Revolt at the Attica La rivolta di Attica

Perhaps no other prison riot has received as much notoriety as the uprising at Attica (New York). From the onset, Attica became a metaphor for numerous social problems, including racism, oppression, and injustice. Metaphors aside, in-depth investigations of Attica have concluded that racism, oppression, and injustice were salient features before, during, and after the riot.
