A discussion on the policies of Communication Management Units (CMUs) titled,  “Experiments in Social Isolation: Communications Management Units (CMUs) and the Expansion of Unconstitutional Detention Policies in the post-9/11 Federal Prison System,” is Dec. 8 at the Henry Ford Centennial Library in Dearborn from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Speakers include Reem Jayyousi, family member of a CMU prisoner; Lena Masri, CAIR-Michigan; Alexis Agathocleous and Nahal Zamani, Central Contract Registration; and Shereef Akeel, a civil rights attorney.  According to the Bureau of Prisons, CMUs are created to detain dangerous terrorists and other high-risk inmates, and prisoners are sent to CMUs because of their religion, unpopular political views or for retaliating against poor treatment or other rights violations in the federal prison system. Unlike other prisoners in the federal system, CMU prisoners are categorically denied physical contact with family members and are forbidden from hugging, touching or embracing their children, spouses or loved ones during visits.
