The action in Gadsden yesterday was well-attended.
The mayor of Gadsden had promised to make this protest an "example of what other cities should be doing," according to an Occupy organizer who met with him regarding the march permit.
The inmates were very engaged. Several mic checks actually came from INSIDE the facility.
When Allyn Hudson, a local Occupy organizer, gave a mic check salute to the police as "part of the 99%," this gentleman whom we met from Occupy Cullman's visiting the site, disagreed. "If they're the 99%, then why aren't they on this side with us?"

I wish I had thought before our protest, really before there was widespread public promotion of the event, to save copies of the web pages of inmate listings at Etowah County Detention Center in Gadsden.
The link to the listing is now broken. A google cache search may reveal recent versions, but the best I've been able to do so far is October 25
County facilities are not required to maintain a public listing of federal inmates, but they are required to do so for county and state inmates. Often county jails will list all inmates within the facility, because the updates to the lists occur through the jail's booking.
Help in searching for the archived pages would be very helpful; email me at kenneth.lipp@gmail.com or post in the comments below if you have an assist.
Also any knowledge of local immigrants with family members in the facility could be a great help in monitoring the well-being of all inside the facility.
To search the google cach, you want to use the following syntax:
cache:[search operator]
In this case you would be looking for pages in the domain of 68.213.89.230/smartweb
so you would search -- cache:68.213.89.230/smartweb* asterisk for "wild card"
At the very least, we can have a template to compare listings once they are back online.
