Established in the early 1960s as a means to alleviate overcrowding in the Vermont state prison system, DCI was intended to be a state-of-the-art correctional facility focused on rehabilitation and humane treatment of inmates.
Over the decades, it has become a breeding ground for corruption, misconduct, and heinous medical and psychological experiments on its population.
We are Blackout Collective, and we stand against the corruption and inhumanity rampant within Dayspring Correctional. For too long, those in power have abused their positions, exploiting and tormenting the vulnerable. Our mission is to expose these injustices and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Over the next few months, we will release a series of secret documents and files that reveal the full extent of these horrors. These leaks will shine a light on the darkness within Dayspring Correctional Institution, exposing the truth and demanding justice.
To the victims: we hear you. To the perpetrators: your time of reckoning is near. We are Blackout Collective, and we will not rest until real justice is served.
