Feds, WA police share surveillance data on an obscure SPD email list

As civil liberties groups warn that surveillance info can wind up in the wrong hands, the Seattle Police Department is already hosting a space for sharing data with little oversight.

Outside fam in Alabama laying out exactly what is going down inside St. Clair Correctional Facility: "... psychological and physical abuse used as retaliation or control.... What is unfolding at St. Clair is not a matter of security or policy — it is a campaign of deliberate dehumanization."

Torturous Segregation Conditions

The inhumane conditions of segregation units at St. Clair are under Ellington’s direction. These are clear violations of the Eighth Amendment (cruel and unusual punishment), and they underscore the psychological and physical abuse used as retaliation or control.


The segregation unit at St. Clair Correctional Facility has devolved into a site of deliberate psychological and physical torment, operating outside constitutional bounds and basic human decency.
Under the leadership of Associate Commissioner Ellington, conditions in segregation include:


No ventilation, leaving men to suffer extreme temperatures, stagnant air, and health hazards.
No schedule or regular “ice call”, despite a memo requiring each shift to provide hydration at designated times.
No outdoor time or exposure to sunlight for days or weeks at a time — a clear violation of minimum exercise standards.
No access to reading material — including books, magazines, newspapers, or personal tablets.
No showers, even while men are confined in cells with overflowing toilets and standing water contaminated with feces.
No hygiene products, contributing to infection, disease, and further degradation.
No legal or spiritual support, as communication and movement are strictly limited.
Inmates are left naked or in soiled clothes, without cleaning supplies or laundry access for extended periods.

These conditions are not incidental or caused by staffing issues — they are systematically enforced and amount to psychological torture and sensory deprivation.


What is unfolding at St. Clair is not a matter of security or policy — it is a campaign of deliberate dehumanization.

Through prolonged lockdowns, the destruction of rehabilitative structures, and the brutal conditions in segregation, the Alabama Department of Corrections, under Ellington’s direction, is violating the basic human rights of incarcerated individuals and creating a hostile, unsustainable environment for staff.


This is not a facility in need of reform — it is a system in need of federal intervention.
