If you’d like to drop off a book please remember that they need to be in new condition, nothing explicitly sexual or violent is allowed in, and no technical manuals.

Time is fake and it’s almost the first Monday of the month again. That means we’re meeting up to write letters to prisoners! We focus on supporting victims of domestic violence who’ve been incarcerated. Mask up and come join us if you’re around the Portland area!

Victor Puertas is one of the forest defenders who has been charged with domestic terrorism. He was released by the DeKalb jail and immediate picked up by ICE, and has been transferred to Stewart Detention Center. Call, write a letter, throw some money at his books if you’re able. Anything to support. What he’s going through is horrifying.

The feds are utilizing a law originally meant to protect abortion & reproductive healthcare providers against pro-choice activists. The state seems determined to stop at nothing to stifle dissent & is using every tool in its arsenal.

Bang Up and Smash – by ASBO

“Many people have been sentenced or remanded recently for the Kill the Bill demos, and are currently in prison, or awaiting trial. There are many more to come. In the process of providing random information about prison to people facing custodial sentences, I have revisited some of the concepts that I outlined in Bang-Up. This has fuelled my desire for “perfect disorder”, and reminded me of the importance of asking difficult questions.

Things were bad for anyone interacting with the courts and prison system when I wrote Bang-Up. Even with my most cynical hat on, I never would have imagined how much worse stuff would get, and how quickly. The Coronavirus Act (2020) suspended even the most basic crumbs of ‘rights’ that prisoners had in the ‘United’ Kingdom; with an unprecedented roll out of techniques previously hidden, (but routinely used) by the state on its incarcerated population. I won’t go into that for now, but suffice to say, in relation to prisons, Covid-19 is a gift to all governments in terms of increasing repression, legitimising new techniques of control, and increasing bang-up..”

The savagery of Life Without Parole (#LWOP) sentencing

What specifically has been problematic about my situation is that I did not commit the crime that I am imprisoned for. I was not convicted for killing the victim in this case. I was acquitted on the charge that I personally used a weapon in the commission of the crime. Nothing at all has been fair or just about...

Why Is New York Banning Packages in Prisons?

Lakisha Santana Sell used to bring her husband, David Sell, bags filled with mangoes, avocados, granola bars, and other healthy snacks when she visited him at Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, New York. Twice a month, she weighed out bags of food, careful not to exceed the 35-pound monthly maximum.

But that tradition came to a halt this past May when ...

For the folk that write letters to Prisoners, do you write one and wait for a reply or do you write a few*?

*So that it gives them something to read or acknowledge they might not be able to reply for various reasons but could potentially enjoy reading the letters. #prisonersupport #prisonersolidarity
