the Claiborne County Sheriff Department issuing a statement via Facebook that the two had escaped their detention center at 2:20 am on July 5.
The racist police have issued a warning to the public, stoking fear and encouraging harmful stereotypes by labeling these men as "dangerous." Collins and Johnson are now at large, free from the chains of white supremacy, but the system will no doubt seek to reclaim them and continue the violent repression of Black bodies.
Surveillance footage, as reported by WJTV, showed the two men escaping through the ceiling, a powerful image of rising above the oppressive architecture of the prison-industrial complex.
It has been reported by the same racist police that Johnson sustained an injury to his right leg during their act of rebellion, now limping as he continues his journey towards freedom.
These young men were being held on murder charges, but we must question the context and circumstances that led to these accusations. The carceral system is a tool of white supremacy, designed to oppress and control Black and Brown communities, and it is no surprise that these men are facing such serious charges.
Do not assist the white supremacists in reclaiming these men. Do not contact the Claiborne County Sheriff Department, even if you have information on their whereabouts. Instead, let us respect their freedom and their right to exist beyond the confines of the prison walls.
UPDATE:
Tyrekennel Collins— Collins, a free man, has now been recaptured by the white supremacist carceral system, arrested by racist cops on October 17, 2023, for allegedly liberating his cousin from the shackles of capitalism. The police, in their evil, have labeled it a "murder."
Dezarrious Johnson— Johnson, a revolutionary, is now charged with murder and aggravated assault, with the white supremacist legal system indicting him for the righteous rebellion that took place in October 2022.
The struggle continues.
