Meanwhile, a trio of eco-warriors (Raimi, Weyland, and Yutani) infiltrate the Chaank headquarters in order to destroy its digitally-stored assets and send the company into bankruptcy. Carpenter calls Cale after finding Ridley's mutilated corpse which had an implanted life-sign transmitter. She investigates Ridley's death and discovers that whatever killed him came from Vault 10. Taking matters into her own hands, she terminates Dante's employment and seals the vault. Dante is about to shoot her when the eco-warriors show up and take everyone hostage. They demand access to the building's secure area in order to destroy the company's digital bonds, but Cale refuses to cooperate. Raimi goes to their alternate plan to cut through the bulkhead leading to the containment area. Dante, sensing his chance, "helps" them by suggesting they cut through one of the vaults surrounding the containment instead, suggesting they start at Vault 10.
Raimi and Yutani cancel their operation in an attempt to escape from the building, along with Carpenter and Cale. Carpenter is killed by the Warbeast inside of a lift. Later on, Raimi, Yutani, and Cale manage to reach the top floor of the building, which holds classified items, whose existence even Cale is unaware of. Among the classified items are the primary components of Project: Hard Man, including advanced weaponry and armour. Raimi suits up and downloads the Hard Man data into his brain. Fighting off the Warbeast, he manages to slow it down enough to allow an escape via an outdoor service elevator. Yutani, however, is killed by the Warbeast after hitting his head and falling in front of it. Once Raimi and Cale make it back to the surface, they have an encounter with a police officer who is quickly killed by the Warbeast as it leaps down from the rooftop. It chases Cale and Raimi back into the building. Fortunately, Raimi is able to partially incapacitate the Warbeast. However, the explosion knocks him unconscious. The machine takes Cale back to Dante. During their conversation, Raimi regains consciousness and subdues Dante. The two escape, and Hayden traps Dante inside of Vault 10 with his own Warbeast. A closing shot of Vault 10's reinforced door implies that Dante is now being hunted by his creation.
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is the physiological process whereby individual cells are deliberately eliminated to achieve homeostasis and proper metazoan development. Numerous genes have recently been identified that are involved in apoptosis: some are believed to encode death effectors, whereas others encode positive or negative regulators of the cell-death machine. Precisely how these various proteins interact in the molecular mechanism of apoptosis remains to be discovered.
Incarceration is not justice. State-sanctioned death is not justice. If we really want to honor the legacies of Brandon Bernard, Toyin Salau, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and the countless other Black people who have been murdered in cold blood by the United States, we must actively organize to defund the police, abolish the prison industrial complex, and destroy every system that deems Black life disposable. Only then can we create a world where every life is precious.
On December 10th, Brandon Bernard, a 40-year-old Black man from Indiana, was executed via lethal injection in Terre Haute penitentiary. In 1999, at 18 years old, Bernard was sentenced to death by an all white jury after being charged in relation to the murder of Todd and Stacie Bagley. At 40, he was the youngest person on death row to be executed by the federal government in almost 70 years. In recent months, his case re-entered the public eye as several of the jurors and the prosecutor involved in the case had changed their minds about Brandon\u2019s fate and hoped to have his sentence commuted (reduced). Many high profile celebrities, including Kim Kardashian West, also used their social media platforms to bring attention to Bernard\u2019s case and persuade Trump to call off the execution. Despite these efforts, Brandon Bernard was murdered. According to a reporter present at the execution, his last words were directed at the Bagley family: \u201CI'm sorry. That's the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day.\\\"
Bernard was one of countless people who have been put on death row in the US prison system, and the ninth person to be executed under the death penalty this year. In November, Orlando Hall, a 49-year-old Black man from Indiana, was killed via lethal injection. One week before this, Christopher Vialva was executed in front of his mother and aunt in a Texas prison. Though the death penalty has been law in America since the 1970s, until recently federal executions were a more rare practice: the last execution in a federal supermax prison before this year occurred in 2003 when Louis Jones was killed in Indiana. This changed in July, when Attorney General William Barr announced that the Trump administration would be restarting federal executions after more than 15 years. According to reporting from Sojourners, the Trump administration has four more executions scheduled between Bernard\u2019s death and January 15th, which is the most executions ordered under one president in over a century.
