Abstract
The following paper provides a historical analysis of the 1995 New Jersey Esmor immigration prison rebellion and its aftermath (including two civil class actions, Jama v. INS and Jama v. Esmor Correctional Services Inc). It presents a narrative of migrant-led resistance efforts against the neoliberal Carceral State and settler colonial ideologies during the post-Civil Rights Era.