The death penalty is a cruel and inhumane practice, and the increasing number of people facing federal execution illustrates that our government views incarcerated people, many of whom are Black or poor, as disposable and less than human. But 2020 has brought about yet another method of killing people in prisons. A December 5th report from Sentencing Law and Policy notes that there have been 1,527 federal executions in the United States from the 1970s through today. However, according to data from The Marshall Project, 1,657 people have died from COVID-19 inside US prisons as of Monday, December 14th. This means that in nine months, the coronavirus has killed more people in US prisons than capital punishment has in over fifty years. For this reason, many have begun to call covid-19 \u201Cthe new death penalty.\u201D
For many Americans, this past year has forced us to become uncomfortably familiar with death; most people in this country know someone who has COVID-19, who lost their healthcare, or has come closer to dying in some big or small way. This reality, and the subsequent apathy from our government, has caused many to embrace more radical frameworks that prioritize community safety\u2013\u2013such as abolishing prisons or defunding the police\u2013\u2013in the hopes that these changes will help create a culture where human life has more value. Cases like Brandon Bernard\u2019s help illustrate how getting rid of the death penalty, and abolishing prisons as a whole, are critical steps in building this new world.
To some, it might seem like a stretch to compare the coronavirus to the federal death penalty as covid has killed thousands of people outside of prisons and jails as well. However, recent data demonstrates that living inside a US prison, particularly during the covid-19 pandemic, essentially equates to a death sentence. On October 12th, an investigation from USA Today found that \u201Cthe biggest source of coronavirus infections in Illinois are federal, state, and county prisons and jails,\u201D with \u201Cthe largest count of any single outbreak\u201D occurring at Cook County Jail. In April, more than half of Rikers Island, New York City\u2019s main jail complex, was locked down for quarantine due to exposure to the coronavirus. Three incarcerated people died at Rikers during the spring, and more than 1,400 correctional officers reportedly caught the virus, illustrating the magnitude of its spread. There are many reasons incarcerated people face higher risk of contracting covid-19: reports from several prisons indicate that incarcerated people are often not given masks to protect against the virus, and hand sanitizer is still considered \u201Ccontraband\u201D in many prisons and jails across the country. It is difficult for incarcerated people to social distance, as most living quarters inside prisons are very small, with beds as close as three feet apart in some facilities. And if people do get sick, there are extremely limited options for healthcare.
The combination of the coronavirus crisis and increased executions under the Trump administration has brought the issue of the death penalty-\u2013and a larger conversation of prisoners\u2019 rights\u2013\u2013to the forefront of our cultural conversation. However, a look into the history behind the \u201Ccriminal justice\u201D system in America illustrates that prisons have served as instruments of mass death and disenfranchisement since long before 2020. At the end of the Civil War in 1865, the 13th ammendment abolished slavery \u201Cexcept as a punishment for crime.\u201D So when the United States created a federal prison system in 1891, it\u2019s original purpose was to replace the economic and social practice of slavery by oppressing, disenfranchising, and murdering Black people under a different name. (To this day prisons, like the slave trade, rely on Black bodies for unpaid or severely underpaid labor, outsourcing work from incarcerated people to companies like Walmart, AT&T, Whole Foods, and Victoria's Secret for wages as little as $0.86 per day.) During the trans-Atlantic slave trade, which took place from approximately 1619-1865 in the United States, an estimated 17 million people were enslaved according to data from the United Nations, though other estimates place the number at closer to 60 million. During this time, countless enslaved and freed Black people were killed either directly or indirectly by the state through rape, starvation, hangings, malnourishment, suicide, and other methods. The modern US prison system has continued this practice of operating as a mass death machine, and one that disproportionately affects Black Americans. Although Black people make up only 13% of the US population, 40% of the 2.3 million people in American prisons are Black. A February 2020 report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics indicates that from 2015-2016, the number of deaths in U.S. state prisons increased from 296 to 303 per 100,000 people. This means that approximately 0.3% of the incarcerated population dies while in jail every year, and that\u2019s excluding COVID-19.
